President-elect Donald Trump held his first press conference since winning the November election on Wednesday at Trump Tower, and boy it did not disappoint. Trump bemoaned the lack of honest reporters in today's culture, particularly after a new report from BuzzFeed that suggested Russia had incriminating information on him. The piece was uncorroborated. It was rumored CNN also published the report, but Jake Tapper pushed back at that claim after the press conference.
Trump took out his frustration on the media in the room.
BuzzFeed, Trump said matter-of-factly at the presser, is "a failing pile of garbage," while also criticizing CNN.

"Since you're attacking us are you going to allow us a question?" CNN reporter Jim Acosta shouted.
“I’m not going to give you a question," he said. "You are fake news.”
The audience awarded Trump with applause.
Tapper said he can understand why Trump would be frustrated with the shoddy reporting of BuzzFeed, but lamented how he treated his coworker.

This is a great response.
The other networks are fake news, too.
Best election ever.
My promise to all: I am gonna read every one of these dupe posts, not complain about the dupes, and LAUGH EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Acosta just signed his own career death warrant!
Trump is right again. He’s got their number.
Donald Trump should hand out press credentials to Buzzfeed. But NOT CNN.
At least Buzzfeed is open and honest in the anti-Trump agendas.
Jake TApper should have called out Brian Setzer for his crap reporting last night. That would have gone a long way in returning credibility to Jake.
She’s HAWT, can I ask her out? :)
Brian Setzer? The lead guitar for the stray cats?
Seems there is a serious question of Acosta's temperament, his utter lack of decorum. Pulling his White House press creditials would be a fair action at this time.
CNN signed their death verticals also. Watch CNN lose their press passes and access to all government buildings and agencies in 9 days.
I wonder what Meghan Kelly thought of all of this.
Now that she is the queen barnacle of the SS CNN.
Priceless.
Finally someone stands up to the Fake News Media.
She went to NBC.
President Elect Trump! You gave an awesome press conference! The clowns had this fake spook story for almost a year and the media could NOT verify it! So the cultural marxists in both parties and a select few media decided to attempt to ruin President Elect’s inaugural by putting it out there. They got exactly what they deserve and they need to be shunned! No professionalism at CNN, MSN and Buzzfeed!
The man has balls.... Big brass ones. Something that John McCain does not have as he try’s to discredit Trump.
