    So Fox News says the media was trying to destroy Trump and Fox News says Obama is a secret Muslim with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. Your take away from that is that Fox News is news and CNN is fake news. And... that's why you're dumb.

    Interrupting is one of my top worst pet peeves. I would have had that jackass reporter thrown out for running his mouth like he was. Doesn't matter which news organization he was from.

    If the networks refuse to show up in the press pool till he includes them all, he'll have to bow to that pressure just like Obama did. Also, I'm not just talking about normal press conferences here, I'm talking about the networks not assigning people to the white house press corps. That would be a major blow to the administration.

    Also, to show how unified the media really can be, you had the Huffington Post siding with Fox News against Obama at one point.....when it really comes down to it, those guys have each other's back.

    FOX/CNN/MSNBC/AllCableNews... are not news organizations anymore. They are pure entertainment and shouldn't even have credentials to serious news conferences. Stick with traditional bluechips like NYT, etc... who still have a grasp on responsible, ethical, journalism.

    I am guessing you have never watched or attended a live news conference before. And laughable... you wouldn't mind if it was someone from Fox news or the Washington Examiner.

    Well, they certainly helped him in the primaries of that there is no doubt. They (like everyone else here including me) thought Clinton would crush him. Once the general election was held, they turned on Trump. But by that time it was too late. They certainly did help to (unintentionally) create the monster.

    MAYBE if CNN had not been so in the tank for Dems they had covered Trump correctly in the primaries he could have been stopped then and there. It probably would have been President Rubio, or President Cruz or President Kasich. Nope. This is the definition of "blowback". Reap the whirlwind CNN.

    No, I have never attended a live news conference. What does it matter. Interrupting is interrupting.
    Maybe you didn't understand when I said it doesn't matter which news organization he was from.

    If you would have attended any live press conference, reporters shout over the speaker and other reporters continually. Those with the loudest, most persistent get called on more often. Reporters will also persist if they believe the speaker is ducking the question. Its not polite, but its how its done.

    Second, as a right wing supporter of Trump, I doubt you would complain if the Fox reporter was loud and persistent. Since Fox reporters will do the same thing, and you've never complained before.

    Love how republicans and right wingers are trying to pass off responsibility for voting for Trump. How many primaries did Trump win? yea, Democrats fault. And the media. Riiiigghhht.

    He doesn't owe them ****. They painted him badly throughout. It's more like he took advantage of them and are now killing them off now that they're not anymore of use.

    I know what they do. Why do you think I don't watch them. However, I would still think it is an asshat move whichever news organization it came from. I'm outright telling you it is a pet peeve. My life does not revolve around politics or party lines. I've never complained before because I haven't seen it before. I typically avoid press conferences.

    here in europe, cnn intl is basically the only american news channel available. but since election day, literally 23.5 hours/day all they broadcast is "trump is satan" in one form or another. it's like nothing else has happened in the world the past few months. they talk about trump all day everyday. so i have to watch the shills on cnbc now if i want to watch anything american. skynews or bbc for something at least in english
