It's a pretty noteworthy thing for a sitting President to do. I can't even think of a precedent.
So, the discussion of it shouldn't be surprising.

Interesting. Good luck finding that 100% accurate news outlet once Trump discredits everything that exists now.

Forbes: Trump's Punt On Fake News Awards: In The End, He's Got Nothing
He's all talk.
President Trump spent most of the last year railing on the country's tradition of a free press, going so far as to declare journalists enemies of the state. This language is commonly associated with despots and dictators, some of whom have adopted Trump's "fake news" language in their efforts to restrain the flow of information in their countries. But when time came to show his cards and detail the lies journalists have told, and the stories they have fabricated to destroy the president, he punted.
The whisper-thin document laughably entitled "The Highly Anticipated 2017 Fake News Awards" posits that "2017 was a year of unrelenting bias, unfair news coverage, and even downright fake news," adding that "studies have shown that over 90% of the media’s coverage of President Trump is negative."
Let's unpack that remarkable sentence a bit. First, "highly anticipated" is a stretch, but I'll allow it, and suggesting that negative media coverage equates with biased reporting is simply false. But claiming that 2017 was a year of "unrelenting bias and unfair news coverage" sets up readers to expect an indictment of the media--with the facts to back it up. And in that regard, the "Fake News Awards" slink into view like a homework assignment quickly scribbled on the bus ride to school. If the "winners" listed are the best examples of a free press intent on destroying democracy, we can all rest easy.
Take Fake News Award number eight: "Newsweek FALSELY reported that Polish First Lady Agata Kornhauser-Duda did not shake President Trump’s hand." If you are assembling the "highly anticipated" Fake News Awards, and someone suggests this as an example of reporting that, as Trump said in a tweet last July, "is distorting democracy," then you might want to sit down and think about why you don't have better examples of history-shifting bias than this ridiculous false report about a handshake.
Since 2016, Trump has accused CNN of being "fake news" in more than 30 tweets, and yet of the four stories selected for Fake News Awards, one is this truly shocking incident: "CNN FALSELY edited a video to make it appear President Trump defiantly overfed fish during a visit with the Japanese prime minister. Japanese prime minister actually led the way with the feeding." Guys. Please. Even if that were true, and you've offered no reason to believe it is, nobody cares--including the fish.
---
This was the time to put up or shut up, and in the end, Trump revealed he's been bluffing all along. His all-caps shouting about bias and lies is nothing but bully pulpit bullying--and sadly, that's where his words are having an effect. By relentlessly repeating from lecterns adorned with the presidential seal that reporters are not honorable, not to be trusted, and actively working against the interests of America, Donald Trump is actively working to weaken one of the country's bedrocks of freedom.
All the rest is empty talk.

Wow...that was a pretty dumb thing to say. Not reporting casualty number accurately was done in order to keep Americans from protesting the idiotic engagement. Hell...that's already been exposed by the Nixon hearings.
wake up.
when a DOCTOR claims HEART DISEASE that is a MEDICAL OPINION, not an "opinion show"
Krugman is an economist, he doesn't have to physically examine a patient to make a diagnosis.
Gupta DOES HAVE TO.
Krugman is a hack economist, but it's just an economoc opinion not a DIAGNOSIS
so where is this "Russian collusion?"
Process crimes from the investigation is all that have been shown so far -even obstructionism is the same
Do you think that's what an SC was set up for? to cause process crimes or not registering as a foreign agent like Manafort?

That's a medical opinion...but it's not an opinion?
You have no idea what you're complicit in right now. None of these so-called awards were "fake news." You can think Krugman is a hack economist - nothing wrong w/ that. But he wasn't "reporting news." His OPINION is not "fake news."
You have made the term "fake news" meaningless w/ its repetition and by misapplying it to opinion pieces and inaccurate stories for which corrections were issued.

Opinion panels on CNN & MSNBC talking about Russian collusion are not news outlets reporting that there was Russian collusion.

More pandering to his base...30% of the country.
All that is necessary when doing so, is the creation of a soundbite that is easy to repeat, easy to remember, and carries absolutely nothing of value.
It's factual. It's not even trying to over-reach by showing SLANT which shows INNATE BIAS.
Those are some pretty nasty moves in there by Fake news -like claiming Russian Collusion by Acosta.
It actually caused a small market panic.
Or fake tweets showing Trumps "small audiences"-to falsify his popularity at rallies.
Or the lies about sSaramuchi -it got him fired, that;s consequential.
Or saying Comey ws going to dispute the fact Trump wasn't a target of the FBI counterintellienc investigation-
part of the reason Comey got fired.
Hiding Climate change reports - another lie.
There is some big stuff in there,and it's just the highlites
