NYT’s Rutenberg Bewails ‘Outgunned’ Media in Trump Age, Throws in Castro Comparison
NewsBusters ^ | January 13, 2017 | Clay Waters

media reporter Jim Rutenberg documented the latest go-round of Trump vs. the mainstream media, which Rutenberg claimed were “Outgunned, Outmaneuvered and in Need of a Game Plan.”

Well, that sure escalated quickly.

“That” was Donald J. Trump’s inaugural news conference as a duly elected United States president-to-be, in which he called BuzzFeed a “failing pile of garbage,” dismissed CNN as “fake news” and more or less told the whole lot of reporters at Trump Tower to stuff it when it comes to his unreleased tax returns because everyday Americans don’t care and, anyway, “I won.”

We don’t miss the “old gotcha” press conferences with the whining and lying liberals attacking our president. Mediots lying and telling us what to believe and how to vote!

Official Washington is being traumatized by the tweets of Donald Trump.

Politico has chronicled the pearl clutching concern by the inside the beltway types over Trump's tweets. It seems Trump speaking directly to the people via Twitter is causing a crisis among politicians and lobbyists, who just don't know how to handle it as reflected in the article title, Trump’s Twitter feed traumatizes Washington.

Trump said “I won.’. Obama said “We one.” One of the few times out of thousands he didn’t use the pronoun “I”.

We don't care about his tax returns, he did win - and he isn't being referred to as "The Won" by his supporters.

NYSlimes and WaaaaaaPo, along with Buzzfeed and others, are going to hurt themselves with all this flailing.

Ann Coulter was right. Vote for Trump and watch the media and the rest of the Liberal establishment’ (the establishment)heads explode. A freeper pointed out the Liberal media types of youtube banned Legal Insurrection out of a temper trantrum. This time the lib/commie democrats are going to be the stupid party. They will double down on hating white people (except themselves, that is); calling for the death of the President Elect; raping the President Elect’s wife; etc. And people will be rightfully disgusted by the Liberal establishment’s (the establishment) actions.

Love the cartoons! Thanks.
This is a parallel in history to the Reformation of the 1500s when the Gutenberg press made it possible for Luther and other reformers to spread their writings across Europe. The speed of the new printing press enabled information to flow much more freely than hand-copying of the Bible and religious documents such as the Ninety Five Theses. The Pope tried to censor these books and pamphlets, but to no avail because the ponderous Catholic Church was no match for the speedy new technology. This brought down the establishment in both religion and politics.

We are living in historic times. We must not waste this golden opportunity to shake free from the established patterns of power. Or as Pres. Elect Trump says, “Drain the swamp!” MAGA!

Trump beating the establishment media may have been the most important part of his election.

Actually, the media came to a battle of wits totally unarmed.

... the mainstream media, which Rutenberg claimed were “Outgunned, Outmaneuvered and in Need of a Game Plan.”

Game Plan!!! Game Plan for what .... how to get fake-news over?? ... how to undermine Christians & Conservatives?? .... how to support and defend the Democrat party and demonize Republicans??

Hey lame stream media, let me give you a clue. They is no weapon formed that can overcome Truth. Just ask Paul Joseph Goebbels.

My anti-Christian, anti-Conservative NYT and similar ilk - let me give you a clue. Provide Americans with open, honest, balanced, non-politicized news and you may, just may - gain a modicum of respect and credibility.

It's doubtful that our politicized news media will amend their ways, so, seeing the NYT, CNN and all other democrat tools go bankrupt and/or seeing their CEO and hosts in prison for libel and slander would serve a better purpose in that it would provide a great lesson for future generations.

Wasn’t it Rutenberg who piously intoned that the media had to abandon even the pretense of objectivity in their reporting because Trump was so dangerous?

Uh, the game plan should be to do your job and provide unbiased news, not Leftist/Dem propaganda. Though,I know that would never occur to them since they are so corrupt and delusional that they think that is what they are doing.
