Screw the media. All of them. You have FOX which is to the right. You have MSNBC which is farrrrrrr left and then CNN which is left of center.

Trump should continue to take his message to twitter and not let the media distort his message.

The media should be unbiased. I would like to ask someone like Rachel Madcow:

" So name 3 things you like about Donald Trump?"

People need to tune out the media and listen directly to the individual and make up their own minds and not rely on the useless media!

What a glorious account!!!!!
You won't think so when the press become united in attacking him as scathingly as they can.

Making enemies of the entire press corp and only giving tid-bits to the ones who kizz his azz will garner him the exact opposite of what he thinks he's just taken the first step to achieve.

4 years of nothing but Trump's failures on the front page will upset even the most ignorant and blind of his supporters.

Haven't ya'll learned to look in the mirror yet. Attitudes like this are what created Trump. So you have no one to blame but yourself..... A great many voted for him (an adult baby as you called him) just so they wouldn't have to listen to the greater amount of babies on the left......

Guess only he can lie - and, when he does, everyone else is expected to bow down. I think he's mentally deranged.
cnn, msnbc are propaganda machines not free media.


they deserve to suffer the consequences of their decision to abandon the people, hopefully by loss of viewership. then again if profit was in play, msnbc would have been long gone, long ago. Maybe the owner was taking a tax write off by subsisdizing his own media as a political donation.


did trump say you can keep your doctor?
did trump say there were shovel ready jobs?
did trump say AQ was on the run and ISIs is the jv team?
did trump say the world is a more tranquil place?
did trump say it was because of a video?
did trump give an ultimatim to syria about crossing a red line and do nothing?
did trump say the affordable care act would be affordable?
did trump say he was under sniper fire?
did trump whisper in medvedev;s ear to tell putin he'd have more latitude after the elction?
did trump contradict mitt sayiong russia was not an enemy?


and finally did CNN or msnbc ever challenge obama on his lies?????

Won't matter. Most people no longer trust the press. 68% don't, as a matter of fact. The press has rendered themselves irrelevant.

I am not a media fan and have not been for a while, long before Trump was elected.

Why would comments made on Twitter be immune from being commented on?

The media is all over his Twittering where he cries about the unfairness of Hamilton crew, and how a there needs to be a "safe place".

Were the poor little snowflakes in the MSM offended that someone finally called them out? After a year of hack reporting and hatchet jobs on Trump, his policies and his supporters?

Awwwh, poor babies. Trump should have supplied a yuge box of tissues for that meeting. Not to mention a big box of pacifiers.


Quote:
“The meeting took place in a big boardroom and there were about 30 or 40 people, including the big news anchors from all the networks,” the other source said.

“Trump kept saying, ‘We’re in a room of liars, the deceitful, dishonest media who got it all wrong.’ He addressed everyone in the room, calling the media dishonest, deceitful liars. He called out Jeff Zucker by name and said everyone at CNN was a liar, and CNN was [a] network of liars,” the source said.
It's good to see someone actually call out the MSM, particularly CNN. Granted, today they are basically irrelevant, but they were among the first to ditch journalism and resort to far-left blogging and opinion pieces and passing it off as news. Grow up children, you brought this on yourselves.

It takes courage to openly confront the press. Who knows what was really said? It is is obvious that all through the campaign Trump was on one side and Hillary and the press were on the other. It was plain for all to see on election night as the reporters got sadder and glummer as the night went on. Their party was ending.

No one complained about Hillary never giving interviews. Or about President Obama's lack of press conferences. These get acknowledged but never criticized.

Trump is not yet President. The reflectiveness of 3 AM on November 9th is gone, scarcely remembered. The press is 100% back in pre-election mode, never missing an opportunity to attack Trump or make one up when there isn't.
