President-elect Donald Trump’s relationship with the mainstream media remained cold throughout his presidential campaign. During their meeting Monday, the two sides standoff went from icy to full blown inferno, sources say, and Trump came out on top.
Trump gathered major media moguls from all the major networks and “scolded media big shots during an off-the-record Trump Tower sitdown on Monday,” The New York Post reported, quoting a source saying “It was like a f***ing firing squad.”
“The hour-long session included top execs from network and cable news channels. Among the attendees were NBC’s Deborah Turness, Lester Holt and Chuck Todd; ABC’s James Goldston, George Stephanopoulos, David Muir and Martha Raddatz; CBS’ Norah O’Donnell, John Dickerson, Charlie Rose, Christopher Isham and King; Fox News’ Bill Shine, Jack Abernethy, Jay Wallace and Suzanne Scott; MSNBC’s Phil Griffin, and CNN’s Jeff Zucker and Erin Burnett,” The Post reported.
Their sources said, “Trump started with [CNN chief] Jeff Zucker and said, ‘I hate your network, everyone at CNN is a liar and you should be ashamed.'” They added, “The meeting was a total disaster. The TV execs and anchors went in there thinking they would be discussing the access they would get to the Trump administration, but instead they got a Trump-style dressing-down.”
Television executives aren’t alone in receving scorn from Trump. The president-elect abruptly canceled a meeting with The New York Times on Tuesday, accusing the organization of changing the conditions for the session “at the last moment.” The newspaper denied the charge and said Trump’s aides tried to change the rules.
In traditional fashion, Trump took to Twitter to voice his concerns —
I cancelled today's meeting with the failing @nytimes when the terms and conditions of the meeting were changed at the last moment. Not nice
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 22, 2016
Perhaps a new meeting will be set up with the @nytimes. In the meantime they continue to cover me inaccurately and with a nasty tone!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 22, 2016
Eileen M. Murphy, the newspaper’s senior vice president for communications, said: “We did not change the ground rules at all and made no attempt to.”
The Times quoted her as saying Trump’s aides tried to alter the conditions, asking for a private meeting only, with nothing on the record, “which we refused to agree to.”
The president-elect heralded “more great meetings” in his Manhattan tower as he continues shaping his administration before heading to Florida for Thanksgiving on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Great meetings will take place today at Trump Tower concerning the formation of the people who will run our government for the next 8 years.

They have gotten too big for their britches. Need to be taken down a peg or 2 & Donald Trump is just the man to do it.
Dano says
Yes, I agree, Donald is the man to do it, but don’t forget, we the people have the greater strength to take the News moguls down, simply do not tune into their channel period, not for any show, no matter how much you like that particular show. When viewer numbers drop like a rock, they will pay much more attention.
Terry Brown says
I have not tuned into lamestream media for years
The one exceptions are am640 Coast 2 Coast/Spaceman:
AM680 for traffic and weather. I’ve got more than enough
of lamestream misinformation, deceptions, and lies.
Antonio oppus says
I absolutely agree with you 65million trump supporters listen up to Dan’s advice
John Lee says
I agree with you, the last time I watched CNN was back in May of 2010, it was on in a place where I was eating breakfast in Gallup New Mexico. In this instance, they were honest, which surprised me!
They had results of a study that was done about the Democratic constituents and the Republican constituents as to which knew more about what was going on in the world and the world of politics, they were honest, they said the study showed the Republican constituents are more informed than their the Democratic constituents! They started loosing some of their viewing audience for awhile, I don’t know if they ever got all of their audience back, but they haven’t been honest since.
SavvyWire says
“Masters of ‘the deals.'”
1) Mega banking institution misleads its distressed borrowers looking to “work-out” solutions and unaware of the cunning transition to process of foreclosure instead; one woman received such notice at her workplace in a phone call from a neighbor to inform a “Foreclosure Auction” was underway on her front lawn! She could not get information on “the Trustee,” nor could “they” located her file. (WF)
2) Another cunning profit model: bank employees were under pressure to generate revenue by creation of “phony accounts” to generate revenues charged against those accounts in names of “real people” who had to deal with costs and credit issues. (WF)
3) A CEO of a mega mortgage banking house is forced to resign; replaced by an immediate underling who must have been aware of what was going on; instead of cleaning out “the shed,” this individual was moved up!!
(4) “The Media” dropped all of it like a “hot rock!”
UPDATING:
(1) Furious voters protested “crooked Hilliary” and she was famously defeated in her bid for political annointment to push her ascension to the Presidency of The United States; a foregone choice to carry the baton of soon-to-be-GONE, President Barrack Obama in order to establish the “legacy” of the most ineffective individual to ever hold that offiice. An a “hush” came over the world?
2) “The Media” of inert cognitive structures now “rise” to what they perceive as “their occasion” as they march into the crowds of voters who saw the decay and corruption of the Obama Administration and his would-be “hand-maiden” and kicked them out!
3) Too much “more to come;” benign intellects content to reside in zones of mediocrity with the similarly impaired in circular rotation in celebration of their mutual assertion of superiority. DONALD TRUMP to be “their feast?” KICK OFF: MSNBC. DON’T COUNT ON IT!!!!!
Asian Angry patriot says
i haven’t watch CNN during the general election. I got tired of their liars, reporting only the good side of Clinton, and all bad sides of Trump. So i stopped watching. let’s boycott them all and not watch those Clinton’s network so their ratings will go down.
Mudguy says
The only reason CNN has any kind of ratings is because most all of our airports have them on all of their TVs twenty four hours a day.
Bob Caesar says
I used to watch cnn all the time now i dont even turn it on since their reporting of the presidential race Fox news only now
Bob says
That’s right. Hit them where it hurts the most, the pocketbook. They have forgotten that their job is to fairly report the news, not make the news.
Daniel says
DITTO,The American people believe that the TRUTH IS OPTIOBNAL IN THESE VENUES.THEY REALLY MUST THINK THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE REALLY STUPID.BOY OH BOY DID THEY FIND OUT???
Betty Pineo says
Yes, that’s true. Before we’d surf the channels to get the latest or our fav anchor on his comments. But today, we stick to only a few, mostly Fox News. And alternative News like Alex Jones and True News and NNN3, and a few other alternative media.!!
Deb says
I dropped all news except Fox which has issues too. Watched NBC most of my life until the primaries this year. That’s when I went to Fox. Could not stand their bashing of Trump who I greatly supported.
drafting says
Deb I agree with you however, I do change channel when Megan Kelly and Juan Williams are on any Fox show. Also, that democratic radio host (I can’t of that SOB name). I am also glad Bob Bear(sp) was on the “Five”
Maria LATINA says
I agree DEB… what the hell does FOX have Juan Williams…. he’s on the FIVE and I have to mute his comments each and every time….. WHAT A WASTETOID!!!! Get rid of him….
drafting says
Dane: Let’s do more than that; we don’t buy there newspapers and we tell there sponsors how unhappy we are, until they change there attitude, we are not buying your product either. There is a large number of good honest small business out there that want our business an is glad to get it. Who in the hell needs those corrupt media any way. Trump is get the job done informing bu using video and maybe he can return to FDR weekly “FIRESIDE CHAT” that way we will hear it from “The Man”, we get the whole true from Trump anyway and not how the corrupt media tell us. Let repeat this msg every time we can to get the word out.

