WikiLeaks: Trump Admin. a 'Frequent Source of False Info'

WikiLeaks hit out at President Donald Trump's administration late Wednesday, after the Republican National Committee announced the winners of his "Fake News Awards."

Comment: While @WikiLeaks, as a primary source organization with a perfect verification record welcomes debate over "fake news" it should be noted that along with the U.S. establishment press, the Trump administration is a frequent source of false information. #FakeNewsAwards

Frequent Trump targets CNN, The New York Times and The Washington Post were all named in the president's "Fake News Awards."

WikiLeaks did agree with Trump on the report suggesting Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr., had access to hacked documents from WikiLeaks. Although the award was given to CNN, WikiLeaks notes NBC and CBS "originated or 'verified' the same false story."

While Trump's #FakeNewsAwards attributes the "bronze" (#3) medal to CNN, in fact, NBC & CBS also originated or "verified" the same false story in an extraordinary case of triple fake news placement that still lacks all transparency or discipline. https://t.co/jpaIvWte0G
