President Trump blasted the "out of control" dishonesty of the mainstream media during a Thursday press conference, accusing reporters of distorting facts to help special interests.

"Many of our nation's reporters and folks will not tell you the truth and will not treat you with the respect you deserve," Trump said from the White House's East Room.

Trump later pushed back at reports his administration is in "chaos."

"I turn on the TV and open the newspaper and sees stories of chaos. Chaos," Trump said.

"Yet it is the exact opposite. This administration is running like a fine-tuned machine, despite the fact I can't get my Cabinet approved."

Trump accused the media of targeting him as retribution for his election victory.

"In other words, the media is trying to attack our administration because they know we are following through on pledges we made and they are not happy about it, for whatever reason."

"I was given that information, I dont know. We had a very, very big margin. I was given that information. Actually Ive seen that information around, but it was a very substantial victory," he said.

Minutes earlier, reading off what appeared to be scripted remarks, Trump lauded a new poll from the conservative-leaning Rasmussen that found he holds a 55 percent approval rating, significantly higher than other recent polls.

As he blasted the media for its low approval rating, Trump said he believes it's a public good to correct the media.

"Theres nobody I have more respect for, well maybe a little bit, than good reporters. Its very important to me, especially in this position," he said.

"I dont mind bad stories, I can handle a bad story better than anybody, as long as its true."
