Donald Trump has lashed out at a television network that covered him favorably for years, dismissing its behavior as laughable. He voiced the remark publicly, and the irritation in it is hard to miss. The broadside fits a familiar pattern, since the American president regularly files complaints against media outlets. What stands out this time is the choice of target, an organization whose past coverage leaned in his favor. Trump has gone after everything from individual anchors to entire newsrooms in recent years. Supporters read these attacks as pushback against unfair framing, while critics see pressure aimed at the press. The network involved has not come back with a response in the immediate aftermath. Either way, the episode adds one more entry to a long list of presidential grievances against the media.
