President Trump’s comments in Davos, Switzerland at the World Economic Forum have focused heavily on economic issues, but the president also reserved some criticism for the mainstream media during a Q & A:
"It wasn't until I became a politician that I realized how nasty, how mean, how vicious,
and how fake the press can be," Pres. Trump said at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Some boos followed. https://t.co/1uYLBHyjun pic.twitter.com/gAtC3HSEyU— ABC News (@ABC) January 26, 2018
CNN’s chief Resistance reporter Jim Acosta was disappointed in one person:
Trump says he benefited from friendly media as a businessman but when he became president he realized “how fake a press can be.” (Boos and hisses in crowd)

It’s too bad the founder and exec chairman of #WEF18 didn’t take exception to Trump remarks on press. Disappointing.

Maybe next time! Oh, and where did that smattering of boos for Trump come from, anyway?

Go figure!
Obligatory closing question:
Are you an activist, or a journalist?
