"With False Claims..."

The New York Times:

"With False Claims, Trump Attacks Media on Crowd Size and Intelligence Rift"

WASHINGTON — President Trump used his first full day in office on Saturday to unleash a remarkably bitter attack on the news media, falsely accusing journalists of both inventing a rift between him and intelligence agencies and deliberately understating the size of his inauguration crowd.

But the media is still "in the tank" for Trump, right?

1. Good to see them start to tell it like it is...

[SticksnStones]

2. I thought he was going to tell us his secret plan to destroy ISIS on day one...

I'm really disillusioned now ~

3. The more angry he gets the closer

he will be getting to banning press and media except for what he approves of. You all do realize that we are going to have to fight for our right to receive truthful information about what goes on in our country?

9. Someone suggested the media just don't show up next time.

Pre-emptive strike.

10. That would be funny.

Even though he has his own lying media I am sure he would spout some anger for being ignored.

4. Murdoch Media and

Comcast Entertainment (MSNBC/NBC)are doing their darnedest to out pro Trump each other. Hunch says,these two have made a misguided decision to hitch their collective wagons to this toxic pile of dung.

5. As for me, I'm cautiously optimistic.

It's become clear that the GropenFuhrer has essentially declared war on the media. Beginning with the "meeting" in Trump Tower after the election, then the verbal assault on the CNN reporter a week or two ago, and now today's little meltdown. I'm figuring that there must still be at least a handful of journalists in this country who will give him the pushback his tirades and prevarication deserve. But, as we all know, starting with the Idiot-Son's regime, so many of our so-called journalists abdicated their responsibility to challenge the power structure, in order to maintain access to those who weilded the power. We shall see.

6. he went off on them while talking to the cia....

Trump expressed support for the CIA, but he also veered into political territory, denouncing the news media, boasting about the size of his inaugural crowds, and even discussing his own appraisal of his intellect.

"And then they say, 'Is Donald Trump an intellectual?'" Trump said. "Trust me, I'm like a smart person."

A former senior CIA officer told NBC News he was embarrassed, watching the remarks, which he called a "free-wheeling, narcissistic diatribe."

Lots of pictures of Trump's crowd and telling everyone not to believe the lying liberal media.

Whiners. Now who's the snowflakes?
