Donald Trump Blames the Media for ‘Anger in Society’

“Mainstream Media must clean up its act.”

Donald Trump has blamed the media for the anger in the country as more letter bombs were discovered Thursday morning addressed to people that he's previously criticized. Politicians and public figures who Trump has publicly disagreed with—including Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and, Thursday morning, Robert De Niro—have received potential explosive devices in the post this week. “A very big part of the Anger we see today in our society is caused by the purposely false and inaccurate reporting of the Mainstream Media that I refer to as Fake News,” he wrote. “It has gotten so bad and hateful that it is beyond description. Mainstream Media must clean up its act, FAST!” Trump has refused to take any responsibility for the bomb scares—at a Wednesday night rally he blamed media “hostility.”
