The “highly anticipated” list was basically a roundup of since-corrected reporting errors.
There was no red carpet, but President Donald Trump tweeted a link to his “highly anticipated” fake news award winners Wednesday night, as promised.
The link itself — to the official Republican National Committee website — turned out to be a bit of a fake out. “The site is temporarily offline, we are working to bring it back up. Please try back later,” the link read for many for at least an hour after the announcement.
But eventually, the website rebounded, revealing the “winners” (or “losers”).
“2017 was a year of unrelenting bias, unfair news coverage, and even downright fake news,” the introduction read. “Studies have shown that over 90% of the media’s coverage of President Trump is negative.”
The New York Times “won” first place for an op-ed about Trump’s effect on the markets, published right after the election.
