President Donald Trump continued hiswar on the media Saturday by attacking The New York Times and The Washington Post in a series of typo-ridden tweets.

Trump, who has repeatedly lashed out at the Times in the past,accused the newspaper of beingfake news and dishonest.

Trump insisted that both outlets producefalse and angry stories about him, claiming that the Times had issued an apology to its readers for its coverage of the president. This did not happen. The Times did publish a note to readers in November written by publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. and executive editor Dean Baquet, who speculated that Trumps sheer unconventionality had led the paper to underestimate his support among American voters. But this was not an apology or a retraction of any of the Times Trump-related coverage.

The Times public relations team on Saturday fired back at the presidents claim that the outlets readers are dwindling, tweetingthat its audience numbers are actually at an all-time high.

The Times, which has won more Pulitzer Prizes than any other news organizationin history, told CNBC in November that it added nearly 132,000 paid subscriptions in the three days following the election.

Saturdays tweets are just the latest salvo in what Trump called his running war with the media on Monday while speaking at the CIA headquarters.

Stephen Bannon, chief White House strategist and executive chairman of the controversial right-wing news site Breitbart,mirrored Trumps aggressive stance against the media in an interview with the Times this week.

The media here is the opposition party, Mr. Bannon told the Times on Wednesday. The media should... keep its mouth shut and just listen for a while.
