Trump's favorite propaganda team on Fox News were giddy with delight that Trump is going to hand out "fake news awards" and hopes he does it during the White House press pool. This is how state-sponsored propaganda works. Smear and destroy any and all news organizations and their reporters who don't fully embrace every aspect of the authoritarian regime they are covering. Jillian Mele prepped the Fox News segment by reading off Trump's tweets about his awards and promoted it by saying how awesome that they are. I tweeted this upon reading Trump's tweet: An autocratic ruler handing out "fake news" awards" is an affront to the first amendment and a threat to actual journalism.
