Steve Bannon Torches New York Times: ‘You Have No Power’
Breitbart.com ^ | 26 Jan 2017 | by BREITBART NEWS

Posted on 01/26/2017 3:18:52 PM PST by Resettozero

...Steve Bannon — former Executive Chairman to Breitbart News — tells the New York Times’ Michael Grynbaum that the “elite media” has “no authority” to report on what the American people want out of newly-inaugurated President Donald Trump.

From the New York Times:

Stephen K. Bannon, President Trump’s chief White House strategist, laced into the American press during an interview on Wednesday evening, arguing that news organizations had been “humiliated” by an election outcome few anticipated, and repeatedly describing the media as “the opposition party” of the current administration.

“The media should be embarrassed and humiliated and keep its mouth shut and just listen for awhile,” Mr. Bannon said during a telephone call.

“I want you to quote this,” Mr. Bannon added. “The media here is the opposition party. They don’t understand this country. They still do not understand why Donald Trump is the president of the United States.”

“The elite media got it dead wrong, 100 percent dead wrong,” Mr. Bannon said of the election, calling it “a humiliating defeat that they will never wash away, that will always be there.”

“The mainstream media has not fired or terminated anyone associated with following our campaign,” Mr. Bannon said. “Look at the Twitter feeds of those people: they were outright activists of the Clinton campaign.” (He did not name specific reporters or editors.)

“That’s why you have no power,” Mr. Bannon added. “You were humiliated.”

LOL

If folks don’t think they know it, they’re wrong.

They’ll try to bluster through, but they know Bannon is dead right here.

“the “elite media” has “no authority” to report on what the American people want out of newly-inaugurated President Donald Trump.”

In their current form, the media are DOMESTIC ENEMIES of the Republic. Including Hollywood media.

Someone should swear an oath against them.

They could take out an ad in “America’s Newspaper of Record.”

Wait until even more stories break on the collusive biased media cartel. I’m very confident something is coming down the road which is going to light them up but good.

Of course, the elite, privileged, upper income media hates President Trump. Mr. Bannon is after the ass of the MSM.
I think laws have been violated by the New York Times and tax laws ignored.

Carlos Slim will flush these scum shortly. Unlike Bezos at WaPo this is not a personal blog/hobby. He wants to make money or will cut his losses.
