President Trump on Wednesday threatened to revoke press credentials from the “fake news” networks after a study showed 90 percent of Trump's coverage in broadcast evening news is negative.

“The Fake News is working overtime. Just reported that, despite the tremendous success we are having with the economy & all things else, 91% of the Network News about me is negative (Fake)," Trump tweeted Wednesday morning. "Why do we work so hard in working with the media when it is corrupt? Take away credentials?”

Trump didn't threaten any specific media outlets, but he has routinely criticized CNN for being "fake" and has also battled NBC, the New York Times and the Washington Post.

"Fox & Friends" reported Wednesday morning on a Media Research Center report that showed 90 percent of the coverage surrounding Trump on broadcast evening news in the first four months of 2018 has been negative, despite a CNN poll that most voters’ approval of Trump has been increasing.
