Rex W. Tillerson.During a rally in Phoenix, Arizona, on 22 August 2017, the President accused the media of being truly dishonest, fake, bad and crooked, of mak[ing] up stories and deepening the divisions within the country.I urge the United States administration to refrain from delivering such attacks on the media.
