President Donald Trump's press conference on Thursday was the "harshest and most sustained attack on the media by a president of the United States in history," according to Howard Kurtz.

During the question-and-answer session, Trump repeatedly criticized CNN and tussled with its reporter, Jim Acosta, and was terse with MSNBC correspondent Kristen Welker.

"You couldn't turn away," Kurtz said on "Special Report" tonight.

They are eager participants in the destruction of our free republic and the installation of the fascist police state. They need to suffer the same fate as every other seditionist.

Can we please have Ann Coulter and Milo Yiannopoulos as celebrity guest press secretaries? One or two days per month would be enough. Ann and Milo would grill the propagandists for America’s amusement.

Trump ran the table against the media today. I don’t know how you could characterize it otherwise.

It was a beatdown of epic proportions. It's all talk radio has been discussing all day. It's almost midnight here, and they're still talking about it, and playing extended clips of the presser.

I had to shuffle my business appointments today, because I couldn't tear myself away while it was going on live. I felt like I was listening to history unfold.

These press people all have their little feelings hurt because we finally have a president that exposes their constant lies. They don’t like being called out. I love it.

Trump is like a street fighter. He may have had money growing up but he adopted the brawler mentality of his forebears probably.

That is not historically accurate. Look at the things Andrew Jackson said about the media, especially after the death of his wife.

Great gif, just fantastic. Almost makes me want to get a baby raccoon and raise it. I think the dog might get a little jealous though.

More like the most intense defense by a President, during the most sustained set of false attacks, since the LSM started going to war with conservatives.

I thought it was mild. He pulled his punches. President Trump could have made them cry:)
