President-elect Donald Trump holds a news conference, his first since winning the 2016 election.

IMO, the press has a responsibility to tell the truth. Not blatantly lie. If you fail to carry that out, just like we teach our children, lying has consequences

CNN you are dead. You just don’t know it yet, like a zombie.”

Awesome, nuclear smackdown of CNN!!!!

MAGA!!!

[LYDIAONTARIO]

Not since Donald Rumsfeld have I enjoyed a press conference more!

[Deo volente]

Yep, that’s what Trump called it.

[Caribou]

He got confirmed in 2015 by the dems so what are they to do when they have to confirm him for the VA. Pull a “booker”? LOL.

Also, Pres Elect Trump can fire him if he does not fix the VA.

[Windflier]

Trump is even better at it than Reagan was. Articulate - truthful, and doesn’t take any crap from the left-wing Press. Truly impressive.

I was very impressed by Trump's refusal to take a question from some azz-ole CNN reporter who was yelling over another reporter.

"No, your organization is fake news!"

[cyclotic]

Very good. I recall Rumsfeld was once asked a stupid question and he said “Stupid question. Next.”

NINE DAYS
EIGHT YEARS

[Windflier]

President Trump we will build the all and MEXICO WILL PAY FOR THE WALL

Note that he also made it clear that he doesn't want a mere fence, but an actual solid barrier wall.

Trump means business.

[ncalburt]

McCain courier the lies to the fbi personally .
keep up

[hoagy62]

Of COURSE they are...they are so steeped in liberal ideology that they have absolutely nothing to fall back on. It is all they know

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Turned it off after the Talking Heads started TELLING me what I heard, versus me KNOWING what I heard.

They’re never going to get it. *SHRUG*

[CodeToad]

“And if she’s still doing it, she’s still committing a crime, correct?”

Not that she is no longer SoS, however, this sets up Trump to come with clean hands and prosecute her for it.

He has set the example.

[Political Junkie Too]

This is the most fun since their anchors, Shaw...

I still say that the turning point in MSM coverage of Democrats/Republicans was when Bernard Shaw asked the "If Kitty Dukakis were raped..." question. That one question turned the electorate against Michael Dukakis because of his dispassionate reply.

The MSM learned their lesson. Never again did the MSM ask another question like that of Democrats.

Correct. The provision is not extended to the SOS.

[Caribou]

Maybe Jake can get his old gig at VH1 back.

[Windflier]

It’s all made up by Obama and Trump is continuing that imperial nonsense.

Oh, give the man a Mulligan. He's doing a phenomenal job.

CNN
a 4chan subsidiary

[gnickgnack2]

“Fake news” is the new, hip term to describe the intentional lowering of the signal to noise ratio by increasing the demoninator.

I really have no idea what you meant there, but on Jan 20 I hope to be witnessing a severe decreasing of the DEMONinator!
