After Vowing Restraint On Twitter, Trump Continues Attacks On Media

In an interview with “60 Minutes” that’s set to air Sunday, President-elect Donald Trump said he’ll be “very restrained” on social media as commander in chief. 

“I’m going to be very restrained, if I use it at all, I’m going to be very restrained,” Trump said (video above). 

But even before the “60 Minutes” interview could air, Trump was back to his old ways, launching another one of the attacks against the media that were a signature of his divisive campaign. 

The irony of Trump’s criticism of The New York Times and other outlets is that some on the left blame the mainstream media for his victory. 

On Friday, New York Times Publisher Arthur Sulzberger vowed in an email to staff that the newspaper will cover Trump’s administration “fairly” and “without bias” — which sounds an awful lot like normalizing his bigotry.
