As far as the press is concerned, they're going to say what they want to say. Probably about 10-15 percent of the time It's accurate.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Usually, about 85 percent of what the tabloids report is a lie. Over the last year, I can truly say it has been 99 percent.
We have got to make sure there is proper independent scrutiny and accountability for people in the press, just as there should be in any other industry where things go wrong. But let's not try and think it is for politicians or governments to tell people what they stick in newspapers. That is deeply illiberal.
The press has a right to go out and write stories... but I think similarly, and what Donald Trump has proven... is that when people are wrong, he's going to hold them accountable, and he's going to correct the record.
I wouldn't agree with some of the things that the press writes about and that's all I have to say about that.
I read a great number of press reports and find comfort in the fact that they are nearly always conflicting.
Journalists say a thing that they know isn't true, in the hope that if they keep on saying it long enough it will be true.
There's a longstanding tradition that journalists don't cheer in the press box. They have opinions, like anyone else, but they are expected to keep those opinions out of their work.
Journalists are supposed to be skeptical, that's what keeps them digging rather than simply accepting the official line, whether it comes from government or corporate bureaucrats.
You shouldn't presume that all quotes that are in a magazine or a newspaper are accurate.
I think that the press has a duty and an obligation to report on local government, state government, federal government - to be aggressive, to do its job. And its job is to report on whatever it's covering.
