Spicer: Media coverage of Trump has not been fair

White House press secretary Sean Spicer in a Sunday interview reiterated the Trump administration’s attacks on the media, arguing that coverage has been unfair in the first 100 days.

“They assume facts, they take narratives and continue them that are clearly not true,” Spicer told Fox News’s “Media Buzz.” 

“But I do think that a lot of times, the coverage is not fair, the stories that they cover,” he later added.

{mosads}Spicer touted the confirmation of Justice Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court as one of Trump’s biggest accomplishments during the first 100 days of his presidency. 

But the press secretary said the mainstream media always provides “a caveat” to the administration’s actions.

“The reality is that again, nothing that this president does can ever just be like, applauded for him being successfully doing what he said he’d do and getting results,” Spicer said. “There’s always got to be a caveat in the mainstream media.” 

Spicer said networks such as CNN and MSNBC sensationalize stories through their chyrons, the captions broadcast news stations superimpose at the bottom of the screen.

“They rarely admit fault and yet so many times they’re the first ones to throw the stone and they’re the last ones to admit fault,” Spicer said of the media.
