President Trump has a new #1 target in the media: NBC News. Minutes after Tillerson spoke in front of cameras to dispute portions of the story, Trump called on the network to apologize. The story said that Tillerson disparaged Trump as a "moron" after a meeting at the Pentagon in July. Over the summer, Tillerson "was on the verge of resigning," and "Vice President Mike Pence counseled Tillerson" about how to ease the tensions with the president, NBC reported. NBC White House correspondent Peter Alexander had perhaps the pithiest response to the president's tweets about his network.
