MEDIA/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/WALL: “After President Donald Trump leveled a rare Twitter attack against Fox News – a network he normally praises for its favorable coverage of him – one of the conservative channel’s anchors lambasted the president for ‘bullying journalists.’ Fox News anchor Julie Banderas was outraged after Trump posted a tweet Sunday night complaining about her network’s coverage of the fallout from the 35-day partial government shutdown and the negotiations for border wall funding…One Twitter user pointed out that this was far from Trump’s first attack on journalists. His history of criticizing news outlets, hurling insults at individual reporters and restricting access for those whose coverage he dislikes stretches back to at least the launch of his presidential campaign.”
