My point is that he should find them and name them, not make blanket statements about the media in general. I watch CNN and FoxNews among rarely others. Yes, I've seen critical reporting, but not the "pure dishonesty" or the "fake news" that "the media" is accused of almost daily. I have a problem when truth, as negative as it may be, is (dis)qualified as "dishonesty" or "fake news". I watched in an interview on CNN yesterday Kellyann Conway (she's a brave woman) talk about these issues. Hopefully, she or someone like her will be able to deescalate this conflict.

Sure, let's get our real news from Twitter and Facebook, so that "Until I know this sure uncertainty, I’ll entertain the offered fallacy"...
