President Donald Trump said it’s “great news” that a hedge fund run by billionaire Paul Singer had taken a new position in AT&T Inc., saying he hoped the investment by Elliott Management Corp. would “put a stop to all the Fake News emanating” from anchors at CNN.
Trump said in a tweet the cable network was bad for the country and that its international news operation “spews bad information” across the globe. He also repeated foreign leaders have asked him about critical coverage without providing further substantiation. The president also criticized Comcast Corp. and its MSNBC cable channel, saying the network was “incapable of saying anything positive.”
