    " he also left no doubt about who's in charge of these negotiations. "I won," Obama noted matter-of-factly, according to sources familiar with the conversation.

    He hasn't delivered anything but bluster and bellow.

    He isn't responsible for a single job.

    But the knuckle draggers are stupid enough to think that Twitstorms are a substitute for reality.

    Power must be maintained by the ordained few while the rest of us roll around in the mud.

    If we're not all poor, how are they supposed to buy that 2nd yacht?

    What a joke. The American people think the press is a pile of (*)(*)(*)(*). They have no pull anymore. Only Liberals believe them and those people have been pushed aside for being whack jobs.

    They sound pretty confident in their threatening letter that they're going to get the story anyway, so Trump should let them. If it makes it twice as hard for them to do their job of pushing the progressive agenda and helping out Team Democrat, that's still a win for our side.

    That isn't true.

    But George W Bush's campaigns did do that, screening questioners and requiring pre screened (usually staged) questions.

    I imagine that Trump will try that trick, at the rate he's going. it will be transparantly fake and dishonest.

    But then, what else is new?

    He has had one press conference in the last 160 days, and he had a meltdown during that, shouting down the press.

    You're right. First Trump took away all of Hillary's power of pay to play and put her out of business and now he's done the same to the DNC controlled MSM. What a guy.

    Don rightly told the "fake news" reporter to "Shut up", I didn't see any meltdown..:)
    PS- Don sarcastically said to a reporter from British BBCTV "That's another beaut!" because he knows the BBC is also lefty, fake and morally corrupt, proving he keeps his finger on the pulse of what's going on in other countries, what a man..:)

    So the "press corps" sent an attack letter to Trump with lamenting, raging and threats to confirm they don't even pretend to be non-bias. :roll:

    Fake news! Anything that makes the Trump look like the fool he is is fake news!

    Even though CNN clearly said the pee and hookers party was unsubstantiated, how dare they report that an intelligence dossier was floating around .

    So fake. Real things that make Trump look bad are fake.

    Never question the Trump.He is always right and righteous. He will inform the masses what they need to know and never seek more.

    Wonderful. You've turned the future of this country into something akin to a sporting match by rooting for a petulant, narcissistic, foul mouthed racist and womanizing President. Good luck to this country. It will need it.

    That's OK. When all you have is this sort of adolescent babble, I know I've made my point.

    Six months from now, you're going to have to bellow a lot harder than that for anyone to pay attention to.

    But that time Trump will have gone from being a national joke to a national tragedy.

    Maybe wait until he's actually president and starts doing things before judging? Or, TRUMP ALL BAD, OBAMA ALL GOOD, is just what you're going with?

    Yes, this is the US and not Russia, which means MSM should not be serving the interests of the status quo established gov't which it does in Russia. And this is exactly what MSM is doing, instead of speaking truth to power and being a watch dog on our gov't.

    Journalism in the MSM is dead, it no longer exists. It looks like Russia, if not worse. Anyone with intellectual integrity, which is impossible in a partisan, would have seen this with no problem over the last two years leading up to this election.

    What bothers me the most is that there is little intellectual integrity in much of the voters on the dem side and little of it in MSM. If you lose an election, it is as if this integrity is gone. MSM lost this election. Some even admitted they were setting journalism aside(as if they ever practiced it) and work to beat trump, due to their perceived danger of the man, which was partisan nonsense.

    MSM are responsible, for being irresponsible, for not being journalists, and for being the mouthpieces of this oligarchy. When the Princeton Study was published, they went into basically a blackout out a huge and consequential news story that showed we are not a republic but a fascist oligarchy. The CIA perhaps told them to not cover it. They are still in blackout with ambassador murray who knows the insider in DC who supplied the wilkileaks emails. Journalism? NOPE. State propaganda? YEP. Just like the old USSR and communist china.

    The country will be just fine. Unlike the current President, Trump actually likes this country and isn't trying to sabotage it to advance his communist father's wishes for revenge against the West .

    And this is the best part. Kyle seems to think that he's (and the rest of traditional media) are still relevant in that way because he sees the President as dependent on his distribution network to put his message out. Guess what Kyle. He isn't. If you hadn't been paying attention. I'll um it up in less than 173 characters....

    The unfortunate truth is that political writers are dependent on the politicians, and their willingness to engage with political press to support the economics of being able to sell advertising which of course keeps publications and media around. Absent content, ad buys and rates fall. Just ask the NYTs, or the WAPO.

    The revelation is the recognition of the press that they have overplayed their hand and are now scrambling because they see and recognize the tenuous nature of their future existence. Who needs information middlemen anyways?

    Of course, you conveniently failed to note that this particular press conference was in Italy and the staffs of both heads of state made that arrangement in advance. You also failed to support your claim that the questions were pre screened.

    Try again.

    Cable News (FOX, MSNBC and CNN) is watched by approximately 6% of voters if all their viewers are added up. Only political partisan junkies watch rage-cable news.

    Sorry but your side lost. No nuclear war with Russia for at least 4 years. But in 4 years your side can against try to get back your 1950s Cold War.
