President Donald Trump labeled reports from two major networks on alleged ties between individuals linked to his campaign and the Russian government as “totally biased and fake news” Thursday morning, continuing his tirade against allegations that his election team colluded with the Kremlin.

“Just watched the totally biased and fake news reports of the so-called Russia story on NBC and ABC. Such dishonesty!” Trump wrote on Twitter Thursday morning. He did not dispute any of the specifics of either report, which aired on NBC’s “Today” show and ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

The president's complaint comes one day after House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) announced that he had been given information to suggest that members of Trump’s transition team, and potentially Trump himself, had been inadvertently surveilled after the election, a revelation that Trump said Wednesday made him feel “somewhat” vindicated.

But even as Nunes went public with his discovery – a move that was itself controversial not only because he did not share it first with the committee’s ranking Democrat but also because his committee is in the midst of an investigation into possible ties between the president’s campaign and Russia – the California lawmaker said there was still no proof of Trump’s claim that former President Barack Obama ordered a wiretap of Trump Tower during last year’s election.

1. Does he know what bias is?

Calling shit shit is just a fact. Even if 60 million people looked at shit and said "yeah, that's a hamburger", it doesn't stop being shit.

9. Trump 'is' who he spends most time close to. He's been Bannon these couple months.

Time to get Trump close to a female book writer so he can "play a woman ghost writer" again.

When will he get tossed out of the theater? Does he think we are all here for one reason only, to watch him?

5. Hey Trumpy! When is something NOT fake news? Jeez, you're boring!

You're like a jack-in-the-box. Someone winds you up and you pop out of the box with "Fake News!" Every time you pop up, that's all you say!

10. To Trump, fake news is not those lies about Clinton touted by Infowars, et al.

He took the term "fake news" hurled against his campaign warriors and started using it to smear legitimate national news sources. He's hoping no one will remember or record for posterity how his Russian campaign machine used "fake news" to sucker his deplorable base.
