Later, the President, in a tweet, especially congratulated Fox News (famous for their politically inclined coverage) for their coverage of the inauguration and called CNN fake. “Congratulations to @FoxNews for being number one in inauguration ratings. They were many times higher than FAKE NEWS @CNN – public is smart!” he tweeted.

Amid all the hullabaloo around ‘alternative facts’, the tweet didn’t go down well with author Chetan Bhagat, who took to Twitter to advise Trump that this line of tweeting might not do him any good but only damage his already marred public image. He also suggested that probably no other president in the world cares so much about TV channel ratings.

“Sir u really think any president anywhere in the world cares about a TV channel’s ratings? Sir before you tweet, think of the upside (none, as you are prez already) and then the downside (huge, as u have lot to lose). Restraint pls,” he wrote.
