Donald Trump has suggested that a contest should be held as to which television network covers him in the most "dishonest, corrupt and or/distorted" way, as he has again labelled many of the outlets "fake news".
It is one of a number of attacks by the president against the media coverage he receives, with the most vitriolic coming back in August when he called the assembled journalists "truly dishonest" and "sick people"
Mr Trump also used the term "your favourite president," a moniker he has used a number of times recently - that is despite the his approval ratings telling a different story.
The president also mocked NBC’s Morning Joe for airing a pre-taped segment the day after Thanksgiving. “The good news is that their ratings are terrible, nobody cares!” he wrote.
Mr Trump has spent the Thanksgiving break down in Florida, at what he has called the "winter White House" of his Mar-a-Lago resort.
The president made five trips to his golf courses and took repeated jabs at the media on Twitter over the holiday weekend.
He returns to the White House facing a packed agenda in Congress, including a budget and tax reform legislator.
