Thread: Donald Trump's media summit was a - firing squad'

Wow. If you read CNN's report of it, it comes across as a very benign meeting.

But a source in the room said there was "real progress" made with regards to media access to Trump and his administration.

A second participant affirmed this and said the journalists spoke with Trump about the importance of the "press pool," a small group of journalists that traditionally travels with the president.

Conway said the meeting was "very cordial, candid and honest."

I hope he bans CNN and every journalist who show favour to Democrats

The media need to be castigated

“Gayle did not stand up, but asked some question, ‘How do you propose we the media work with you?’ Chuck Todd asked some pretty pointed questions. David Muir asked how are you going to cope living in DC while your family is in NYC? It was a horrible meeting."

Amusingly, since the meeting was off the record, meaning the participants agreed not to talk about the substance of the conversations, it means they will most likely be unable to confirm or deny the Post's report.

It also means that if indeed Trump was as confrontational as reported, that the conventional war between the various US media organizations and Trump is about to go nuclear.

Well let's say the Post report is correct, I can see why CNN would say what they did because what he said to them is not very flattering. They're sure not going to print that about themselves. :)

Well, doesn't that prove the point? The media are liars. Who knew? One thing I'm going to like about Trump is that he won't take the media bias without calling them on it. They'll continue to deny it of course. But then, they ARE liars. (Some less so, others more so).

The media will always squeal like stuck pigs when he does call them out. Of course Obama called out FOX news by name all the time, but they were OK with that. You didn't hear them complaining about that. I hope Trump calls CNN out all the time like Obama did FOX. And always precede it with "Just like Obabma always called out FOX, now I'm going to call out CNN" just to remind them before he does it.
