Fox’s Shepard Smith reacted to the White House’s selective media shutout today by breaking down the reasons why CNN is not “fake news,” no matter how many times President Trump says so about the network.

Senior administration officials regularly speak without attribution so that the public needs to be informed of what our government is doing off the record.
