A survey from President Trump’s campaign meant to gather anti-media answers has turned into an online proxy war between those who support the president and those against him.
On Thursday, moments after he completed an hour-plus press conference, in which much of the time was spent attacking reporters and “fake news,” Trump’s team emailed out a survey to all his supporters imploring them to help fight the mainstream media. Such surveys are common ways to collect supporters’ emails, which can later be used for fundraising pitches.
“You know that I don’t trust the media to report on anything we achieve,” read the email.
