President Donald Trump has been bragging about the damage he has done to the media, with a weekend post on his Truth Social site bragging about defunding PBS and NPR. He also mentioned the elimination of third-party fact-checking, layoffs, and decline in cable ratings. The post also included photos of his appearances in various news publications. The Guardian story, written by Edward Helmore, highlighted the extent of Trump's attacks on the media. Despite these setbacks, Trump sees the media's constant criticism as "winning" and celebrated. The White House responded by saying the media has been biased and negative in its coverage of President Trump and Operation Epic Fury.
