When reporters asked President Trump on Wednesday afternoon about U.S. Ambassador Gordon Sondland's House impeachment testimony earlier that day, he responded: "Well, I think it was fantastic. I think they have to end it now. He said there was no quid pro quo." That is not, in fact, what Sondland said, as a cursory glance at the front pages of major U.S. newspapers would show.
Trump is an avid, longtime, habitual consumer of media coverage of himself, though he may not see the print editions of The New York Times and The Washington Post, as he made a show of canceling the White House subscriptions to both newspapers. But the Times and the Post are hardly alone in their top headlines.
Not every news organization is on the same page, though. Peter Weber
