another attack in his so-called “running war with the media.”

President Donald Trump continued his “war” on the media Saturday by attacking The New York Times and The Washington Post in a series of typo-ridden tweets.
Trump, who has repeatedly lashed out at the Times in the past, accused the newspaper of being “fake news” and “dishonest.”

Trump insisted that both outlets produce “false and angry” stories about him, claiming that the Times had issued an apology to its readers for its coverage of the president. This did not happen. The Times did publish a note to readers in November written by publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. and executive editor Dean Baquet, who speculated that Trump’s “sheer unconventionality” had led the paper to “underestimate his support among American voters.” But this was not an apology or a retraction of any of the Times’ Trump-related coverage.
