Trump to CNN Reporter- You are Fake News

[Origanalist]

Well they are sort of fake news lately mixed with some occasional non-fake news.

On an entirely unrelated note, would it be ok from Congressional standpoint if secretive agencies now and then got embedded with media outlets at the time and place of their choosing?

Lately?

Things like this make it REALLY tempting to like Trump

Well, I'm not going to go that far. It will take much more than that. But, for a president elect to put the Deep State on notice...what's not to like?

Trump pits his staff against the media

The president-elect packs his news conference with paid aides ready to jeer reporters.


NEW YORK — When Donald Trump gathered the press at Trump Tower 20 months ago to announce his unlikely candidacy for president, he reportedly paid actors to fill the marble lobby and cheer.

Not much — and everything — has changed since.

On Wednesday morning, when the president-elect once again faced hundreds of reporters from around the globe gathered in his lobby -- this time for his first press conference in seven months — Trump filled the room with paid staffers who clapped and cheered as he blasted members of the media as purveyors of “fake news.”

It was Trump’s method of battling back an extraordinary report that U.S. intelligence officials have presented both Trump and President Barack Obama with unverified allegations that Russia has compromising information about the incoming 45th president, including about a reported salacious encounter in a Moscow hotel room.

With three of his grown-up children, Vice President-elect Mike Pence, and members of his senior staff looking on from the sides, Trump framed the anticipated barrage of questions about his connections to the Russians as a referendum, instead, on the untrustworthy media, seated in seven rows of plastic folding chairs in front of him.

The Greek chorus of loyal, paid staffers in the back of the room boosting Trump with their hoots and cheers also served as a reminder, of sorts, of the movement of Trump backers happy to take him at his word and jeer the media as the out-of-touch liars.

“It’s very familiar territory, news conferences,” said Trump, who has been more visible on Twitter than in person since Election Day, as he took the podium. His long absence was the media’s fault, he said, not his. “We stopped giving them because we’re getting quite a bit of inaccurate news,” he said, before calling Buzzfeed, the website that published the full 35-page unverified dossier of allegations against Trump, a “failing pile of garbage.”

“Fake news” became the running theme of the hour-long press conference, which peaked with Trump refusing to take a question from CNN reporter Jim Acosta and yelling at him, “I’m not going to give you a question. You’re fake news.” CNN broke the story on Tuesday about the intelligence briefings, which implied Russia could potentially be in a position to blackmail Trump.

lol sorta like how Trump was paying people to come to his rallies and stuff too, right? He just buys all his fame..

What you don't realize is that those "paid staffers" represent the view of the majority of people. The views of the mainstream media are represented by a few tools, shills and idiots left falling for that crap.

I can see how it reinforces their view, when they believe stuff like this staged rally was real.

Trump may have already won 2020, he'll have to work very hard to lose.

Could it be buzzfeed owners wanted to push fabricated fake news for "humor"?
They have created fake news for "humor" in the past:



When war is pre-packaged for sharing

Here's one of the more-discussed critiques of Israel's social media campaign, in which a writer for the site BuzzFeed created a fake tweet from the Israel Defense Forces:

MT @idfspokesperson: I just ousted Hamas as the mayor of Gaza on @foursquare!
— Andrew Kaczynski (@BuzzFeedAndrew) November 15, 2012

That post, in which the author appears to mock use of social media, also raised questions about humor during a violent conflict, and the authenticity of information on social networks.
"Does a journalist faking a tweet from an official govt account cross a line?" asked Alex Howard, a writer at O'Reilly Media.

BuzzFeed's co-founder came to the defense of that tweet's author:

@mathewi @digiphile clearly humor, not fabrication. It's OK if it made u laugh, over the line if it didn't, that's the problem with humor!
— Jonah Peretti (@peretti) November 16, 2012

Some criticism takes a more serious tone.

Has CNN said whether we can read these documents yet?

[donnay]

If anyone cares, CNN has a reply up:



I haven't heard so much fumbling around in an attempt to give an explanation since Nancy Pelosi tried to explain the Obamacare bill.

144 upvotes. 1,678 thumbs down. CNN is done. Next?

Two observations: I can hear the CNN guy MUCH better than the other reporters. Is he just yelling louder, or did someone give him a mic when they heard him mention CNN?
Secondly, the CNN guy gets just a few words shy of finishing his question: "Can you state categorically that nobody...". Nobody what? Now i want to know!

Hilarious statement by CN fake news N. "We didn't post any details, just vague hearsay, identify specifically what's inaccurate!"

(CNN)CNN's decision to publish carefully sourced reporting about the operations of our government is vastly different than Buzzfeed's decision to publish unsubstantiated memos. The Trump team knows this. They are using Buzzfeed's decision to deflect from CNN's reporting, which has been matched by the other major news organizations.
We are fully confident in our reporting. It represents the core of what the First Amendment protects, informing the people of the inner workings of their government; in this case, briefing materials prepared for President Obama and President-elect Trump last week.
We made it clear that we were not publishing any of the details of the 35-page document because we have not corroborated the report's allegations. Given that members of the Trump transition team have so vocally criticized our reporting, we encourage them to identify, specifically, what they believe to be inaccurate.

[goldenequity]

Here is Tapper's morning broadcast.



"The entire front page of CNNs website
was lit up with the Trump pee pee story.
They were headlining the $#@! out of it
as if it would be the story that takes him down.
In their pathetic, malevolent glee...
they did not realize they were being trolled."

==========

"It should be very clear then what a hatchet job CNN was attempting to do.
They knew the same information reported in this morning's NBC article
BUT they worded everything in a way
that would lead viewers to draw the worst conclusions. "

with a reply saying "That's not appropriate" . . .

CNN will need a new reporter for the White House beat now - he ain't getting in or will not be called on ever again at least.

[helmuth_hubener]

I kind of want to buy stock in Time Warner just so I can sell it, but I don' t think that would work.

You can do what's called "shorting" the stock. You "sell" it first (virtually) with the promise to "buy" it later, after it's gone down (if it works out how you plan -- otherwise if it goes up you owe the difference).

I wouldn't recommend it! But it's an option.
