President Donald Trump is disputing a report that he watches many hours of television each day, calling it, “Another false story.”

The president is pushing back against a report in The New York Times about his first year in office that mentioned he watches at least four hours of television a day, sometimes twice that amount.

The Times report also reveals that the president wakes up at 5:30 each morning and immediately begins flipping through the cable news morning shows, watching CNN for news, some friendly coverage on Fox’s Fox & Friends, and sometimes turning on MSNBC’s Morning Joe to get ‘angry and energized.’

The Times also claimed Trump will sometimes tweet while propped up on a pillow still in bed. The article noted that Trump will sometimes move over to the next den to watch another television or make his way to the Treaty Room, often while still in his pajamas.

Trump said on Twitter that he “seldom, if ever,” watches CNN or MSNBC, “both of which I consider Fake News.” The president says he also never watches CNN anchor Don Lemon’s show, “CNN Tonight.”

Another false story, this time in the Failing @nytimes, that I watch 4-8 hours of television a day – Wrong! Also, I seldom, if ever, watch CNN or MSNBC, both of which I consider Fake News. I never watch Don Lemon, who I once called the “dumbest man on television!” Bad Reporting.

The Times said its story was based on interviews with 60 advisers, associates, friends and members of Congress.

Trump has repeatedly lodged complaints about mainstream news outlets that he argues have covered his presidency unfairly and inaccurately.

Back in July, Trump said “I have very little time for watching TV.”

The W.H. is functioning perfectly, focused on HealthCare, Tax Cuts/Reform & many other things. I have very little time for watching T.V.
