It’s been a rough four weeks for “the most trusted name in news.”
President Donald Trump’s favorite rhetorical punching bag really outdid itself in August 2019, starting with April Ryan’s bodyguard being charged with attacking another reporter. Apparently, this was only the beginning of the fake news avalanche.
