President Trump took to Twitter to express his upset over negative news coverage and threatened to yank media credentials. But, the White House is countering that saying they continue to take the questions from the media.

The Fake News is working overtime. Just reported that, despite the tremendous success we are having with the economy & all things else, 91% of the Network News about me is negative (Fake). Why do we work so hard in working with the media when it is corrupt? Take away credentials?
