Bwahahahaha.... proof positive that they lost control of the narrative.!

We don’t miss the “old gotcha” press conferences with the whining and lying liberal mediots telling us what to believe and how to vote!

Official Washington is being traumatized by the tweets of Donald Trump.

Politico has chronicled the pearl clutching concern by the inside the beltway types over Trump's tweets. It seems Trump speaking directly to the people via Twitter is causing a crisis among politicians and lobbyists, who just don't know how to handle it as reflected in the article title, Trump’s Twitter feed traumatizes Washington.

Start using WaPo.

“The speed with which the term became polarized and in fact a rhetorical weapon illustrates how efficient the conservative media machine has become,” said George Washington University professor Nikki Usher.

*Rolls eyes*

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Everything sleazy trick they try blows up in their faces.

That’s so sad.

[Wuli]

They thought they could own it, found out they can’t, so now they want to orphan it. Never let them, it’s theirs, we are glad to give it a forever home, without denying where it came from.

Bump for using at our DeploraBall

[proust]

Didn’t go the way they wanted, eh? Embrace the suck, libtards!

[353FMG]

WAPO = Fake News.

[Obadiah]

Perfect.

[Political Junkie Too]

As many Rush Limbaugh MSM montages suggest, "fake news" is proven every time the same word or phrase is used by ALL liberal news reporters on the same day.

Co-opted eh?

Yup. Let’s go back to calling these liars who really are: the LYING LEFTIST MEDIA.

Better yet, the LSM (Lying Socialist Media).

Hard to counter the charge when the e-mails that came to light show the extent of the collusion of the DEMs v. LSM (I repeat myself)

[Jim W N]

I’ll see you and raise you: Lying Government Media (LGM)

[Paladin2]

Too late.

The cat's out of the bag.

The toothpaste tube has been flattened.

The LSM has projected once too often.

[Rebelbase]

No. Not until the fake news meme that Russia hacked the election is retired.

[ManHunter]

I’ll bet he does! The “B” in “BS” also stands for Boomerang and it hit this dumbass between the friggin’ eyes!

[jiggyboy]

They never learn. “Fake, but accurate” came from The New York Times in their reporting of the Texas Air National Guard document hoax (which was not a hoax to them).

[Windflier]

Does the Washington Post also want to retire the phrases, ‘hacked election’, and ‘illegitimate president’, too?

Yeah....I thought not.

[Windflier]

I think we should begin referring to the mainstream press as the Fake Media.
