Trump calls meeting with media honchos . . . and hands them their heads

Excellent

It’s tough times for the news media. Not only are they struggling in their business models, but the election of Donald Trump wasn’t just a rejection of Hillary Clinton - although it was certainly that. It was a rejection of them too, as they spent the entire campaign not so much reporting as instructing the American people what to do when they went to the polls.

The people responded with an instruction of their own.

Kellyanne Conway says it didn’t happen that way.

Good. The media are the most subversive force in the country, and need to be handed their a$$e$.

Is he also giving the cold shoulder to Fox News?

I was under the impression that either option necessitated the other, given the standard media posture.

I thought she said that the guy who broke the off-the-record promise and made the claim didn't speak accurately. He lied but that doesn't necessarily mean thy didn't get their asses handed to them with their heads deeply ensconced....

He’s clearly not GWB, not going to take it lying down. Fine. But how many people were listening to the msm anyway?

I don’t have a tv. I don’t get the newspaper or check it daily online. I get by somehow.

I think the media is greatly exaggerating this incident because Trump criticized them, and they won’t sit still for ANY criticism.

So... they hold an “off the record” meeting, then tell everyone what went on?

Still lying liars ...
