As a political moderate and a journalist manqué, I am also very sad about the state of the media in our country.
During President Obama's eight years, the media were mostly very respectful, except when President Obama occasionally did something that the media felt interfered with their rights. Otherwise the media were delighted with his policies or kept their mouths shut.
During President Trump's first year, the media have done everything possible to denigrate the President. As a result, when they do actually print some truthful negative news about the President, many people refuse to believe it.

I am glad that the President will call out those media outlets that have spread fake news (aka "disinformation").

I am also glad that Twitter has just announced that it will (at least for the time being) allow "world leaders" (a euphemism for President Trump) to continue to post on Twitter, despite tremendous pressure from alleged liberals that the President be banned.
