January 07, 2019 23:07

US President Donald Trump on Monday launched a fresh attack on news media, saying it consists of many "crazed lunatics" and "is truly the enemy of the people".

Alleging that The New York Times has published an "inaccurate story" on withdrawal of US troops from Syria, Trump said the mainstream media is not giving adequate coverage to the achievements of his administration.

"The Fake News Media in our Country is the real Opposition Party. It is truly the Enemy of the People! We must bring honesty back to journalism and reporting!" he tweeted.

Slamming The New York Times for its alleged inaccurate story on Syria, Trump said "the failing" news outlet has intentionally published an inaccurate story on his intentions on Syria.

"We will be leaving (Syria) at a proper pace while at the same time continuing to fight ISIS and doing all else that is prudent and necessary!" he tweeted.
