NEW YORK (AP) — A shouting match with a reporter. A long unexplained prop. An unexpected interlude from a lawyer.

Donald Trump's raucous first news conference as president-elect bore little resemblance to the usually staid and choreographed sessions with the occupant of the Oval Office. It was a 58-minute display of how some of the old rules of journalism will be tested in the Trump era.

Eight years... Yes!

I like the sound of that! :)

Totally unrelated, and I don’t know if your tagline is related to Toy Story, but when the first one came out, my son was around four. He and his best friend each had a toy they got for Christmas. My son got a Buzz Lightyear, and his little friend got a Woody.

I brought him over to their house to play, and his friend said, “If you show me your Buzz, I’ll show you my Woody!”

His mom and I looked at each other and cracked up. ;)

Exactly what is needed to deal with the enemedia.

I take this as a signal from Trump that we should all treat the lying propagandists in a similar manner.

Breitbart has got to be smiling down at this with the only saved seat was for his organization. Hope it continues that way

[bob_esb]

you should have just seen him on the Erin Burnett show on Cnn. he was taking a victory lap for being an ass.

CNN is so anti-Trump it is amazing

Good. I’m glad it turned combative. I’m sick of spineless twits. The media needs to be defanged.

He has basically defanged them and let them know he won't be held hostage to their crap. He has also unmasked them so the People know he's right, whether they like him or not.

Yeah, like can you a-holes actually report NEWS for once.

[Lazamataz]

This story is written in such a way as to imply that CNN is defending the accusations against Trump. The implication is that it is Trump rather than CNN/Buzzfeed that is lying.

You expected otherwise?
