President-elect Donald Trump, after a relatively uneventful weekend on social media, took to Twitter on Sunday night. His target: A mainstream media outlet.

"Just watched @NBCNightlyNews - So biased, inaccurate and bad, point after point. Just can't get much worse, although @CNN is right up there!," he tweeted.


It is not clear what precisely drew the president-elect's wrath, though NBC's Sunday night newscast did include a segment on Trump's frayed relationship with the intelligence community. That relationship has suffered in recent days with Trump's pushback against reports that the CIA and others in the intelligence community have concluded that Russia hacked the presidential election.

NBC quoted someone it described as a former senior intelligence official as saying: "It is curious that someone who refuses to take intelligence briefings has decided that he doesn't agree with the analysis contained in them."

Trump had appeared earlier in the day on a taped interview segment on "Fox News Sunday" in which he called those allegations "ridiculous." The president-elect told host Chris Wallace: “I think it's ridiculous. I think it's just another excuse. I don't believe it."