Audrey Jane Spaulding says
I am so happy about that. I loved it. They all acted like regular Americans are Stupid. and Not one network at enough guts to stand up and say, hey this Sharia Law is against the Constitution. Not one of them stood up and said Obama and his Islamic Muslim ways needs to be shut down and shut off. Not one of them got up and said we need to get rid of the Congressmen who think they are indispensable . Trump is not the whole Answer and just because he didn’t reveal every thing he plans on doing, doesn’t mean that he has no control. 60 Minutes your just as bad as all the rest. Trump needs to get rid of all of these Criminal Illegals. These Net Works need to be put in their place and they need to stop pandering to all of these Washington Idiots. Thank you God. Sharpton needs to pay the $10 million in back Taxes that he owes us before he leaves. You know why he said he would leave if Trump was elected. its because he would have to pay the taxes of be in Prison. So which is Sharpton.
Chris says
If Sharpton does happen to go to PRISON, I am more than sure that he will feel back at home…In a wire cage all by himself! LOL
Rebecca Beal says
Are they crazy? They are now talking to and about the President…they are lucky he sees them at all.
fighterforfreedom says
The whole is the sum of its parts – Trump is, merely, executing the correct calculus. It’s wonderful to watch a leader at work.
fighterforfreedom says
with the lice that forms the media, Trump is correct to step on them like the cockroaches they are
debdell says
There is nothing the MSM can do that would be received as honest.
The MSM is the political arm and power of the corrupt establishment elite organized crime cartel. Trump wanting them to change and be honest will have zero effect. Only new laws that hold the lying bas tards accountable will make a difference.
PEOPLE WHO SELL THEMSELVES FOR MONEY ARE ….
Corrupt journalists only care about money and power and that they get only from the corrupt establishment.
The solution! Trump creates a panel of uncorruptable volunteers from the public sector to oversee the MSM and recommend bad ones to the AG and then Sessions will investigate them.
gerald serlin says
Unfortunately, if Sessions is actually appointed and becomes Attorney General, he will have no such power. The Attorney General can only investigate CRIMES, not some private citizen, or corporation running off at the mouth. Otherwise, we would all be under investigation.
Richard Jentz says
Look at what that liberal attorney general did in Massachusetts , TRUMP should be stepping on her like the rouge cockroach that she is. She is another idiot we need to vote out, they all get what they deserve. This is America not Russia, Wake up all you liberals we are taking back our country.
R.E.D.44 says
hey gerald, i think the FBI investigates and the AG prosecutes or appoints a prosecutor, might be he also can appoint an investigator also.
JULIETTE LUUS says
So proud of your President-Elect ! Even in SA we know CNN for one, was totally biased and negative about the Donald !
Chris says
Juliette Luus, you just better wake up and learn how to address our new President of The United States! If you don’t know what respect means, then you better start learning now before you are deported to where you came from…Wherever It Is!
Bonita Greene says
Chris: Where did you get the idea Juliette was disrespectful? Because she referred to Trump as the Donald? i don’t believe he would be upset in the least as he is a down-to-earth man, not pompous in any way and probably feels complimented at being referred to as ‘the Donald.’ This infers that there is only one ‘Donald’ and so there is. And ‘deported?’ Aren’t you presuming a lot!
Roger says
CNN was a total embarrassment!
CHRISTINA ANNE PRINCELY says
Stay STRONG President Donald Trump! DON’T BACK DOWN! BE FIRM WITH TRUTH, PRINCIPLE AND ETHICS. Teach the people on this earth to follow Rules…RESTORE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS BACK AT LAW OFFICES, THE COURTS AND THE SCHOOLS. The Ten Commandments say it “ALL”. If all people respect and follow them, they apply to all. THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ARE NOT A RELIGION OR RELIGIOUS! THEY ARE COMMON SENSE AND RESPECT FOR THE ALMIGHTY AND HIS CREATION! TO ALL PEOPLE: Your Choice: GOD, PEACE AND PROSPERITY OR GUNS, CHAOS AND POVERTY!
rick p. says
llluminate our federal government is the total causeof most of america problems get on youtube it will tell you everything.also tybe in clinton murders you be in shock.america is not in debt they the llluminati cant charge us interest on our own money.also the dollar will not crash but be the most vable paper money in the world.if you bough gold you better send it back

I will never watch social media again they are nothing but a basket of liars.

