Where Does Trump Get His News From? The President's News Sources Revealed

President Donald Trump has repeatedly complained about the media every time he has given a speech or tweeted something, branding reports as "Fake News."

You would be surprised to know the president even has a 30-question survey on his website that encourages supporters and asks them to express how strongly they too, have distaste for the press.

In February this year, just one week into his presidency, Trump declared the news media were "the enemy of the American People."

Trump blames the press all the time when a crisis occurs or something happens in the country. Recently, the president took to Twitter last week during the senate hearing of his acting Attorney General Sally Yates and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper regarding the ongoing investigation into the Russian meddling during the 2016 elections.

The president criticized Yates for not disclosing new information on former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and his alleged ties with Russia. He tweeted “Fake Media” would be disappointed because they had nothing new to showcase.

Although Trump might hate the "failing" New York Times, the "dishonest" Politico and "ratings-challenged" CNN, but the president is also a fan of certain other new outlets. Where does he get his news from?

Trump’s campaign Press Secretary Hope Hicks told GQ the president relies mainly on Google News printouts provided to him by his staffers and rarely reads his own email. A 2007 deposition indicated Trump never used a computer or carried a smartphone during daytime. So he often dictated his daytime tweets for his staffers to type.

The president also follows certain news outlets and prefers to acquire his news from those. Here’s a list of some of the prominent ones.

Breitbart

Breitbart News has been quite favorable in its coverage of the president. It has gone on to defend Trump by doubting one of its own reporter's credibility when she accused Trump’s then campaign manager of grabbing her by the arm following a news conference in March. The president appreciated the outlet’s support.

The Washington Post's Paul Farhi explained in January how Trump returned the favor:

"Trump has returned the favor, doling out so many ‘exclusives’ to Breitbart’s relentless Washington political editor, Matthew Boyle, that some have wondered whether Trump and Breitbart are in business together. (They’re not, both sides say.) Nevertheless, Trump clearly holds a special place for Breitbart, which is named for its late founder, the activist and media entrepreneur Andrew Breitbart. When Boyle, 28, asked Trump about his rising poll numbers after a Republican debate last summer, Trump broke into a broad smile and high-fived the young journalist in front of startled onlookers in the post-debate spin room."

National Enquirer

Trump described the Enquirer in July 2016 as "a magazine that, frankly, in many respects, should be very respected." He also mentioned the outlet at a news conference in Ohio later in July: "I've always said, 'Why didn't the National Enquirer get the Pulitzer Prize for Edwards and O.J. Simpson and all of these things?'"

Snopes

Trump was calling Obama the "founder of ISIS" during his Presidential campaign but during the previous elections he went with the "birtherism" conspiracies – running amok with the belief Obama was born outside the United States of America. Politico had traced the source of the birtherism trends to an email chain from an anonymous sender posted on Snopes, which Trump himself had claimed to be a trafficker of urban legends.

World Net Daily

Trump declared in May, last year, the people still believe the White House attorney, Vince Foster, who took his own life, was actually killed by the Clintons or at least they were involved. When he said "people" he might have been referring to the 92 percent World Net Daily watchers, an extreme right media organisation that persevere murder investigation stories and lead the way in the so-called Clinton conspiracy, publishing "exclusive reports."

All this after three investigations had ruled the death as suicide.
