Donald Trump’s media summit was a ‘f−−−ing firing squad’

I'm tired of linking basic definitions for you

And yet you seem to not understand the usage of the word Mainstream in this context.

So, he told it like it is- media are big fat liers.. Not really a suprise. Twisting the truth counts as lies to me.
3 years of studying media was the biggest waste of time/biggest eye opener I've had.

Cite the lies then.

[Nadiru]

Yeah, 4 month of playing the victim is same as 4 years of Presidency where you will be judged for your action and not your words? Tell us more, plz!

Ah, but you're judging him on actions he hasn't taken yet, much like the GOP did with Obama.

[GennGreymane]

But it doesn't count because it's a "platform" and not "media".

Please detect the sarcasm. pls.

ah yes, of course.

[Blade Wolf]

Listen Lying Media, you're going to cover me honestly alright? I got the best people and we have the best plan. You're going to love this plan, nobody's got a plan like this. It's gonna be yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge, I'm talking bigly success here. I know more than the generals do, believe me.

*insert funny hand gestures also*

[PosPosPos]

50m people voted for him because he was those things? Nope. That's absurd.

The media called him that 24/7 and people hate the media even more than Trump and are sick of identity politics and baseless claims. That enraged them enough to vote for him.

Okay, so 49.99999 million. Does that make you happy?

Likely not told by NY post was that they told him the same thing and left? Middle finger and all?

The Donald is already ahead of schedule, all you haters are going to be so ashamed when he makes America great again

Let's not act as if the media deserves to be treated any better than this.

[Sevyvia]

Left-leaning media fucking crucifies a right-leaning candidate, then whine after the election when the candidate calls them on their bullshit.

Apparently this is a surprise.

You know, I've been meaning to ask this:

What if, like, he doesn't?

Just curious.

[Narwal]

Did Trump dress down any media outlets sympathetic to his administration?

It seems bizarrely conspiratorial Trump would claim an entire network as liars, for example.

What a shameful POTUS, IMO. Perhaps only Nixon is on par in recent times.

Not really, if you don't think it's the "network" behind putting the pundits of a particular slant on their payroll, you're blind.

[Daelak]

Yup, it should be blame the corporations who booted out workers for automation and higher profit margins. Lets face facts, automation was destroying the manufacturing industry long before free trade came into play. I do feel sorry for those that did not see it coming and/or are not in a position to go to school or have skills to be employed elsewhere, but this is not a free trade or immigration issue. Contrary to Trump's belief, the "brown" illegals are not taking "whitey's" job on the line making cars. They are taking the jobs on farms that are considered below Americans standards.

Exactly. All these conservative and alt-right internet heroes claiming a mandate is what makes this more laughable that they are trying to attribute their ideology to the success of a Trump presidency; when in fact is shows how our electoral process and participation is failing.

If the left was allowed to delude themselves into thinking a Chicago Democrat wouldn't fuck them over with backroom deals, it's fair game that the right's allowed to delude themselves that a guy one leather jacket away from being a mafia boss won't either.

Yes, Trump's doing that "loser's walk"...all the way to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

There's still something like a successful president or a failure of a president.

Getting elected is the easy part, defining what kind of president you are, is the hard part.

[jdbond592]

Ah, but you're judging him on actions he hasn't taken yet, much like the GOP did with Obama.

His actions involve whining about SNL skit and asking media to praise him? Those are his actions, right? His actions involve meeting businessmen from other country while being President elect?

We are talking about a guy who gave victory speech about working for everyone and next day lashed at protestors.

In what world do you live in? I am not even talking about his policies.

And yet you seem to not understand the internet and content on it by definition belongs to the alternative media.
I can understand that you find this inaccurate or outdated, but right now that's how it is.

[Bullettime]

Let's not act as if the media deserves to be treated any better than this.

Problem is that he has the head of Breitbart in his cabinet. If he starts condemning all main stream media but throws Breitbart praise and bones, that's a big stepping stone to a government sponsored media.

That's why this is concerning.

The internet is pretty mainstream.
