President Donald Trump<\/a> is once again lashing out at the mainstream media.<\/p>\n This time, in defense of his constituent Elon Musk, who was at the center of The<\/em> New York Times<\/em> in a report claiming he would be \u201cbriefed on classified U.S. plans if war should break out with China.\u201d In addition to denying the report was true, Trump declared outlets such as CNN, MSNBC and The New York<\/em> Times<\/em> are \u201cdishonest\u201d and failing. He made the claims during a recent Fox News interview in which he made it clear that he sees these news organizations as a threat to honest journalism.<\/p>\n \u201cReally, we do need honest journalism in this,\u201d Trump said. \u201cWe\u2019ve made such big strides over the last two months, but we just need honest journalism. And we don\u2019t have it.\u201d<\/p>\n Donald Trump Predicts CNN, MSNBC Will Be ‘Turned Off’. \u201cHonest journalism\u201d is where they only praise dear leader https:\/\/t.co\/nWXaMXmxBx<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 I retweet a lot!

Trump slammed MSNBC, suggesting that it is even worse than CNN.<\/p>\n \u201cMSNBC is, I think, probably worse,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd they\u2019re both doing horribly in the ratings. I think they\u2019re going to be turned off.\u201d<\/p>\n Taking his criticism even further, Trump set his sights on The New York Times<\/em>, a newspaper he has long labeled as untrustworthy.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you read what\u2019s out of The New York Times<\/em>, it\u2019s such a dishonest newspaper,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s such garbage. It used to be called all the news that\u2019s fit to print. Well, it\u2019s all the news that\u2019s not fit to print.\u201d<\/p>\n Trump accused the paper of fabricating stories and using unreliable sources.<\/p>\n \u201cThey have fake sources or they don\u2019t have sources,\u201d he claimed. \u201cI think they make most of it up.\u201d<\/p>\n Wrapping up his media tirade, Trump reiterated his infamous stance on the press.<\/p>\n \u201cI call it the failing,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s a failing newspaper. It\u2019s failing. And they shouldn\u2019t do that. They really are the enemy of the people.\u201d<\/p>\n Prior to his latest rhetoric, Trump previously lashed out at CNN and MSNBC in a similar fashion during a press conference at the Department of Justice earlier this month. According to the President, the two news outlets could be \u201cillegal\u201d because he claims \u201c96.7 percent\u201d of what they write about him is negative.<\/p>\n Watch the clip below.<\/p>\n During a highly unusual speech at the DOJ, Donald Trump said that CNN and MSNBC are \u2018illegal.\u2019<\/p>\n This is what fascism looks like. pic.twitter.com\/wmPl5nwrgM<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Republicans against Trump (@RpsAgainstTrump) March 14, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/d><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n\n
