Specifically, the argment with the CNN reporter.  The reporter was insisting that Trump would answer his question and Trump kept telling him no, as he called on another reported.  But undaunted, the CNN reporte kept insisting.  I have alway thought that if I held the press conference, I get to call on whomever I want to ask questions.  In this case, the press conference was being held by the President-elect.  It reinforces to me that the media is out of control.  It appears to me that they believe they are in charge, they willl tell people what they want to them know, and when the truth does not connect with their personal belief, they will make something up.  There is no respect, no integrity, or concern with the truth.

I saw it and it was wonderful. When it was happening I didn't know exactly who it was but knew it was one of the MSM because they were on the front row. I guessed NBC or CNN. Of course it turned out to be CNN. I loved it when he told them they are fake news. I suspect week after next there will be some major changes in the press room at the WH. The resulting coniptions will be fun to watch. I wish Laura Ingram had gotten the press secretary position. That would be entertainment worth paying for.

I got a text from #2 sister yesterday during the Sessions hearing and she said he was making Alabama proud. Booker and the others that spoke against him today did nothing but embarrassed themselves and prove once again they have zero integrity.

I don't know what Cory Booker has in mind, but I can almost understand John Richards.  He lived through the civil rights era and I'm sure there is a lot of resentment.  I'm willing to let him have it.

Interesting comment from FOX:

“Though we at Fox News cannot confirm CNN’s report, it is our observation that its correspondents followed journalistic standards,” Smith said. “Neither they, nor any other journalists, should be subjected to belittling and delegitimizing by the president-elect of the United States.”

Trump acted like the leader of some 3rd world country that controls the press. It sounds iike the Right would like a government controlled press during the next 4 years.

If they shut the media down for a year, I wouldn't mind.  In fact, it would be a relief.

He has been dubbed super mayor because of all his "moments" as mayor that set him up as such a hero. He rushed into a burning building "with nothing but his bare hands" and saved a woman's life, he happened up on a dog left outside in freezing weather and saved its life, he stopped at an accident scene on the freeway and saved another, he took a snow shovel and cleared a little old ladies driveway during a blizzard, and of  ourselves let's not forget he actually forced himself to live on food stamps for a week. The list just keeps going. Funny thing is the media is always around to capture these events. I understand as mayor he has media around more than most but I don't know of media following any other mayor of a mid sized city 24/7 to always catch these heroic events.

As to the food stamp stunt that program is named Snap or Supplemental Nutrional Assistance Program. Right there in the name it says supplemental, meaning it is designed to assist, not be the sole source of the bennificiaries food purchases. It is not designed nor funded to provide all the food needed for families. Personally I think his handlers went to far with this stunt and it will backfire on him. Especially since he is on record and videotape praising Sessions for his work in the civil rights arena. He should have no problem beating shrillary for the Democrat nomination in 2020, but moochelle will give him trouble.

yup them damn 3rd world leaders - that we can count Obama a part of.  I think I would like a honest media, that is unbiased and willing to give me verifable facts without twists and turns to fit a agenda.  I would like a media that does not cry when one party looses over another.  I would like a media who does not get a tingle running up their leg in the presence of someone.  honest, unbiased, truthful those are what I would love to see.

Would love to see a law that media must print retractions on page 1 above the fold.

Agree.  Thought the same thing when Rubio jumped in the middle of the SOS nominee.

Booker is a stooge and may be helping himself to the dem nomination in 2020 but the one that really ticks me off in Rubio. I'm from Forida and he will neverr get my vote for higher office. I thought he was the real deal but he has proven himmself to be just another political opportunist.
