President-elect Donald Trump took a combative attitude toward the media at his press conference on Wednesday, calling CNN "fake news" and BuzzFeed News a "failing pile of garbage," and a straight interpretation of the New York Post's front page for Thursday would suggest that's what the tabloid means by "yellow journalism." If you know anything about the dossier on Trump's alleged, unverified ties to Russia, the phrase takes on a... different meaning.
