Trump again lashes out at NY Times, claims it's going on a 'racism witch hunt'

President Trump early Sunday lashed out at The New York Times over what he views as unfair coverage, this time claiming that it is engaging in a "racism witch hunt."

"The Failing New York Times, in one of the most devastating portrayals of bad journalism in history, got caught by a leaker that they are shifting from their Phony Russian Collusion Narrative (the Mueller Report & his testimony were a total disaster), to a Racism Witch Hunt," Trump tweeted, apparently referencing a leaked transcript of a meeting the newspaper's executive editor, Dean Baquet, held with staff last week.

"'Journalism' has reached a new low in the history of our Country. It is nothing more than an evil propaganda machine for the Democrat Party. The reporting is so false, biased and evil that it has now become a very sick joke," he continued, before claiming that the "the public is aware!"

"With all that this Administration has accomplished, think what my Poll Numbers would be if we had an honest Media, which we do not," he added in a subsequent tweet.

I'd LOVE it if the Press started to demand that he proves all of the
wild, unfounded accusations he spews out. Yell "Prove it!" as soon
as he makes a false accusation. And when he keeps blubbering
more lies to back up the accusations, keep yelling "Prove it!"
Hopefully he'll get hoarse from yelling louder than the helicopter blades.
