It's no secret Donald Trump isn't a fan of the media.
He once again made that clear during an aggressive press conference
in which he defended his administration as a "fine-tuned machine" and
denied his team had made inappropriate contact with Russian officials
during the election campaign.But this morning, the US President dramatically stepped up his attack on news outlets on his preferred medium Twitter:
The FAKE NEWS media (failing @nytimes, @NBCNews, @ABC, @CBS, @CNN) is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American People!

Thomas Jefferson, the author of the US Declaration of Independence, said, "The freedom of the press is one of the great bulwarks of liberty, and can never be restrained but by a despotic government."
i.e. Oxford Dictionary despotic