You said it John. It’s a pretty sad state of affairs when the news can be bought en to reflect good, on the bad side. Sadly they have always been the Dems. lap dogs. To call them journalists is a stretch. God Bless America.
Tom Brady says
Oh Donald…..get over yourself….and grow a thicker skin…….
For such a “seemingly” tough guy…you really are a pu$$y…..careful do not grad yourself….
RICHARD Allen says
You are a real idiot! How do you think President Trump can ever get anything done with these Media vultures? They are liars and never report accurately what Trump says and does.
Get an education or keep your mouth shut!
Sheila Johnston says
That’s right, yet O’ so wrong 🙁
BGB says
This is probably a pussy parent of one of the crybaby millennials. SUCK IT UP BUTTERCUP he’s OUR President and we don’t give a crap what you think of him. He beat that old nasty lying hag Clinton. Maybe she’ll die now like the old bitch she is.
Jenny fogel says
So would you rather have them tuck up his ads so they never report his wrong doings. Because that is all that’s going to happens. His meeting will change nothing but drive fear in these people so they are afraid to report the truth. Don’t be nieve!
Sharon Slike says
He is driving fear into them; he is just telling them that they are not reporting the news as it actually happens but slanting it to what their particular world view is. I remember when I was in school and we had to act like a reporter, we were told that the event should be reported so that others could make an informed decision not lead them down a certain path that was not truthful because the whole facts were not presented! News should never hold conclusions like it does now but report the facts whether it is in favor or not of the one or event being reported about.
Mr. Trump was telling them report the news and let the people make the decisions of what it means. The American people are not dumb but the news agencies must think we are.
Sharon Slike says
Should have read, “He is NOT driving fear unto them…”
KN says
WHAT NONSENSE….
debdell says
Are you saying that after all this time of the media lying about everything Trump that they will stop lying about Trump and not tell the truth about Trump because that is what he wants? You are a genius!
Eileen Ross says
Hey Tom Brady, are you a leftist, or just nuts?
WhiteFalcon says
Tom Brady is just another whining democrat that can’t get over the fact that crooked Hillary got soundly beaten in the election. Whine on Tommy. It is music to my ears.
Robert Bang says
Brady, you need to get over YOURSELF!
Gregory Pek says
Tom Brady. Trump is doing a favor for us all. He is calling out these horrible people for what they are. Without Trump most people would not be aware of the media bias.
So Tommy. Why don’t you get over your ignorance. Just consider what Trump has already done for the nation and the world. If you don’t get that, you are a …. I won’t say. Just consider what Trump has already done.
David Johnson says
Tom Brady: You are an idiot! These people have tried to chose a course fir the USA that is beyond dangerous! They continue to try to start WW3. As a former US Army Coonel I know how distorted and manipulative they are. They have tried to run the USA into a freak show! The readers of those propaganda media feel no remorse and co tiniest to try to destroy this country! They seem to care nothing about jobs, security, national debt, balance to trade, and keep blackballing anyone who opposes their gross dishonesty!

Why don’t you tell that to all the crybabies out there protesting? Tell that to the biggest LIAR on earth Hillabeast. Tell that to the hypocritical Obama who could say nothing good about her in 2008 when he campaigned against her, but could only praise her in 2016 after knowing she is a LIAR and sold our country for pay to play. Tell that to yourself knowing that she was the most unfit Presidential candidate ever but would rather see our country taken over by Radical Muslims than admit your idol is a criminal. Tell that to the lyning media for trying to rig àn election that shattered millions of people’s dreams regardless how misguided they were.
In other words YOU sir are the one who needs to grow thick skin and get over yourself.
debdell says
Troll alert! This jerk off is only trying to get everyone excited.
SavvyWire says
Donald Trump has created thunderous response of those so long tired of the phony and corrupt masses of “the media” and their “political misfits;” NOW .. the real challenge is the FORTHRIGHT address of sanctions to be applied against Hilliary Clinton for the baggage of corruption throughout her “political” career.
Any less will be a moral and ethical bebacle for years to come. Hilliary clearly thought she could trample all of the rest of us without any sense of shame; now she will live with it!

