President Trump's grievances with the media and his political opponents took center stage on Monday during the daily White House coronavirus briefing.
The lack of any new information about the coronavirus task force's response during first half-hour of the briefing, which was focused almost entirely on the president's complaints about tough news coverage and critical remarks by political opponents, prompted networks such as CNN and MSNBC to cut off live coverage during the campaign-style video the White House played.
"Look, you know you're a fake, your whole network — the way you cover it — is fake," Trump responded.
