Trump takes to Twitter to criticize media
President Trump on Sunday took to Twitter to critize The New York Times and the “Amazon” Washington Post for negative coverage of his administration.
“It’s hard to read the Failing New York Times or the Amazon Washington Post because every story/opinion, even if should be positive, is bad!” Trump tweeted.

Trump had gone after the same outlets just one day before.
The president blasted the Post on Saturday for an article that claimed Attorney General Jeff Sessions had discussed Trump campaign issues with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
{mosads}”A new intelligence leak from the Amazon Washington Post,this time against A.G. Jeff Sessions.These illegal leaks, like Comey’s, must stop!” Trump tweeted Saturday, making a jab at the Post’s owner, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos.
The president also went after the Times for a Fox News story that said a report by the newspaper in 2015 had led a top Islamic State in Iraq and Syria leader to avoid being caught by the U.S.
The news network updated the story after the Times asked for a public apology, following Trump’s tweet.
Shortly after his tweet hitting the media, Trump again tweeted about healthcare.
“If Republicans don’t Repeal and Replace the disastrous ObamaCare, the repercussions will be far greater than any of them understand!” he wrote.