diane says
They want you think the media is liberal..it is not..it is corporate and controlled by world leaders who have numerous physiologists to manipulate opinions and thoughts through social engineering. It is best to avoid the networks because everyone is subject to mind control. Divide and conquer is a control tactic used throughout history to push the masses in the direction chosen for the 1 percents agenda only.
Rob says
Yeh you can almost see Soros’ fingerprints on their necks. Does the media lie? Of course. Make up stories? They’ve made it so you can’t tell which is phony or real. The real media died in 1995 that’s about when the who, what, when, why and how were no longer reported. They had sort of celebrities like Gerry Rivers (Geraldo Rivera) then Brian Williams and Katie Couric. Don’t forget the fake poll from Reuters and almost everything from CNN. I got this and much more three years ago from a 20 year journalist who had become an ex for those reasons.
Protonius says
Diane –
“Physiologists”? Don’t you mean “psychologists” or, better, “opinion-manipulators”?
Richard Jentz says
Liberals are brain damaged people who cannot tell the difference between the truth and a lie. TRUMP is the man and he will soon be Americas president weather the left likes it or not. There are a lot of cry ins for you lefts to attend , Maybe some day you will grow up and put your big boy pants on and go to work.
Jeanette says
I think you are giving liberals too much credit.
I believe that those who have normal or better IQs CAN tell the difference between the truth and a lie; they CHOOSE to lie.
We can let the liberals with substandard IQs off, as they truly do not understand anything.
Marqaret Abernathy says
He said, she said. Well we all know how the media reports issues; half truths, out right lies, and their way or no way.
Good for you Trump. It’s about time that these moguls face up to their failings.
Shirley says
I think it’s great that President Trump is slamming all the asses to the ground they have never had that kind of ass whipping…. keep it up Trump!!! Love My President and Frist Lady. Drain The Swamp!!!!!!
Justin W says
I couldn’t help chuckling when I read this. I think President elect Trump is sending a message that things are going to work differently going forward. The media has spent the last eight years operating as an extension of the Obama campaign office. It is time someone confront them.
It is refreshing to see a Republican president that isn’t going to bow to the Democrat infested media.
Norbert Ueberschaar says
SUPER! IF I WOULD BE TRUMP I WOULD SAY: AMERICAN PEOPLE (LEGAL) WATCH WHAT I’M DOING FOR OUR COUNTRY – IF YOU DO NOT LIKE IT – IMPEACH ME AND DETAIN ME IN MY PALACES – NOT OBAMA’S – I WORKED FOR OR SEND ME TO……. SLOVENIA WITH MY MELANIE (NOT MICHAEL, PLEASE !!!!) AND THAN –
ENJOY DEMON-RATS AND PLACE BS (barack soetero) BACK INTO GRAY HOUSE (UNLESS I REPAINTED , DISINFECTED and DEODORIZE IT and – REPLACED THE SEWER LINES and kitchen utensils TOO !!
( WELL – IF I WOULD BE !!! – BUT ALTHOUGH I AM NOT BORN IN THIS COUNTRY LAST 8 YEARS “BLESSED BY ALAAH’S PROPHET AND FUTURE VICE- MUHAMMAD I COULD NOT BE ONE BECAUSE OF MY “PUR INGLIS”
larry Bee says
It’s about time someone kicked these A.. H… back to reality. These network chiefs care only about their ratings at any cost to anyone. They think they can’t be reprimanded because they are so high up no one can touch them. Well there is a new sheriff in town, and he’s playing the Trump care. You haven’t see anything yet.. You go Trump. That’s why we elected you. Change that is needed. No more F…ing politicians filling their pockets.
debdell says
It is not just about their ratings and money. It is about the globalist cartel that own them and dictate what they are to do. You can expect the MSM to never stop opposing Trump because Trump is against their sick members who are part of the Epstein pedophile island group and the “spirit cooking” group of super sick fkers.
Tweeter says
WE all know that since the beginning of President-elect Trump’s candidacy, all the MSM several of them has been attacked Trump relentlessly. They lie and report falsehoods to the American people. They cheat for Hillary Clinton, and assist her create falsified reports to deceive the American people. CNN even cheated with her during the debate.
But the people are not really that stupid. They are awake and feel the pain of deceptions by the left, ignoring and forgetting the crimes of Clinton to the American people. All Media except Foxnews, participated on the liberal lies and falsehoods. These reporters have lost their integrity on reporting. They commit crimes as well by lying to promote a liberal ideology of destructions.
James Thomason says
Keep it going Trump.Only a few of them are real America.News trys to destroy the good USA.
Keith says
Some one needs to put all media at the receiving end of a firing squad. They are the ones behind all disrupt in all of the United States. Their job is to cause conflict and put everyone on edge. Media just quit, If you dislike everything so much there is many other places in the world you can go. Maybe someone would want to listen to you in the middle east for starters But I think I talk for the majority of Americans and I say SHUT THE F–k UP and get a new job that doesn’t hurt anyone, except maybe yourself
Lory says
I loved it too. At least if they continue with their bias agendas, we are all in the open, and Trump just let them know that.????
Rev. Tom says
They fail to realize that they are not above the President of the USA. They are just to tell the news-report the news, not create the news or tell their own lies or their petty feelings as the news! President-Elect Trump is acting as a leader not a slave to the public media CEOs. PRAISE GOD!
Don says
I said it before, and I’ll say it again: The best way hit the lame street media is in their pockets. Not only boycott their advertisers, but let the advertisers know the reason why: America demands the truth in journalistic reporting, not the voice over of a particular political party.
Warren Kendall says
Good for you, Donald! It is about time somebody put the word on all of the “mainstream Media” who are supposed to report the news fairly, but have such obvious liberal BIAS they are not worth listening to.
Sue says
Media now a days, corrupt! Time to make a change.
Maria says
Yeah Trump!! Go after them with a vengeance, they deserve it for being such idiots, they did you enough harm, now is your turn to get even. They think they are so high and mighty, bah. Thousands have cancelled their subscriptions and more coming, they are toast. Give those who were good to you the better chance and time, they won’t twist your words to make you look bad. GO TRUMP!!! The train is moving !!!

