US President Donald Trump has launched another attack on the media

US President Donald Trump has launched another fierce attack on the media at a rally in the city of Melbourne in Florida. He said the media didn't want to report the truth and had their own agenda.


Mr Trump insisted that the White House is running smoothly, and used a campaign-style rally to bring his message to supporters "without what he described as the "filters of the fake news."

In his speech, Mr Trump assured Americans he is fulfilling his promises to shrink government, rebuild the military, and repeal and replace health care reforms enacted by his predecessor Barack Obama.

"This will be change for the ages," the new President told several thousand supporters in an airport hangar in Melbourne, a sun-bleached city on Florida's Space Coast.

"The White House is running so smoothly, so smoothly"  he said.
"The dishonest media, which has published one false story after another, with no sources... they just don't want to report the truth," he said.

"They've become a big part of the problem. They are part of the corrupt system." he said.
