Trump Has Launched A “Real News” Program On His Facebook, Hosted By His Daughter-In-Law
In one video, Lara Trump said she’d be back every week to provide updates on the president’s accomplishments.
After months of denigrating the media as fake news, President Trump has launched a news program of his own on Facebook featuring his daughter-in-law.
“Watch here for REAL news!” a post on the president’s Facebook page said Sunday.
Lara Trump, who is married to the president’s son Eric, appeared as the video’s host in front of a Trump campaign background. Speaking to the camera like a TV news anchor, she offered updates on news favorable to her father-in-law.
“I bet you haven’t heard about all the accomplishments the president had this week because there’s so much fake news out there,” she said.
……
The White House did not immediately respond to questions about how the video came to be produced and if Lara Trump should be considered part of the president’s communications team. She previously worked as a producer for Inside Edition and has frequently made appearances in support of the Trump campaign.
She first promoted what will apparently be a series two weeks ago, encouraging the president’s 23 million followers on Facebook to tune in every week.
“We’re going to bring you nothing but the facts — stay tuned,” she said.
…….
With her video update, Lara Trump offered one more way the president’s supporters could avoid news reporting on the issues surrounding the White House.
“Thanks for joining us, everybody. I’m Lara Trump, and that is the real news,” she signed off.

this is helpful only in sense that it gives a concrete definition to trump's idea of "real news" which is propaganda https://t.co/KrZC1Gqkvz pic.twitter.com/chA51lkHF1

His own little Facebook propaganda site hosted by another Trump family member. How cute.
In Trumpieland only news favorable to Trump is real. If the news is critical, then it must be fake.
This presidency is becoming more and more like a dictatorship where the state-controlled media paints everything as rosy.
