Another sign of the times.

[Ishmael]

So Trump had a little chat with the Media Elite today. And they thought they were going to question him.

The Meeting.

This is going to be fascinating as to how it all shakes out. They've got the 'mouthpieces' but he controls the access.

After the Nazi Seizure of Power in 1933, Goebbels' Propaganda Ministry quickly gained and exerted controlling supervision over the news media, arts, and information in Germany.


...Just sayin'...

 

[Lancecastor]

I think the constant theatrics are going to get old quickly.

Presidente Nouveau.

Did he release his First 100 Days video online during the media "meeting".?

He's deliciously evil.

 

[Liar]

It's gonna be an interresting four years with President Butthurt.

Otoh, if he decides he don't need certain media and they can't suck up to power for access anymore, maybe they'll start doing some *gasp* journalism.

Sometimes you need to give the World a little shake, just to keep everyone guessing.

The media is probably going into full beast mode as we speak. Nobody in a position of power has ever held their feet to the fire before, and they're going to have a major temper tantrum. We ain't seen nuthin' yet.

We do have the first amendment firewall to prevent anyone muzzling the press, of forcing it to print only 'sanctioned' "news."

On the other hand Trump gets to decide who receives White House press credentials and the likes of the NYT, LAT, WaPo, among others, could well find themselves locked out of press conferences and trying to report "first hand news" from the Ellipse.

Of course they're going to go crying great big crocodile tears to their readers, but given the poll results concerning the public's opinion of the press, which is only slightly higher than whale shit, not very many are going to give a damn and more than a few are going to point and laugh.

Imagine having to watch Fox News to find out what's going on.

Drumpf will meltdown long before the collective media, dummy.

There's no guarantee that Fox won't find itself out in the cold as well. The only thing I think I can safely predict at this juncture is that Trump isn't going to be kissing the press's ass.

They've been in full beast mode for over a decade now...


And it has served them well and the party they fight for.

 

[Bookishleigh]

We won't have to rely on the media - Trump can't stay off Twitter.

So what. Their readership is dying off and their circulation is drying up...

Outside of the Liberal enclaves they live in they only send in foreign correspondents who are condescending schmucks looking for someone who can confirm their bias so they can write the story about the Neanderthal barbarian mouth breathers who live out their clinging to guns, bibles, control of their women and their beliefs in racial superiority...

I don't want to stay up until 3 in the morning.

And his model served his cause better then the press's model served their cause.

No need - even if/when he decides to delete it, someone will screen shot. They always do.

Boy, won't his followers be disappointed when they realize that not only will be Mexico not be paying for a wall but it won't be built either.

Who is Trump going to sue for his own tweets? At least with the press he could attempt to threaten them.

 

[neci]

The beginning...lol.

or the end.

or just a commercial break.

after a few minutes

we'll be right back
