He deemed BuzzFeed News “a failing pile of garbage,” mocked an inquiry about his tax returns — “Gee, I’ve never heard that one before” — and, in an unheard-of moment for a presidential news conference, shouted down questions from a CNN reporter, declaring, with some menace, “Not you.”
“Your organization is terrible,” said President-elect Donald J. Trump, his voice rising as Jim Acosta of CNN tried to interject. “No, I’m not going to give you a question. I’m not going to give you a question.”
“You,” the president-elect said, as Mr. Acosta and other stunned journalists looked on, “are fake news.”
Any hope that Mr. Trump would temper his attacks on the news media after the campaign seemed to dissipate in the marble atrium of Trump Tower on Wednesday, as the president-elect, holding his first news conference since July, turned a controversy over his ties to Russia into a deft and unrelenting attack on the journalists who reported it.

Sounds like Donald J. Trump is making the right moves.
He certainly has made the right enemies!
Whoever came up with the term “fake news” is hopefully kicking themselves in the ass right now. That one TOTALLY came back to bite them.
I did hear, when PE Trump wouldn’t allow the CNN reporter to ask a question, applause from the room.
Lars Larson uses the term “Fake Stream Media”. I love it.
And the NYT inserted a bit of fake news. CNN did the shouting not DJT.
It was EPIC. Finally we have a President with a set. Made CNN/media malingerers his bitches. #bestpressconferenceever
NYT is lying as usual: it was Acosta who was literally shouting; President Trump was very measured.
Kick their evil asses Mr. Trump.
Finally. Finally.
The CNN reporter was a boorish loudmouth.
The CNN reporter was a boorish loudmouth.

Speak for yourself, NYT. Neither I nor anyone I know had any such ‘hope’.
You and the rest of big media created this monster and it’s going to be a LOOOOONG 4 years for y’all - deal with it.
CNN, McCain and Clapper got the Golden Stream.
Oh, God, FINALLY we have a President with the kind of Take No Prisoners attitude I have always dreamed of! I love this guy!
They brought this all on themselves, it’s been brewing since Trump announced in 2015, Pres. Elect Trump does not fit into ‘their’ style, he never has and they know that...
Pres. Elect Trump has always been a ‘hard hitter’ and especially when he is lied to, misstated, or treated rudely, they know this, they have been covering his every move all his life, he’s a New Yorker and that is the way they are...
He won’t throw the first punch but if you say or do anything he thinks is not right, he will be the ‘Viper’ and when he bites he means it...
We, those of us that have watched him for years, know this, this is why we love him, he takes no crap and he is very honest and he will attack if provoked...if you want to be around this man, be honest and be fair, that’s all he’s asking...
“...costa of CNN tried to interject.”
To clarify: the cnn clown was interrupting and shouting at the new President, who did not tolerate his immature tantrum.
Sort of like, dufus wimp gets trounced by the true ALPHA Male.
It’s gonna be a goooooood ride!!!!
Yeah, the media was kissing his @$$ until he was rude to them.
The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat. Parent companies include Disney, Comcast, Time Warner.
Support objective, independent news sources!
And got his arse handed to him yahooo!