Good for Donald Trump!and he is the the one to do it. “OUR PRESIDENT ELECT.”
Paul Mann says
Beware of the power of the media! Most people believe what they say on face value. BAD MOVE! We must use the brain gave us and question there comments (how are they manipulating the data — to sensationalise the story). Blowing it out of proportion. Responsible journalism is DEAD. CNN best receiver, if it does not suit their political agenda they do not report it.
ART WILLIAMS says
This is what the American people voted for – no questions – there it is.
We may see a some of the Trump Family in positions of importance – let us hope – make America even greater.
BillV says
The news media started to change in the 60’s and it has gotten worse since. Cronkite was the first who started the mess and now they are an arm of the democrat party. They lie, fabricate and make up news stories. They go after every republican president nominee for President and after senators, and house reps in there states. They are out to destroy our country. The democrat President nominee this year is a criminal sending top secret information over a non secured site a criminal act per FBI, she was a money whore and incompetent for 30 years yet the press gave her a pass, they mentioned some of the crap she did and moved on.; They go after Trump made up stories and tried to crucified him. They play the same game on every republican Presidential nominee. Bush they go back to his college days to bring up a time he got drunk, yet they allow Clinton to get buy raping woman, and screwing around in the oval office, President Reagan would not go into that office without a suit on. And when the republicans went after him you backed the ass hole, he should have been booted out of office and you went along with the democrats. Obama the worse President in our history you people lied and did not check his back ground and now look what we have a mess in the world and open borders where ISIS can walk into our country, The drug lords in Mexico and coyotes brining hundreds of thousands of illegals into our country and you stupid jerks go along with the over running of our country with people that are on the government dole for life and taking money away from U.S. Citizens. You so called Main Street Press and media are destroying our country you are worthless ass holes/.
unionquickpicks says
The damned media has been overdue for a good B-slapping!!
If the media thinks they will get any sympathy out of this meeting, they will be shocked (yet again) to find We the People cheering Pres-elect Trump vigorously for this long-overdue dressing down.
The media has long-since CEASED to inform the public. Instead they are a bunch of leftist Democratic crotch-lickers.
Vee says
I appreciated that he met with the newspaper people, but I think he didn’t do himself any favors by “blasting” them; he probably worsened the situation. He could have wondered why they were so against him by always reporting all of his not-good comments (which were many) and so supportive of Hillary, supporting her by never reporting anything not good about her, as several editors warned their staff that if they did, they would be fired. I was really disgusted with my local paper in giving their recommendation for president. Is that their responsibility? Maybe it would have been a good idea to have Pence be in charge!!!! I do wish Trump would get thicker skin, and if he thinks that it’s necessary to respond, do it in a kinder tone.
Elle says
I don’t think Trump needs a thicker skin— he has every right to call them on their attitudes. Tne answer to ALL of this is MONEY. Someone is paying the media off, just like they are paying the AG, the FBI, the protesters, and others who are so against Trump that they have to nit-pick and even make up stories to discredit him. Just like Mr. Sessions, they are going back 30 years to find things that he said or did to use against him. Who hasn’t changed their minds on things that they did or said 30 years ago???? When you have to go back to someone’s early days to find things to talk about, it means that there isn’t much recently to write about!! We want UNBIASED news, and INFORMATION from the media– not their biased opinions and innuendos that they have been fed, and paid to express. WE THE PEOPLE are not as dumb and uninformed as they think we are. We can read between the lines!!!
Jeanette says
Saudi Arabia is extremely short of cash (so much so that they are being forced to sell off part of their famous oil company).
I’m thinking some of their money went to the entities you have named as likely having been paid off by “someone.”
SavvyWire says
Vee .. “The Media” in this country have been “in bed” with crooked politicians over decades, A SYSTEM OF MUTUAL RECIPROCITY; “back scratchers,” the proof in the La Familia culture serving all players; that is how the corruption became so embedded in our society as to be a natural expectation; no .. DONALD TRUMP should Huff and Puff and Blow their Houses DOWN.
Michael Hoffman says
The liberal press has always been and probably will be in the future, not really interested in the real truth but more interested in influencing the population into believing their way of thinking. Even if it has to distort the truth, slander people, and out right lie about any thing. It’s a sad day when the one tool that we people had counted on and had been a influence in gaining our freedom has been so recklessly hijacked by the far left!
Valor says
I hope Trump keeps this up, and goes directly to the American People instead of through the media. I learned 50 years ago to not talk to the media about anything. If you don’t say what they want to hear they will spin it so it sounds like you did. If a media person asked me for the time of day I would tell that person to go buy a watch!
andrew stradis says
I live in the UK. Mr Trump has made it clear how his 8 YEAR Term will begin. He is no fool. His is a master of his craft; well proved by years of his business empire which includes branches in my home town here. HIs way of doing things WORKS. Locally and Globally. Support is at hand from USA citizens who can spot the “difference” for which they voted. You will be well received by all citizens Sir, as they SEE your ways cut across the old barriers for a new US of A. Wish you good luck Sir. Andrew Stradis, UK citizen and supporter, Andrew Stradis.
Patricia A Hanrahan says

