US President Donald Trump today slammed the Washington Post daily for being biased in its coverage of his administration and accused it of being nothing more than a "lobbyist" for Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos who now owns the newspaper.

The Amazon Washington Post has gone crazy against me ever since they lost the Internet Tax Case in the US Supreme Court two months ago. Next up is the US Post Office which they use, at a fraction of real cost, as their 'delivery boy' for a BIG percentage of their packages, he tweeted.
In my opinion the Washington Post is nothing more than an expensive (the paper loses a fortune) lobbyist for Amazon. Is it used as protection against antitrust claims which many feel should be brought? Trump said as he unleashed a series of tweets in which he criticised the media and defended his policies in particular that on North Korea and Russia.
Trump said America's allies in Asia are happy with his policies on North Korea.

A rocket has not been launched by North Korea in 9 months. Likewise, no nuclear tests. Japan is happy, all of Asia is happy. But the Fake News is saying, without ever asking me (always anonymous sources), that I am angry because it is not going fast enough. Wrong, very happy! he said.
