He makes good points. Nobody can counter them.

Congressman: Washington Post 'Is Just Fake News' | LifeZette

Quote:
“They’re getting a free ride. And I’ve asked the editorial boards in the papers, ‘Do you have anyone who’s a writer on your staff that’s a writer who voted for Trump?’ And it’s like a faculty lounge, right? It’s like 99 percent, ‘No,’ if any,” Brat lamented.

“I mean, this is shocking,” Brat continued. “We’re supposed to have balanced news coverage on the news page, and I don’t think they can show you anyone on any New York Times, Washington Post, Buzzfeed, Huffington Post — anyone that voted for Trump. No one, when the nation’s 50-50.”
The media is fake news reporters who all hate President Trump.

The Washington Post and The New York Times are at the top of my fake news list. I used to read both and we had a subscription to the Times for over 20 years.

Subscriptions to both publications have gone up dramatically since Trump became president.

Newspapers generally give their local readers what they want. New York and Washington are heavily liberal/Democratic areas, so it's no surprise that the two papers lean left in their coverage.

Jeez.. Read the article and he complained about the media giving "no context" yet he called obamacare broken and gave no context. He then said there was 18 different solutions that would fix yet cited none.

Hey brat how about some context.

Because one day, so long as they are praising Trump, it's reliable news. If it is critical, it is "fake" news.

Of course the op links to a right wing conservative commentary/opinion site, and that's all it is, opinion.

It's only fake news when it's not positive and praising. If it was positive then it wouldn't be considered fake news. The fact is some articles are incorrect in every media. But the post is pretty fair and they've endorsed many republicans.

Those awards, just like the Nobel peace price or Academy Awards mean absolutely NOTHING these days. It's just liberals giving other liberals awards.
