"[T]he Trump media strategy is looking more and more like a hall of
mirrors, where real leaks provide what the president blasts as 'fake
news' — but that same news, vociferously denied, can get a top official
fired, as with the former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
In this fun house, a president who, during the campaign, proclaimed 'I
love WikiLeaks!' because that organization’s leaks were causing
political damage to his opponent, now bemoans the dangers of leaks that
cause political damage to him. . .
It’s hardly new that American presidents both decry leaks and use them.
But in the extremes of behavior on one side and rhetoric on the other, Trump may be setting a new standard for trying to have it both ways."
Read the Washington Post, Trump’s tough talk on leaks is one thing. His actions tell another tale.
He only hates leaks (and news) that doesn't flatter him
