After promises last week to curb his sometimes controversial use of Twitter, President-elect Donald Trump went on another of his infamous tweetstorms early Sunday, targeting the New York Times for their “BAD coverage” of his presidential campaign. Here are Trump’s critical tweets about the Times, in which he claims the newspaper had sent a letter to their subscribers apologizing for their election reporting:

BS on rant! After 8 years of biased Obama support they will cover Trump "You can rely on The New York Times to bring the same fairness, the same level of scrutiny, the same independence to our coverage of the new president and his team.”

I love him most when he starts viciously bashing the US media.

For me?

If he did it EVERY day for 8 years it might not be enough.

Did the MSM show fairness and restraint towards Trump?

No.

I’m glad Trump called them out again.

They are just doing their part in the fecal stirring demanded from the losing party. Ignore them and let them know just how irrelevant they have become.

Bingo. The MSM can’t stand that Trump can get his thoughts directly to the people.

And yet, Bernie Sanders just tweeted: “Democrats have focused too much on raising incredible sums of money from wealthy people, and have largely ignored working families.”

Where is the outrage??

What the left really hates is that Trump is a master of using social media, which they thought was strictly their domain.

Every time he tweets, 10 million people hear exactly what he has to say, no filtering, no MSM translation.

It’s a new age.

Stating a fact in a reasoned way is not a rant. The media complaining that he went around the MSM to state that fact IS a rant.

ROTFLOL!

Ya’ll call THAT a rant! Telling the truth?

Why yes, I suppose the truth IS a rant to the left.

AND I’m really, really, really glad President Trump will continue to tweet: it’s the perfect way to get his message out while bypassing the enemedia!
