To dinner.

The butt hurt continues

Jackson quickly made a reservation at the 21 Club so that she could verify Trump was there. She said he was seated in the main dining room with his family.



Lots more at that link

Hope he completely freezes them out. Maybe the other networks will take the hint.

Sorry Hallie. Train is full.

Lets be fair here: his supporters delight in it too.

Wolf Blitzer was bitching about this the other day, too.

He is a moron if he thinks that he gets to openly campaign for a candidate and then be taken seriously as a journalist when the campaign ends.

I seem to remember that at the beginning of his first term, Obama publicly tried to say that Fox News was not a news organization. He even excluded Fox from the press Corp.

So Trump wanted to have a meal with his family w/o being surrounded by those who openly hate him.

I like how they expect him to follow "established norms" but they completely threw out the "established norm" of ethical journalism long ago.

The hypocrisy is unbelievable.

They aren't in any position to say what anyone is doing is unacceptable.

Feeding debate questions to one candidate broke with well established norms too.

Agree. Act like real journalists and not the in the tank hacks that you got outed to be.

Elections have consequences, and they lost too. Screw them.

I don't understand what they're upset about. They're supposed to be invited to family dinners with the president elect? I'm confused.

When Trump does this it is that he is an idiotic President breaking some cardinal rules and warrants backlash.

When Obama does it, it is cute and so cool

I'm sorry.

No. That is NOT what they view themselves as and THIS election they openly admitted they didn't view themselves that way.
