President Donald Trump reveals 2017 Fake News Awards

President Donald Trump came through on presenting his 2017 Fake News Awards. 

The New York Times took the top spot for predicting financial markets would "never recover" from his election. 

Trump's initial tweet with the link inside and a tease of "And the FAKE NEWS winners are ..." crashed, with Error 404 messages immediately after. The tweeted announcement came out at 8 p.m.


He followed that with a tweet praising some journalism coverage: "Despite some corrupt and dishonest media coverage, there are many great reporters I respect and lots of GOOD NEWS for the American people to be proud of!"

 

"Below is the full list of winners of the 2017 Fake News Awards:
