Donald Trumps News Session Starts War With and Within Media

He deemed BuzzFeed News “a failing pile of garbage,” mocked an inquiry about his tax returns — “Gee, I’ve never heard that one before” — and, in an unheard-of moment for a presidential news conference, shouted at a CNN reporter, declaring, with some menace, “Not you.”

“Your organization is terrible,” said President-elect Donald J. Trump, his voice rising as CNN’s Jim Acosta tried to interject. “No, I’m not going to give you a question. I’m not going to give you a question.”

“You,” the president-elect said, as Mr. Acosta and other stunned journalists looked on, “are fake news.”

Any hope that Mr. Trump would temper his attacks on the news media after the campaign seemed to evaporate in the marble atrium of Trump Tower on Wednesday, as the president-elect, holding his first news conference since July, turned a scandal about his ties to Russia into a deft and unrelenting attack on the journalists who reported it.

to band together and start actual reporting. Not outrage click bait. If they team up, Trump won't be moving into the white house with prostitutes pissing all over the place. They need to expose him for what he is. Never let up to focus on an inane tweet.
