White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Monday that the administration would “provide a list” of terror attacks that members of the media have failed to cover adequately, just hours after President Trump scolded the “very, very dishonest press” for avoiding stories about radical Islamic terrorism.
“He felt members of the media don’t always cover some of those events to the extent that other events might get covered. Protests will get blown out of the water, and yet an attack or a foiled attack doesn’t necessarily get the same coverage,” Spicer told reporters aboard Air Force One as the president returned from a weekend in Florida. “He’s doing what he can to protect this nation and protect our people. And that’s why I think sometimes the polls don’t reflect what you see on the media.”
