CNN correspondent Jim Acosta suggested President Trump’s press conference Thursday in Poland was a “fake news conference” because he called on a reporter who is an “ally of the White House.”
During the press conference, Trump chose Daily Mail reporter David Martosko, who has publicly said he spoke with Trump about a possible White House job, to ask a question.
Martosko asked Trump about potential military action against North Korea and also about the fallout of the president’s tweet that included a video of him tackling a man with a CNN logo for a head.
Isn’t it a “fake news conference” to take a question from a reporter who is essentially an ally of the White House? https://t.co/vD7DgAZXIv
