Donald trump has named the winners of the award founded by it «Fake news» 2017 year. «Rewarding», which the President initially promised to hold the January 8, occurred on Wednesday 17 January.
The President wrote about it in his Twitter:

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 18, 2018
«And the winners of the prize become FAKE NEWS…».
The link in the tweet leads to a site of the Republican party, where, under the heading «long-Awaited winners of the award «the Fake news 2017» is the blog article that leads a team of Republicans.
The article describes the cases of misrepresentation or manipulation of information, which, in the opinion of the editorial Board of national portal was the place to be in 2017.
The list includes publications like ABC, CNN, Washington Post and The New York Times. Listed 11 examples of «fake news», among them:
- The statement of Paul Krugman, one of the main columnists of the Times, after winning a trump, that «the market will never recover from this»
- A statement to CNN that trump and trump Jr. has access to a «hacked» emails of the Democrats
- The message The New York Times that Donald trump was removed from the White House a bust of Martin Luther king
- Courtesy of CNN video where trump is feeding the fish with the Prime Minister of Japan, on which the President of the United States «clearly they overfed»
- The message about hiding the presidential administration report on global warming
- The main fact of the distortion of the news team blog the Republican party, called the reports of «collusion of the President of the United States with Russia»
The article says that while the media spend 90% of time in an attempt to «negative show» of the President’s influence, or to create «fake news», trump’s actions led to at least ten important and useful for US consequences, including:
- The creation of jobs
- Tax reform
- Surrender by the Islamic state
- Energobum in the US industry
Jim Acosta, from CNN, when POLITICO informed him of that news channel is among the winners of the prize, said: «I’d say, handing me the award for «the fake news», the President himself becomes the king of «fake news».
The announcement of the «winners» took place on the same day, when Senator John McCain wrote an article in the Washington Post condemning the war trump with the press, while Arizona Senator Jeff Flake has compared the attacks trump at media with the policies of Joseph Stalin.
A decision by trump to conduct a «Fake News Awards,» according to The Guardian, is a strange spectacle, even for the usually expressive of conduct of the President.
John McCain believes that the legitimation of the use of the phrase «fake news» President can be the lever for «plugging» of journalists and publications, and to enter into the framework of the policy of total media control in the future and a monopoly on the information which reaches citizens.
