Trump isn't at war with the press. Just certain segments of it, he is winning and given time CNN will be reduced to national enquirer status.
Thanks for the warning. Keep priming the pump.

So now they are going from propaganda organization to threatening the POTUS with blackmail.

Is that right?

If you think not, cite an example relevant to the DNC/Podesta leaks where veracity of the material was seriously challenged.

If you've lived abroad or travelled a great deal you know what's on in most airports, hotels, etc. They can shape opinion. And President Trump would do well to focus his fights on inefficiency, the war against ISIL and other VEOs, forming a coherent foreign policy for the first time since the Cold War, etc than trying to bring the media to heel. I know that's a pet project of a lot of his strongest political supporters, but it's a losing battle.


Maybe the first fight in taking the country back is the fight for peoples minds and thoughts. You have a press organization openly admitting to pushing their own opinion/agenda. IMO this is a war and Trump is fighting it on all fronts. The media needs checks and balances just like the government does.

Shouldn't CNN be reporting news and not "shaping perception"?


shouldnt Trump not tell his Press Secretary to lie to the American public.

Again, it was a petty and small shot across the bow, but CNN and CNNi are taken together the largest News Networks in the world.
and if they are denied access to the WH, and the most important leader (and human being) in the entire world. . .they will pretty much cease to be.

What's a little white lie amongst friends. You're making too much of this. You don't get to take the high ground when you are a pathological liar as well.

A bit unprofessional, but you're missing the broader point. No president has ever won a war with the press.


Donald Trump, a complete political outsider who was at war with a large segment of his own political party and the press at the same time and was massively outspent in the election, winning the presidential election really serves to invalidate your statement.

When was the last time you watched CNN?

This morning, probably.

CNN would have been treating Trump the exact same way whether he talked shite about them or not. Let's not be naive.

Yes he has.

The entire MSM was against him all last year. Did you watch the debates? They tried their hardest and he still won.

I guess CNN's experience in Pyongyang explains how they cover Democrats in the States.
