America's most prolific delivery system of fake news (Mr. Donald Trump) calls out others that use fake news

That CNN reporter was a rude clown.

Later, he said he has covered a couple administrations and hasn't been treated that way, and it was a bad sign.

A bad sign? Well, clown boy, you probably were rude and continued to try to talk over the President Elect and the other reporters, either.

Cripes, Trump is bringing order to the entitlement mentality of the first row CNN (might as well be a World Weekly News with their stories lately) reporter. Going forward, I would not let that guy ask a single question. The dude's career should be moved to the mail room.

I love that Trump is making these pussies have to up their game in order to get info.

Its about time the messenger runs the show and makes these ass clowns become better LEGITIMATE journalists or GTFO of the business. The days of "here is what we want you to say" is over.

You are in the Big Leagues now

There are plenty of honest journalists out there. They don't seem to percolate to the top, though

It's like you need to have an agenda, and that agenda must dovetail with the agenda of who you work for

In the perfect world in my head, journalists do real research and report. They hold politicians' feet to the fire

In the real world, since most network journalists are in the pocket of one side or another, I take what little I can get from them which is mostly entertainment when they screw up and then get pilloried by someone like Trump - a guy who would be completely on the ropes (and maybe in jail) if they actually did their jobs properly

(Instead of chasing obviously concocted stories like this one)

That being the case and I don't disagree, maybe we'll have to look into another of those pesky Constitutional Amendments.

Was the bad reporter man mean to the Donald?

The CNN guy was no ruder than that old bitch Helen Thomas, who sat her fat ass in the front row and usually managed to get a question in.

No, he was rude to everyone in the room.

Do you have a comprehension problem?

whats wrong with a little back forth between trump and the fourth estate? Hopefully there will be much more.

But thats just the teaser, what you really want to see is the vid of the chick pissing on his face

(Does that give him rights to the title of Commander-in-Queef?)

I feel sorry for the dirt keeping that witch in the ground.

The timeline and players involved with the MI6 operative's memo is interesting, He was first paid by the Republican Party to take down Trump, then paid by the Clinton Party to take down Trump but no media organization would touch the unsubstantiated stuff...until John McCain took it to the FBI and then the intelligence agencies felt it necessary to share it with the Obama and Trump camps lending legitimacy to the memo.

JFC...

Trump is looking more trustworthy and credible than both political parties and our collective intelligence apparatus.

Exactly, kalm.

The New York Times published this account of the exchange between Trumnp and the CNN reporter:

'"He deemed BuzzFeed News “a failing pile of garbage,” mocked an inquiry about his tax returns — “Gee, I’ve never heard that one before” — and, in an unheard-of moment for a presidential news conference, shouted down questions from a CNN reporter, declaring, with some menace, “Not you.”

“Your organization is terrible,” said President-elect Donald J. Trump, his voice rising as Jim Acosta of CNN tried to interject. “No, I’m not going to give you a question. I’m not going to give you a question.”

“You,” the president-elect said, as Mr. Acosta and other stunned journalists looked on, “are fake news.”

Any hope that Mr. Trump would temper his attacks on the news media after the campaign seemed to dissipate in the marble atrium of Trump Tower on Wednesday, as the president-elect, holding his first news conference since July, turned a controversy over his ties to Russia into a deft and unrelenting attack on the journalists who reported it.The treatment of Mr. Acosta raised alarms among news media advocates and his fellow journalists, particularly after Mr. Acosta described a threat by Mr. Spicer to eject him from the news conference when he persisted in trying to ask the president-elect a question.

Harsh words between reporters and press secretaries happen. But an anchor for a rival network, Shepard Smith of Fox News, later came to Mr. Acosta’s defense, saying that no “journalists should be subjected to belittling and delegitimizing by the president-elect of the United States.”

The National Press Club also lamented Mr. Trump’s behavior, saying in a statement: “Presidents shouldn’t get to pick and choose which reporters’ questions they will answer based on what news outlet for which they work.”'


Shouted down questions...are they kidding?

Trump was polite, at first, and repeatedly...repeatedly...tried to ask another person a question...but the CNN guy was the first to be loud, and the guy kept getting louder and kept trying to butt in and would not stop talking over Trump and the person Trump called on.

To frame this as Trump being rude is disingenuous and inaccurate. And to frame this as an attack on the media is silly. The CNN guy thought HE could shout down everyone because HE thought he had some sort of entitlement as to which order Trump selected the questions.

As to the NPC comment, two things: 1) I remember reports, mainly from conservative outlets, and certainly not from the Liberal MSM, about Obama not choosing questions from Fox reporters. Where was the big complaint about the President then? 2) Trump did call on a CNN reporter later. So the problem wasn't just CNN, it was the clown reporter who was trying to control the press conference and make it about his wants.

Shame, again, on the New York Times. Oddly enough, in the quote above, the Times used the word, "deft" to describe Trump's interaction with the reporter. It certainly was.

Oh no! Drama queen Shemp Smith is butt hurt too!

Uh....the shit started with BuzzFeed. Who, in their right mind, considers them a news source?

[Skjellyfetti]

Uh....the shit started with BuzzFeed. Who, in their right mind, considers them a news source?

Actually, Buzzfeed has a pretty good investigative journalism wing with Pulitzer Prize winners. They've broken some pretty big stories that were completely true.

The Buzzfeed article is essentially "here is an intelligence memo that has made its rounds in the intelligence community and onto the desks of Obama and Trump."

That is all true and the memo is authentic. McCain and Biden have confirmed it.

Whether any or all of the information in the memo is authentic is another matter.

The media has a simple agenda...get viewers, listeners, readers, and clicks. If there was a media outlet that really did things objectively would they stay in business? Too many people only want to hear opinions like their own.

And it's going to get worse. A lot of left-wing websites I usually read have been sounding like liberal Glenn Beck with talks of democracy itself being at stake and Trump as a Manchurian candidate and something about neonazis and blah blah blah.

I've been listening to NPR and GPB radio more lately because they're actually seeming more objective about Trump than a lot of private outlets. When you go there to get a breath of fresh air it's bad...

Trump is a little bitch. I blame the people who voted for this azz hat. Its only a matter of time before he blows up.
