Trump just postponed the "Fake News Awards"-ceremony to Jan. 17th.

https://theslot.jezebel.com/oh-no-the-presidents-fake-news-awards-have-been-resche-1821859350

... the President used his favorite bully pulpit to announce he’d be handing out awards to the “Fake News Media” for all the very dishonest and unfair coverage they’ve given him over the course of his campaign and presidency. The awards, which are certainly quite real and important, were all set for Monday, but today Trump tweeted he’d have to postpone them until later this month, oh no!

...

Of course, there is a teensy chance the President was just bluffing about the whole Fake News Awards thing, and as evidenced by many airplane trips, a delay can predate a cancellation.

That the President spend a few minutes actually running the government, instead of what the hell ever this dumb stunt is about?

Idiot.

That would be "misuse of position" to single out members of the media for shaming and praise.
