Trump: "I have a running war with the media. They are among the most dishonest human beings on earth, right?"

He has said on many occasions that the media is the "enemy of the people."

He stated, "I'm going to open up our libel laws to combat purposely negative and horrible and false articles."

"They're scum. They're horrible people. They are so illegitimate."

"I do hate them. And some of them are such lying, disgusting people."

He, in a fit of anger, said that he just might sue Rolling Stone a nd Huffington Post to "Put them out of business!"

His campaign attacked CNN's management "for peddling fake news and not reporting on the fact that President Trump is making America great again."

During his campaign he banned certain members of the media from attending events where he was speaking; and is still doing it whenever someone really ticks him off.
