#1 One of the objectives here is to reform the media, and doing it publicly is the way to go.

They have been a long term cancer for many decades.

And do not under-estimate the entertainment value of having a Trump in office.

#4 No matter how left-wing scumbag news organisations try to spin this, you only have to look at the video to see that Acosta was the only one shouting, he was rude, and Trump was quite correct in what he said.

#7 Any thinking person aware of Human nature and the bias of the MS media recognizes the eagerness of the Left in Media to smear Trump with unsubstantiated and Evidence-less ( yes FAKE ) News.
Calling them out publicly is a correct move by Trump. Denying that they actually ARE Journalists is appropriate . They are not professionals and they are not Journalists. They are Leftist and they are dishonest. And they CAN be denied access. Make them pay a Price ( literally ) for their lack of professionalism. Unbiased News is their responsibility. Fake News is what they deliver. Make it cost them.

#10 I work with a Lib. Default position seems to be that DJT is a lech, and the next four years will be story-after-story buttressing said position. Retractions or corrections appearing on page 95 in 4-point type will never be taken into account.

My co-worker, like most of the Dem Rank and File (those at the top know better, but also know who keeps them in boodle.), are stuck in some sort of adolescent idealistic world where only they can make the world right, and if you don't swallow the Blue pill, you are the problem. Tiresome.

Here's a little something for lunch:

#11 Preparation of the battlefield. The SCOTUS based divide between public and private person on libel clearly violates the 14th Amendment of equal standing before the law. The fall back of the first amendment Freedom of the Press was never about the institution of the 'Press' cause it never existed back then. Rather it was about the technology of the flow of information. Today that is handled more and more by the internet.

The man is likely to appoint two to the SCOTUS in his term. He's giving a bunch of out of control people amble opportunity to burn their house down.

#13 A number of media critics have denounced Buzzfeed and to a lesser extent CNN. Their biggest beef was that the Trump team will use this episode to their advantage. Interesting, they laid their bias bare lamenting future difficulties in "cornering Trump on legitimate issues".

I like the term Democrat party aparatchik. Sounds more...Russian. But DNC operative works too.

#15 I would have preferred to see DJT ignore the ignorant little twerp and continue w/ the P.C. Do that several times and, the 'less is more' philosophy could take hold and a whole lot distraction in the daily news cycle. Kind of like how Mom and Dad ignore braty Junior at the Piggly-Wiggly DEMANDING a candy bar and having a temper tantrum; they let him go until he winds down, and if big sister is there and good, and SHE gets a candy bar, after a while the little prick gets it. IMHO.

#16 USN, Ret., in my personal experience, a quick swat on the bottom followed by a time out if at home or a removal from the situation if abroad accelerates the acquisition of understanding. Left alone the bad behaviour is self-feeding, and annoys onlookers unnecessarily.

USN, Ret., respectfully, you are assuming of course that they are capable of learning. I don't think there is any evidence of that...

#19 Nothing wrong with giving a dog a treat when its' a good dog, or disciplining them when they are bad. At some point they will learn or they can bloggers.

I get what you're saying, but it seems to me the Bushes tried this tack and it was a failure.

#22 No, they are fake news. The only reason to have CNN or Buzzfeed in the press room is to take the opportunity to shame them and deny them the opportunity to be recognized. If they had any sense they would withdraw, but they won't; so, points for Trump every time they open their damn fool mouths.
