President Trump is known for railing against what he calls the “fake news” and “dishonest” media but on Thursday offered words of praise for a group of journalists covering him at the White House.

During a meeting with Atlanta’s I-85 bridge fire first responders in the Roosevelt Room, Trump said of the press pool: “They’re very famous, it’s called the media. They’re very honorable people.”

Trump then added to the first responders: “But you are more honorable, I can tell you that.”
