Trump singled out the newspaper's billionaire owner when asked about media coverage in his second term: "That wasn't happening before."
President Donald Trump said Jeff Bezos is doing “a real job with The Washington Post” in what appeared to be praise for the direction the billionaire is taking his newspaper.
The president’s comments came after Bezos last month demanded The Post’s opinion pages limit what they cover, the latest in a series of controversial changes brought in by the Amazon tycoon since his 2013 takeover.

Attkisson asked whether the media is “treating you better” in his second term. He replied the media “hasn’t changed” before switching his focus to tech companies that have cozied up to Trump since his election.
