During President-elect Donald Trump’s press conference today, Trump took aim at “fake news” regarding the release of an unverified dossier by Buzzfeed, calling them a “failing piece of garbage.” Following that, he ended up getting into an argument with a CNN reporter, who he also called out during the presser over their report on a two-page synopsis they claim was presented to Trump.

With Trump looking to call on other reporters, Jim Acosta yelled out, “Since you are attacking us, can you give us a question?”

“Not you,” Trump said. “Your organization is terrible!”

Listening to the incessant bleating from the cnn clown was wasting everyone’s time. Just STFU!! He isn’t impressing anyone and annoying everyone (judging from the scattered applause from the other press guys).

Not ONLY was he not getting the question but he was downright rude. Acosta was yelling over everyone, yelling over who Trump picked, and yelling over Trump. Compare and contrast how Trump handles being interrupted versus Obama. Obama melts in to a quivering idiot stuttering like Porky Pig. Obama loses his place on the teleprompter and forgets his carefully memorized message. Trump just shut Acosta down and went right back to the presser.

So it's fake news about fake news.

It's gotten, even here on FR, if the source NYT, CNN, WaPo, etc., I just skip it. These outlets are so discredited there are worse than worthless. There's really no point in reading even the headlines. We know they are all misleading, lying, biased and ignore true news.

As an early and aggressive Cruz supporter, I’m asking myself what was I thinking. Only “The Donald” could pound CNN and the media into dust like he did today - that I can tell you.

I can’t wait to see how Trump’s first 100 days roll out - bigly.

It wasn’t a shouting match. The CNN guy was being a noisy boor and Trump was trying to move on. Trump was quite patient, telling him not to be rude.

Gee. I thought the CNN guy sounded (not surprisingly) like a protestor ;o)
