US President Donald Trump launched an attack on the media during a rally marking 100 days in office.
At the rally in Pennsylvania, Trump said he was keeping his promises, dismissing criticism as “fake news” by “out of touch” journalists.
He said the media should be given “a big, fat, failing grade” over their coverage of his achievements during his first 100 days.

Trump skipped the White House Correspondents’ Dinner – the first US leader to miss the annual event since Ronald Reagan in 1981.
He quipped that “a large group of Hollywood actors and Washington media are consoling themselves” at the correspondents’ dinner “that will be very boring”.
Trump said the first 100 days had been “very exciting and very productive”.
On climate change, Trump said “a big decision” would be taken within the next two weeks.
