Stelter Chastises Media for Reporting Trump Claims on Saudi Arms Deal: ‘Fake News’

RUSH EXCERPT:

STELTER: "Our president is Mr. Misinformation. News outlets repeat what the president says and then they perpetuate lies. That is an example of fake news. I want to show an example. This is the president talking all week long about Saudi Arabia and the U.S. Arms sales to he is giving a defense of the relationship. Here is what he has been saying all week long."

TRUMP: "They have a tremendous order, $110 billion."
TRUMP: "I worked very hard to get the order for the military, $110 billion."
TRUMP: "It will be ultimately $110 billion."
TRUMP: "They’re spending $110 billion."
[CLIPS END]
STELTER: "Some news outlets put it in the headlines acting like it is true but the $110 billion figure is fanciful and unlikely to come to fruition. This is a fundamental problem that we talk about for fake news and lies."
