Trump knocks the New York Times for 'disgraceful' journalism of coronavirus coverage

President Trump criticized the coronavirus coverage of the New York Times, telling the paper they practiced “disgraceful” journalism this week.

“If they’re going to say things that are false, like the story that was written yesterday. Somebody — I think I know who, but they taped the conference call that I had with the governors. It was a good call. It was fine. I assume somebody is going to tape it,” Trump said during a press conference Tuesday in response to a question about fighting back against his critics. “They handed it to various people, and one of them was the New York Times, and the New York Times chose to write totally inaccurately about it.”
