I Want to Thank the Media': Trump Showers the Press With Praise for Its Respect' for Peace Deal
"I want to thank the media for very you've been so respectful on this deal. You know, the importance of the deal, said Trump said with various world leaders gathered around him in Egypt. And I was really, it was so pleasant to watch. I was on the plane for quite a while listening to the various newscasts, and they were all fair. They were talking about how incredible this is."
"I watched your coverage, and I really appreciate it. You are a real professional not because it's good or bad, you're just really professional, Trump told Yingst while still in Israel. It would be great if other people could do what you do, because, you know, they put negative spin [in their news stories]. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not attend the summit in Egypt."
Public thanks were offered to the media for respectful coverage of a peace deal brokered between Israel and Hamas during a document-signing ceremony in Egypt. Newscasts were described as fair and focused on the deal's global and Middle East significance, with on-air commentary calling the day incredible. A Fox News correspondent's reporting over two years was singled out for professionalism and appreciated. A desire was expressed for similar neutral treatment on other topics and a critique noted that some outlets add negative spin. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not attend, citing proximity to a Jewish holiday.
