Trump tells CNN 'I don’t watch Fake News,' at a Black History Month event

The White House recently hosted a Black History Month event and Donald Trump delivered a speech, praising historical civil rights activists such as Dr Martin Luther King.

Addressing a group of African Americans in attendance, the president spoke of a news story that alleged he had removed Dr King’s bust from the Oval office.

He proceeded to call the press a ‘disgrace’.

You read all about Dr. Martin Luther King a week ago when somebody said I took the statue out of my office...And it turned out that that was fake news.

So I think it was a disgrace, but that's the way the press is.

Then, he moved on to the subject of CNN. Again.

I don't watch CNN, so I don't get to see you as much. I don't like watching fake news.

POTUS praised other news organisations however,

But Fox has treated me very nice, wherever Fox is, thank you.

This is the same Fox News that incorrectly reported Quebec's mosque shooter was Moroccan, and then didn't remove the tweet until the Canadian Prime Minister told them to.
