Trump shuts down NBC News reporter: ‘I think you’re so discredited’
NY Post ^ | 03/18/2025 | Taylor Herzlich

President Trump refused to take a question from an NBC News reporter, slamming the broadcast network as “discredited.”

The president answered questions from a gaggle of journalists during a visit to the Kennedy Center on Monday – but stopped short when one reporter jumped in with a question.

After Trump asked the reporter to identify their press outlet, they replied: “Sir, I’m with NBC News.”

“I don’t want to talk to NBC anymore,” Trump said with a wave of his hand. “I think you’re so discredited.”

NBC News did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.

Trump’s bad blood with Comcast, which owns NBC News and MSNBC, goes back years.

In 2023, during his presidential campaign, he threatened to sue Comcast once he was back in the White House over NBC News’ and MSNBC’s allegedly unfair coverage of him.

His attacks on the left-leaning sister channel have only ramped up, last month calling MSNBC a “THREAT TO OUR DEMOCRACY” and earlier questioning whether the outlet should “have a right to broadcast.”

During his conversation with reporters on Monday, the president, who recently crowned himself chairman of the storied Kennedy Center, said he plans to release 80,000 pages of JFK files on Tuesday.

“I don’t want to talk to NBC anymore,” Trump said with a wave of his hand. “I think you’re so discredited.”

Someday Trump may blurt out “I will never again talk to news people who are idiots.”

Headline will then be “Trump Cuts Off All Interviews And Press conferences.”

It tickles me to see a left-leaning propaganda organ a “THREAT TO OUR DEMOCRACY”.

It’s too bad since NBC was his television home.

President Trump was a bit wrong here when he said, ‘I think you’re so discredited’.

It's not just a thought that NBC is discredited - they are discredited.

Looks like the JFK files may be released about the same time the Jeffrey Epstein data is released.

"Did he say which Tuesday?"

It's the same Tuesday that this guy is going to pay for his hamburger.

If that’s actually the headline — it would be one of the few pieces of accurate legacy media journalism in the last 10 years

Flash breaking news. The JFK files and Epstein files were being carried in a Cybertruck which was ambushed by woke protesters who set fire to it and it exploded in flames. Everything was destroyed. Protesters were not injured.

Also contained in the truck were the Seth Rich files, The Vince Foster files, the Flight 800 files, and the Wuhan lab files!