I see this as all part of draining the swamp, exactly what the people voted for.
CJof NYC says
It is so heartening that Trump (a non-politician) is living up to his claims. All of us “forgotten voters” are full of hope this mess that has been generated over the last 8 years can be neutralized. I hope I can again look forward to watching the evening network news for the sake of “NEWS” rather than some biased commentary. Makes me sick. Hit these moguls in the pocket and refuse to buy from the advertisers. As a republican it is hard to live in New York City. I am enjoying the nashing of teeth here. Go DT!!. Your voters have your back.
Jeanette says
Horn should do an article listing companies that advertise on the MSM.
molly says
They are just a bunch of sandy hookers anyway. That’s treason. Liars. Go Trump!
Roger says
Straight forward editorials or unbiased reporting from the mainstream media are a thing of the past. Everything ends up being blatant biased opinion pieces. Tabloid journalism rules the day! Read between the lines, take everything you hear or read with a grain of salt and form your own opinions. Sadly, this is the new normal and it’s only going to get worse! Yellow journalism, hyped up biased reporting and commentary rule the day! Turn to stations like PBS that are not influenced by advertising dollars to get a truer picture of what’s really happening out there. Trump calls it like it is and he’s absolutely 100% correct!
bob says
Proud to be an American again. I voted republican for the second time in my life, the first being for reagan. He has done more in 2 weeks than I can imagine. I am excited and I am happy to support fox news. They are fair and balanced. I keep my cable for fox news, it is on all day and all nite. Go trump, the days of b.s. are over.
John Armesto says
The Press does not report, they use propaganda to brainwash the public who they see as cattle to be manipulated and herded in the direction they choose. This time it backfired because they underestimated the majority and assumed they had enough minority voters to fall in line with their liberal socialistic agenda.
female tax payor says
Maybe we’ll be getting news briefs from now on direct from Trump on Twitter. And long version messages to the people in his own vidio releases. That would keep the press from taking snippet’s out of context & reporting misleading spun malicious crap…”Trump News”…here it comes.
Jeanette Dunn Aragon says
I stop watching all news network except FOX AND BBCsince I know that the news I was getting was all lies. The journalists in these networks are liars, deceitful and never in adherence to the standards of journalism. I voted for Trump and so happy that he have that “guts” to speak the truth and fight back in their intentions to defile our country by division and dishonesty. For the first time after eight years, I feel secured and protected in my beloved country, the USA!
John Armesto says
Amen to that!

Shut them down completely!

THEY’RE ALL DISGUSTING AND DON’T WANT AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. THEY WANT AMERICA DOOMED. PERIOD. I’VE BOYCOTTED ALL NEWS MEDIA EXCEPT FOX NEWS/SEAN HANNITY AND TUCKER CARLSON. THE OTHERS ON THAT NETWORK BELONG WITH CNN. DONE. DONE. DONE.

I hate the mainstream media! They are slanted & not accurate! If you are going to report the news, report all of it, not just half! I do not like the way the media favored Hillary & slammed Trump. Mainstream media is not worth paying attention to anymore!

Tom Brady..you better hope that one of those Goebbels news outlets has a job for you cause you will never been in the good graces of most real Americans…Shitheads like you are always shooting off your mouth before thinking..Oops, you liberals can’t think, sorry.
george milton says
Here is how to handle them. On Facebook whenever you see someone sharing an article which is not accurate or peoperly vetted and cited or simply stupid and slanted like today’s was the NYPOST saying Baron and Melania will not be moving into the White House. Of course the truth is they are waiting until the end of the school year. On Facebook go to the top right of the typical media garbage article and just click HIDE ALL FROM NYPOST FOREVER.
Just like that you can upgrade the quality of your news feeds. Do it and then enjoy more accurate less BS from these idiots. You can also turn off their channels on your TV selector I did this for CNN and MSNBC and plan to expand this to CBS and ABC if they don’t cut out the garbage coverage. WE decide what we want to read. WE must clean up our own news feeds and punish them with steep drops in their numbers.
Jeanette says
I programmed the MSM channels out long ago – that is the only way to force them to straighten out (or go out of business).
Had this happened while Obama still had years to go, he would simply have forced American taxpayers to bail out the MSM; hopefully it’s too late for that now.
OLDMARINEGRUNT says
Lets put this whole scenario into a walnut shell. Here is a custard pie right into the face of a left wing media.
I lost faith in the media all the way back to the Viet Nam war and have not believed in these double talking,
two bit, phonies since. Hey Media, Broomhilda crashed and burned. Suck it up by getting off of Trumps ass
and do the job that you where supposed to do in the first place. Enjoy the pie!!
John says
As others have said, we can follow Trump’s lead in putting down the media. Join those of us who have quit using it. I have not used the TV since the death of journalism and their constant lies. Trying to find honest news on TV is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
cbanalyst says
The incredible stupidity of the media moguls was evidenced by their ignorance of the history of our country & the intent of our founding fathers who well knew (from Europe) the tendency of those in control to ignore the rules & to dominate the general population. Consequently they regarded the media as a group which would be the people’s “watchdog” so to speak and to oppose all excess of power tried by the party (whoever it was) that was in control.
Now, the media (for the most part) seem proud to be Liberal Lap Dogs and make no attempt to hide this fact. Shame on them, and they have the temerity to call themselves “Americans”.
Chaz says
Trump shouldn’t even give them the time of day. He’s going to get bad coverage either way. I wonder what their talking points will be even when he turns this Country around. I’m sure there will be some missteps along the way, and the Libtard media will lambast him and turn it into a major scandal ! He can’t win for losing against the biased reporting that he will receive !
Hazel Schwartz says
At least now Trump gets the chance to prove his mettle. Although I did not like his comments about women made in the bus he said them not knowing it was going to be taped. (yes I realize he shouldn’t say them anyway but banter is banter and I’m sure people we know and respect have said other equally bad, we just haven’t had it taped!) I think that was rather underhand to say the least. Also, when the ‘first so called woman’ was interviewed about being groped by Trump on that plane trip she said it had lasted ‘about 15 minutes’ and she could not remember where she had caught the flight from. FIRSTLY, although it happened ’35’ years ago IF one indeed was groped for 15 mins one would never forget and Secondly, you would most definitely remember the day and flight in detail. NOBODY who really did not want to be groped would allow it to last 15 SECONDS let alone 15 minutes. And she doesn’t remember where she boarded? Don’t make me laugh! She didn’t remember where she boarded because she wasn’t primed well enough and didn’t get on a fictitious flight!! To bring up all these women EVEN if he WAS taped at saying ‘they allow you’ was low. I hope, for Mr Trump’s sake, and his family’s sake, that he achieves a good amount of what he’s aiming at. All you lot at all the TV news stations could be HELPING at making the country more positive in every way by ASSISTING the process and not pulling it apart. You’re ‘bullies’ in another form.
Presela Anne Robley says
This is FABULOUS NEWS. Great news. What I would give to have been a fly on the wall in such a gathering. I hope that Trump did put the fear of GOD into these idiots. Never have I seen such BLATANT BIAS from so-called professional “journalists,’ never have I seen a presidential candidate treated so badly, when he did not deserve it. I don’t blame Trump one moment for doing this. Also, if the corrupt MSM does not shape up and start showing some RESPECT to our new President-Elect, I hope that he will continue in the same vein of what he did in this meeting. These morons have been given far too much power, they actually don’t seem to grasp the fact that THEY ARE NOT IN CHARGE, DONALD TRUMP IS THE ONE WHO IS ULTIMATELY GOING TO BE IN CHARGE, AND THEY NEED TO ACCEPT THAT FACT, AND ADJUST THEIR ARROGANCE ACCORDINGLY. CNN in particular needs a great big wake-up call, they are so self-absorbed in their lack of reality in the way they report the news that IMO, they need to be put OUT OF BUSINESS. They are DESPICABLE. The media reminds me of the same imbecile “celebrities” in Hollywood who have no idea how classless they are. These people would not know how to respect Trump if their lives depended on it. Ultimately, even if the MSM does change their tune a bit, they will never get my rating. EVER. No CNN, no MSNBC, no CBS, ABC, or NBC where news is concerned, And I do also boycott much of their programming. Let the idiots learn what it feels like when much of America is BIASED AGAINST THEM, for 4 to 8 years. Or forever.
GO TRUMP. Tell it like it is, MR. PRESIDENT!!!!!
Jo says
The media is so corrupt. They just have to be biased. Can’t be neutral and report the news as is and not reporting it the way they want to see it. The Miami Herald is another nasty biased newspaper. Doesn’t help them any with their paper becoming so sloppy lately. It was once a nice newspaper but it turned ugly. With all the nasty reports against Trump, the encouragment of illegal voting, the nasty tv ads and all of the negativity, Trump came out not only the victor but a soaring victor because he knows how to do it Show you the stamina he has. Let’s try to be decent and give him a chance to prove himself.
Kenneth Stelter says
At this point most of the posts have covered what I was feeling. CNN’s Zucker got a long overdue “in the face” – I’m surprised the “albino” wasn’t there. Little George got an ear full and his sidekick Martha got an overdue “in the face” None apparently used the excuse that it was not their fault – they only read the script that their employers hand them and we all know that the employers are card carrying members of the Liberal Elite Establishment.. The one thing that the President Elect should have done is draw the line and warn them that if they continue to distort what he says that he will pull press passes and they will be out reading what journalists print.

