WH’s Gorka: Trump Doesn’t Need ‘Fake News Industrial Complex’<\/h1>\n

President Donald Trump has more than 100 million social media followers \u2013 so “we don’t need the politically driven mainstream media,” White House deputy assistant Sebastian Gorka told\u00a0Newsmax TV<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0on Thursday.<\/p>\n

“He is right to call it fake news,” Gorka told “The Joe Pags Show<\/a><\/strong>” in an interview.<\/p>\n

Slamming the press as “the fake news industrial complex,” Gorka continued, “that’s what it is.<\/p>\n

“But you know what, it’s irrelevant \u2013 because CNN has been caught red-handed with his political agenda, with its promotion of what their own individuals call nothing burgers.<\/p>\n

“The New York Times has had to cut its staff. CNN is up to five people who are making stories up.<\/p>\n

“They are paying the cost of the American people realizing that when Donald Trump tweets about something, the president is providing them the truth,” Gorka told Pags.<\/p>\n

“When they switch on things like CNN, or when they go to The Huffington Post, it is going to be propaganda.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Turning to the Islamic State’s defeat in Mosul by U.S. and coalition forces, Gorka attributed it to Trump’s leadership.<\/p>\n

“This administration has only been in office for 24 weeks \u2013 and under the leadership of the new commander-in-chief, Donald Trump, we have helped our Iraqi partners not only to liberate Mosul but as the prime minister\u00a0[Haider al-Abadi]\u00a0of Iraq, stated, the caliphate no longer exists.<\/p>\n

“That didn’t happen in 24 months, mind you,” Gorka said. “It happened in 24 weeks.<\/p>\n

“That is the reality. That is the difference that one election and leadership can make.”<\/p>\n
