White House press secretary Sean Spicer addresses media

Donald Trump's press secretary Sean Spicer is addressing the media after The White House released a list of several dozen terror attacks that it contends were insufficiently covered by the media.

President Donald Trump on Monday accused the "very, very dishonest" media of not wanting to cover terrorist attacks, adding without elaboration, "They have their reasons."

He leveled the charge during a visit to the headquarters of the US Central Command in Tampa, Florida, but provided no specifics.

The White House followed up late Monday with a list of 78 attacks carried out between September 2014 and December 2016.