It’s about time someone “Cleaned out the swamp” that Washington has become, especially since Obama took over. Christianity and Morality have fallen by the wayside and the country is in chaos because of it. I for one hope you ‘clean up the swamp’. In God We Trust! May God give you the strength and power to do it, President Trump! You would be surprised to know how many Christian friends you have.
Politically incorrect says
I only watch the local news in the mornings for 30 minutes then I don’t care to watch any other news channels since the election. I will admit I do watch the first segment of O’Reilly (talking point) but after that I change the channel because everyone he has on he interrupts as do the rest of the talk show host on Fox. But out of all of them Fox was about the only one that did try and be equal on both Trump and Hillary.
With the way the media treated Trump I would not mind it one bit if he pulled all their press passes and tell them get one chance to report total honest news and the first time they get caught lying then their passes will be revoked permanent. The mainstream media should be crying out about Obama shutting down border programs and allowing hoards of illegals to come in from now until Trump takes office.
That to me is bigger news because he is putting this country at risk with allowing this and basically opening the borders to possibly many terrorist because it is not just Hispanics coming across the borders. Texas is having a fit over this and nothing is being said about what Obama has ordered the borders to do.

Oh dear ” where ignorance is bliss, tis folly to be wise”. You’ve got the man you deserve. A dictator like none has seen before. I just feel for the American citizens that did not vote this man in. Trump is a one man band. You will realise this when it’s too late. Everything is about him, me & I. You’ve now got your own Putin. Good luck.
Jeanette says
Is that a joke, or are you really that uninformed?
Hillary has made it abundantly clear that in her opinion, Muslims can do any wrong. She even went to the point of hiring Muslim Huma, whose mother actually writes books about how women should have to undergo Muslim female genital mutilation.
You actually believe that it would be better to be sliced up by the Muslims than to have ANYONE OTHER THAN HILLARY?
Are you a Muslim, by any chance? Or just a glutton for punishment?
Don says
To repeat my comment from a previous article, I am of the opinion that the national low morality in the USA is to the point that the free press is becoming a threat to our constitution. Some say it is “the fourth arm of the government” in it’s national influence. Multiplied millions at home and abroad are brainwashed by it’s radical liberalism. It’s to the point that the mainstream media do not even attempt to hide their radical bias anymore. I think the time has come for Americans to insist that the “free” press come under the authority of elected representatives, such as the House and/or Senate. The first thing dictatorships do when they take over the government is to seize control of the press. That is to a large degree what has happened in the good old USA. Their big problem now is that Donald Trump is on to them, and he just might make some moves to level the playing field.
Some have commented that they just don’t watch the liberal media. The problem there is the tiny minority who are doing that. The radical liberal media could not exist if they were not flooded with viewers. It is a catch 22 that needs government action by representatives of the people from both sides of the aisle to control a media who speaks for less than half the country. If this is not dealt with by the people, then government of the people, by the people, and for the people will cease to exist.
Jeanette says
That minority isn’t so tiny; liberals are about 20% of our population.
Add to that the (allegedly only 11 million) illegal aliens who benefit from systems that liberals so love to force on the rest of us. And now add the “refugees” who really, really appreciate people who ignore the massive butchery being perpetrated by Muslims all over the world (those ignoring and ignorant people are the liberals).
We have no idea how many liberals/liberal supporters there are in this country, which is a bad place for us to be.

