Donald Trump is meeting with his harshest critics Monday and the people who arguably got him elected ... the media. Sources in Trump's camp tell us ... he's meeting with all the network heads Monday at 1 PM ET, and Trump will not hold back. We're told he wants to talk to them about how they got it so wrong during the campaign. TV execs will show up today, and Tuesday he'll do the same with the NY Times execs and others. Trump's end game for the meeting is unclear, but we're told crow will be served.

So the latest round of sheer nuttiness from the mainstream media? The idea that President-elect Trump intends to resurrect the infamous and quite decidedly racist “internment camps” established for Japanese-American citizens in 1942. How did this start? It started last week on FNC’s The Kelly File during a segment with Trump surrogate and former Navy Seal Carl Higbie (whom I know). Kelly cited this story from Reuters: “Immigration hardliner says Trump preparing plans for wall, mulling Muslim registry” The story goes on to say that Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach informs Trump advisers “had discussed drafting a proposal for...

Author and talk-show host Laura Ingraham is being considered for White House press secretary. On Fox News Sunday, Ingraham demonstrated she was more than ready to come to the emerging administration's defense. After Fox analyst Juan Williams claimed Trump was nominating a "team of radicals," singling out Sen. Jeff Sessions and Gen. Mike Flynn -- something no liberal journalist said about Obama's Cabinet picks like Eric "Nation of Cowards" Holder and HHS secretary Kathleen Sebelius -- Ingraham took out a rhetorical hammer: Ingraham Decimates Juan Williams on 'Team of Radicals' ChargeINGRAHAM: Well, there was a lot said by Juan. But...

The notion that Donald Trump was elected president of the United States because of fake news stories going viral is something the liberal media, and CNN’s Brian Stelter in particular, have been harping on for a while now. It was nagging Stelter so much that he dedicated a monologue to it during “Reliable Sources” on Sunday. “Now, to be clear, fake news infects the left and the right,” he noted at one point, “but the evidence indicates this is more of a problem on the right, among some, not all, but some Trump supporters.” He said that researchers needed to...

Donald Trump graciously Supplies Tent, Heater and Hot Soup to members of the Press Camped outside his New Jersey Golf Club where he is meeting prospective members of his Government (11-20-16)

ABC News for years has been running a segment called MADE IN AMERICA. It aired once a week and highlights American companies making products to encourage viewers to buy American. For some reason, the page has no content on it: http://abcnews.go.com/WN/MadeInAmerica At what point did #FAKENEWS realize that highlighting the importance of making products in the U.S. might help Trump? Here they are admitting the importance of American manufacturing on another page: http://abcnews.go.com/WN/MadeInAmerica/mailform?id=13323635 Made in America has tackled everything from swimwear and houses to building supplies and presidential candidates. Many of these ideas have come from you. What are your...

SACRAMENTO — Rapper Kanye West stormed off stage Saturday after showing up over an hour late, only playing three songs and going on a 20-minute rant at the Golden 1 Center.

When Hillary Clinton invoked her oft-repeated “basket of deplorables” line, the word “deplorable” appeared everywhere on Twitter to be worn with pride—like a badge of honor. Seemingly, through those efforts, big media outlets created a formidable, anonymous enemy. Groups like the SPLC have derided the so-called “alt-right” (and Pepe the Frog) as racist. One day our grandchildren will ask us about The Great Meme War and of the heroes who took part. pic.twitter.com/D14ZjLeEgt — Deplorable Guy (@captainjack052) November 11, 2016 “The mainstream media has been staunchly anti-Trump from his announcement, and if you think they’ll back down now then you’re...

Ads don’t work, polls don’t work, celebrities don’t work, media endorsements don’t work and ground games don’t work. The media turned itself into the opposition and, accordingly, was voted down as the new political reality emerged: Ads don’t work, polls don’t work, celebrities don’t work, media endorsements don’t work, ground games don’t work. Not only did the media get almost everything about this presidential election wrong, but it became the central issue, or the stand-in for all those issues, that the great new American Trump Party voted against. The transmutation of political identities has arguably devolved into two parties: the...

ABC News’ Martha Raddatz was a presidential debate moderator, so she’s supposed to be neutral, but that didn’t stop her from appearing to get choked up on live TV when discussing Donald Trump winning the election on Tuesday night.

An Australian perspective on US election coverage - Our media look like fools, the Australian Foreign Ministry had to get Donald Trump's phone number from Greg Norman (so much for the efficiency of Echelon) and there's a swamp in Canberra that needs draining too.

Friday, November 18, 2016 You Are Being Lied To Posted by Daniel Greenfield Media schizophrenia. Every quantum leap in mass communications also made possible a vast improvement in propaganda techniques. Nazi and Soviet propaganda looks as crude to us as a Babbage calculating machine. Virtual reality isn't something that's coming. It's here. It's been here for a while. The potent combination of media budgets and crowdsourced social media distribution has allowed for a previously unparalleled level of propaganda that creates and inhabits its own virtual reality. There's a name for that sort of thing. Schizophrenia. What happens when the schizophrenic...

Members of the mainstream media still are having a hard time understanding that the old days in which they could get away with pretending to be journalists, not propagandists, are fading into memory.  Donald Trump called their bluff, Wikileaks exposed the level of conspiracy between Democrat leaders and journalists propagandists, and the American people confounded the media and supported Trump and Republicans down the ticket. Nobody is taking better advantage of the new relationship between journalists propagandists and the voting public than Tucker Carlson. I have to say that I am highly impressed with the way he is taking...

The film crew for CBS 60 Minutes went to Sweden to capture footage and interviews of migrants being peaceful to contrast them from the violent ones causing riots. Right after the police left, however, one of the film crew was punched in the face by a refugee.

Supporters on Facebook blast 'liberal' media for ouster. A firefight of words has erupted in Houston after a Fox affiliate fired a TV reporter for expressing her support for President-elect Donald Trump on her personal social media. Her critics are blasting her, and the Houston Chronicle suggested there was some element of racism. But Scarlett Fakhar, 25, KRIV-TV in Houston also has her supporters. “I for one will not be watching Fox 26 any longer,” wrote Steve Woodruff on her Facebook page. “Their bias is more than obvious. You have our full support & here’s hoping for bigger things for...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: I meant to talk about all this fascination with all the fake news out there, the fake news on Facebook and the left now trying to blame their defeat on the fact there was so much fake news out there. You guys have it all wrong. I don't know what was going on. I started calling Facebook "Fakebook" many moons ago. The fake news is the New York Times. The fake news is NBC. The fake news is CBS. The fake news is CNN. The fake news is the Washington Post. The fake news is the LA...

Are they trying to get Trump assassinated??

The media attack against Trump and all things Trump-related continues apace, eager to seize on anything to paint him (or his family or his advisors) in a bad light. And so, a piece at Yahoo News made an issue of a dress that Melania Trump recently wore. The headline read: “Melania Trump Wore a $1,655 Fiery Red Dress for 60 Minutes Interview.”

Left-wing news media, from desiccated dowagers like the New York Times to strumpets like Salon and the Huffington Post, are dead and don't know it. They only see what they want to see. People who recently thought themselves so powerful – Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi; the list is very, very long – are walking around like regular people, but their existence is over. So many are dead and don't know it. They were murdered by their own hypocrisy. They claimed to be publishing the truth, but they offered only the half-truth of blind dogma. They claimed...
