Trump and Media

In the year that Donald Trump has been President, there's been a lot of worthy, aggressive journalism probing every facet of his administration and its alleged missteps. But there's also been a series of mistakes and fact errors by top news organizations, which may itself be historic in nature. This week, the President named what he sees as top offenders in his Fake News awards. Some of his examples tracked with ones we, too, identified over the past two months while researching this report on what we think is one of the biggest stories of Trump's Year One. 
It's perhaps the biggest media miss of President Trump Year One. 
Erin Burnett: The Trump presidency from what we've seen could be dire, you think, for example, stocks could crash which is a significant thing to say. How bad could it be? 
Mark Cuban: I can say with 100 percent certainty that there is a really good chance we could see a huge, huge correction. 
Alison Kosik: It is better than the expected market nose-dive that's predicted if Trump wins. 
Melissa Lee: According to our next guest a Trump presidency could be catastrophic for stocks. 
CNN declared a Trump victory would be America's Brexit and shock U.S. and global markets. Politico agreed. Quite a few people predicted that in the unlikely event Donald Trump were elected president the stock market would crash.