America would do fine without ABC, CBS, NBC, & CNN, Lets just pull their plug and see what happens, we might all figure out that we as a nation could all get along a lot better without all the talking heads trying to stir things up and telling everybody what they think we should be thinking about this or that!
Jeanette says
It wouldn’t change our viewing one bit; we cut them out of the programming years ago!
Trust me, folks – there IS life after the MSM!

Mike Dar says
CNN has been ‘inaccurate’ in reporting for several decades now. I believe they sort or ‘lowered the bar’ at every opportunity, the others followed.
What is very important to remember it Ted Turner Enterprises is the mother corporation- The Entertainment Industry/Movies.
Comcast- the NBCs.. Tv Internet packaging..
Verizon- Huffpost..
AT & T now getting in..
The direction is undeniable.. the Mother corporations all have two things ongoing.. no Congressional oversight- Agency control..
and thereby guaranteed markets and profits.
One needs a Tv Internet package, one needs a cell phone, the providers need politicians to pay to keep unregulated. Ever notice that just about everyone hates their ‘Providers’ more than the Representatives we have in Congress..
ever wonder why?

JET says
To Nina Gill I would only say that you should apply for a job at CNN. I think it would be a great fit for you. Calling a spade a spade is NOT indicative of a dictatorship. The real problem is that the MSM has lied to the people so long that folks like you have a hard time recognizing truth when it is right in front of you. The MSM welds more power over the thinking of folks than any president or dictator ever could. That means that we the people need to hold them accountable for reporting the truth or not reporting at all. The bottom line problem is that we have forgotten that government is for the people, by the people, It is obvious that the people have spoken and they desire change. America will cease to be a sovereign nation if we don’t take back our nation. God help us all to pray for all our leaders and to support our military as they protect our precious freedoms….even those who ignorantly think that truth represents dictatorship.
Jeanette says
Nina Gill apparently wants Hillary and Muslim mutilation for our girls and women. That is not an indication of someone who appreciates God (who is NOT the same entity as Allah, despite that lie being told for centuries).

IN MY OPINION, NEWS is governed by the “slant” needed to fulfill the needs of their “lobbyist sponsors”. Anchors today, just read from a script.

I agree, CNN, CBS, NBC, New York Times and a lot of other Rag independent News Papers have been B/S the public for years, They Bashed President Elect Donald J. Trump and told stories about him that were fiction. But they have been doing this for years. Nobody talks about Dearborn Michigan, ? why even the Dearborn Police do nothing about the problems there… Why is the Media not covering that….. It is Disgusting and Dishonest to mislead the Public the way they do, they should be made accountable for everything they Print !
Dagonet says
Didn’t Dr. Ron Paul have a channel or network or something? Let that be his ONLY news outlet or go to Sean Hannity.
Betty L. Smith says
Well, Thanksgiving is over and we all must get on with our way of life. I voted for Trump and am glad he will be our President, because the one we have had for almost 8 years has done his best to ruin our country. He and his wife hate America, and if you remember she said when he was elected, it was the first time she had ever been proud to be an American. Right then we knew what kind of administration we would have. With his hiring Muslims in his cabinet, and other jobs, he has let us know what he is. A Muslim, Islamic traitor to our country. His side kick Valerie Jarrett is Iranian, a Muslim and her religion is Islam, and she wants Sharia to be the American religion. She is really the one who runs our USA. She tells Obama what to do and when to do it. When he leaves office he will be renting a mansion( we the tax payers will be paying for,) Why hasn’t the media hopped on this little tidbit? Because they don’t want us to know what these people will be up to with George Soros, Nancy Pelosi, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and other Democrat’s.(These people have met with him in D.C.) There agenda is to overthrow Trump’s Presidency. The media loves the Obama’s and therefore love the communist Soros, who has made his living toppling countries, and getting richer and richer, and of course paying off the media to print nice things about Obama, but worse things about Trump. Hillary is the least they even think about now. It just wasn’t her time this year, just like it wasn’t her time in 2008. They wanted a black man, who could be bought, and Soros with his billions got him in. He came from nowhere, and didn’t know beans about anything. He was stupid, and still is. He will make it his job until he gets kicked out of our country, to get on his stump and go all out saying more lies about Trump, and the MSM will print it and the TV stations with the exception of Fox News will be all over it. I never watch anything now but Fox News, and if any of the people that remember Ted Turner(CNN), you know what a devout liberal Democrat he was and still is, unless he has died. He had to be a complete nut to have married Jane Fonda, who should have been tried for treason during the Vietnam war. It wasn’t to long ago they nominated her for Woman Of The Year. How people forget? I think the people who are watching CNN, MSNBC,ABC,NBC,CBS and the other stations are just to young to know what is going on in our country, or they would know that those are all lies that are coming from the media, and the newspaper’s. You can tell with some of these remarks that they haven’t been watching the honest news about what is going on in their country.
