The White House has distributed a list of 78 terrorist attacks to support Donald Trump’s claim that the media is failing to properly report them. But the list included many attacks that were constantly reported by western media in particular.

O Trump has been consistently false accusing  'fake news'

Like with a lot of his comments, Trump raises occasionally important issues, but ruins them with his 'alternative facts' The under reported 78 terrorist attacks were actually reported a lot throughout their time. In reality it shows how many western terror attacks are reported compared to the eastern terror attcks. There is a divide in the 'importance' it has on the news schedule. This also highlights the big issue of fake news. Trump can say something not knowing whether it was the truth and certain news outlets such as CNN, rarely check the facts behind it spreading false news to their audience..
