Donald Trump said Wednesday that one of his great achievements as president is lowering the media's favorability among Americans, claiming a victory in his crusade against what he considers unfair press coverage at the same time that CNN is suing his administration to restore one of its reporter's revoked White House credentials.

The president, in an interview with the Daily Caller on Wednesday, said he believes Americans are starting to see many media outlets — Trump named CNN, ABC, CBS and NBC — as "fake news."


"You look at what’s going on with the fake news and the people get it," the president said. "And you know, they had a very high approval rating before I became president and I think it’s actually a great achievement of mine."

"Their approval rating now is down as low as just about anybody," the president continued.

to his presidency. But he has shown us that there are still those in the media willing to stand up to power. If only they would do it way more than they actually do.
