The Los Angeles Times ran a front page tease in the Sunday newspaper and gave page three over to the story:

NBC News covered the UN vote. ABC News covered it. CBS News covered it, too. All three networks published and broadcast a lot of related coverage. And the major outlets I’ve linked represent just a fraction of “mainstream media” coverage of the UN sanctions vote as well as the larger nuclear conflict with North Korea.

Nearly every major outlet treated it as an important story.

Only two conclusions are possible here: either Trump is deeply ignorant of the subject he is tweeting about, or he is a liar. Either way, he ought to show some respect for the truth. Trump could easily complain about media bias without misleading his base. Many thousands of news articles are published every day. He could always find an example somewhere that lends itself to a legitimate critique. If the president flagged aptly chosen content like that he might even spark positive change.

But Trump didn’t bother to find an example of flawed coverage somewhere. He just made up a complaint out of whole cloth, breezily misleading his followers about the world.

That insults their intelligence; he should stop.
