It's also good to be aware that news from an organization that breaks into an orgy of tears over the president leaving should probably be taken with a truckload of salt.

yeah

It's reassuring to know no one has ever been hyperbolic on Twitter before.

The choreographed nature of the outburst was particularly funny though. All of their periods are perfectly synchronized.

It's an Orwellian masterclass. He invented fake news with the Birth cert bullshit. Now he appoints himself one and only judge of what is or isn't fake news. And people are buying it.

It's terrifying.
I'm betting he makes moves to restrict media and internet freedom the moment he takes office. Certainly within 100 days

Yep. I've been saying this for weeks. And nobody is gonna stand up to him. What irony that he asked if we're in Nazi Germany. He'll be the leader to take the US closer to that then ever before.

I bet he changes waterboarding to pissboarding.

I've liked Shep Smith since the JLo blowjob incident

I hope they do. His historically thin skin means they too could one day end up the subject of a tweet or a shout down at a "press conference." If they're forced to sit on anything negative about him, they're forced into illegitimacy.

Shep Smith just made Trumps piss list, no doubt.

While Trump is probably refusing CNN access for all the wrong, narcissistic reasons, I don't have a problem with it in general. The president is under no obligation to answer cnn's questions, and his refusal is really no different than the canned non-answers politicians usually give when they don't want to answer. Personally I'd prefer flat out refusal to answer and drop the bullshit civility. Drop the charade, up to and including the "Mr. President" stuff. Relations between the media and government should be anything but cozy and deferential. Here's to open hostility! Also, CNN is cancer.

On the other hand, all the Mexican joints are closed today because of the snow. If this is a preview of Trump's America, then I'm moving to Canada.

You guys were sure Trump was launching his own news network once Hillary won.


Is he still going ahead with it do you think?

I see Burt has completed his metamorphosis into the ultimate South Park Agnostic
