Trump: Public Catching Onto Fake News

President Donald Trump's litany on fake news rambled on Friday with the president announcing that "the public is just beginning to figure it out."

And by public the president was referring to Bill O'Reilly, the former standout Fox News host.

Sadly, they and others are Fake News, and the public is just beginning to figure it out! https://t.co/8B8AyA7V1s

The president also retweeted another of O'Reilly's observations:

A free press is vital to protecting all Americans. A corrupt press damages the Republic.

O'Reilly pointed out that the president won't be able to "impact licenses," such as FCC, something that Trump has hit on multiple times about NBC, in the president's crosshairs this week for its reporting on Rex Tillerson and nukes.
