Trump decides to skip White House press dinner

If you will pardon logical analysis:

a) To have a category of news called "fake"* news implies there's another kind; "non-fake" news perhaps. Otherwise, it would all just be called "news".

b) Based on the as yet unproven premise these two categories are valid; then believers in this Trumpian dichotomy should have some sense of the proportion, the ratio of "fake" news, to "non-fake" news.

So please enlighten us Trumpsters. What is the ratio of this magical and newly revealed news binary?

* a term perhaps akin to Conway's "alternate facts"

What is the ratio of liberal media to real news?......more liberal media, therefore more fake news than real news....

Ok, I'll bite. Give me an example of State censorship unrelated to national security.
And other than Nazi Pelosi's, "you have to pass the law, to know what's in it". That was the action of a true police state. Which the press should have gone bonkers over, but they didn't.

You've had a lot of time. Did you come up with anything yet, Micaca?

I think it's simply a case of he's a humorless asshole.

Think about it... have you ever heard Trump make a joke or a witty or light-hearted remark?

Obama used to do it fairly often. So did Clinton and both Bushes.

Hell, even guys like Bob Dole and John McCain have been known to occasionally make a little pun here and there.

But not Trump. Never. Unless it's to make some disparaging comment about someone he doesn't like.

He can't stand to hear jokes made about him though.

Because he's a thin-skinned, insecure little man who has no sense of humor.
