    exactly, just like when the media reported on Weiner's emails "might" be related to Hillary..... oh but it is ok to report on it then

    what is sad, is republicans been creating fake bad news so long about dems, they think all news is fake about republicans

    Whats the difference between a garbanzo bean and a chickpea?

    Trump has never had a garbanzo bean on his face...

    Then it never should have been published. It is amazing how far you liberals will go to cover one of your own. CNN never should have published the article. Yet you find fault that President-elect Trump called them our about the story, and no statement condemning that they published it in the first place.

    In case you haven't heard, the group that manufactured the documents that the story was based on admits that it was completely fabricated. So, you can keep on posting your attacks on Trump.

    all of media is fake news for the kings and queens, so it is good that he yells at them for the sake of the peasants.

    fox news has not been offending President Trump since the election, so it is a false equivalency to say that President Trump would not yell at them too if they get out of order.

    Greatest Pres Conference Ever.

    Tread lightly in the White House Press Corps, it's no longer an easy ticket to media success.

    Lefties everywhere would be demanding that reporter be fired if he had done that to obama.

    Trump will answer questions. He just won't recognize a reporter whose company reports unsubstantiated stories. Hell he could get a reporter from another source to ask a question for him. Apparently the Canadian press is used to getting away without ethical standards. Surprised that doesn't bother you.

    The Participation Trophy generation believes they're entitled to disrupt the class and still be respected and adored....anything less might damage their precious self esteem.

    Trump made it clear he wasn't going to take his question and the clown kept screaming and interrupting, so Trump explained why he wasn't going to take his question.

    There were plenty of real news outlets there to ask questions, so Trump focused on them.

    And this is how the erosion and dismantling of the first amendment starts. He will not need to bring in legislation or armed guards - all he has to do is discredit anyone who speaks against him. Frog boiling until the only news agencies left operating are those who are favourable to him and his agenda

    Religion. namely, Leftism...specifically, the morally and intellectually 'superior' left's belief that they are entitled to say and do as they please with no repercussions.

    Same applies for any of the information about Hilary - very little of which was actually substantiated

    But what would you rather a free press or one that cannot publish because someone on the right does not like what might be in the news?

    It's not punishment, it's not wasting time with stupidity. No president has put up with that kind of thing.

    Then the "journalist" proceeds to act like an idiot, so he is rightfully told why no one is wasting time on him.

    If someone from Fox wanted to ask questions about bigfoot, that person would probably get ignored as well. "next".

    Trump has gaslighted reality: Only news sources like Breitbart are journalists, now. But every conservative has a serious date with reality, going back to the days of Reagan.

    Medieval thinking - it is all the fault of the Left (witches)

    And I thought saying what you please was what the first amendment was about?

    That's pretty clever, wow but a zombie that blindly follows its emperor would be called a liberal or Barry voter, Hillary voter, you get the point. Maybe not.

    LMAO. 1st amendment? I won't even bring up the word 'integrity', because liberals have no idea what it means. How about then simply, 'if you blatantly make stuff up, you don't get the privilege of asking a question at a Presidential press conference'? Or do you feel that the media should be able to make up any garbage they want, and the republican should just deal with it?

    LOL. You libs are imploding, and I love every second of it

    I remember a time when presidents were (rightfully) chastised for scolding the media... or at least that's what I recall on this very forum any time Obama made a swipe at Fox News, as an example. I believe the common response was "don't like it, don't run for president... this job requires thick skin". How far we've fallen.

    I disagree.This is the beginning of reintroducing professionalism and real journalism. The U.S media is the one that must be held accountable for their own actions. They have no right to go around smearing people and destroying lives without having credible and firm evidence for what they publish. As DJT, he's lucky enough to have the opportunity to fight back, unlike many who were destroyed by the media and were unable to defend their own point of view. Journalists are suppose to serve the public. They are not some sort of superstars who should be above the law. Many of them turned into political hacks, which is simply disgusting.

    You don't understand the 1st Amendment. you've the right to (mostly) say what you please, you've no right to be immune from repercussions.

    For proof, go tell your boss to go eff him/herself.

    Why not?

    It was a relevant story involving the president elect and some "news" outlet making a claim.

    Oh, justifies.

    Only news services that praise the president elect get to ask questions?
