USA under presidency of a know-nothing, neo-fascist, racist, sexist, mobbed-up narcissist!!

[Peter Lemkin]

Yes, most MSM reporting [not all] is fake news by commission, or faked news by omission. I doubt Trump has problems with CNN's standard all War coverage or other coverage, only with the fact they were one of the first outlets to report the leaked intelligence report against him. Its all about him in his 'world'...the rest of the Country and World don't really exist other than in how they play into his life. :: He is going to ban or ignore any media outlet that crosses him. They will certainly do a 'number' on him in return. It is a grade-school food fight, and very dumbed-down interactions. It is all downhill from here.....::

Trump shuts down CNN reporter
Donald Trump refused to answer a question from a CNN reporter during his press conference at Trump Tower in New York on Wednesday, as retribution for the CNN story that said he and Barack Obama had been presented with claims that Russia had compromising financial and personal information about the president-elect.
"Not you. Your organization is terrible," said Trump, when CNN's senior White House correspondent Jim Acosta tried to ask a question.
"Since you're attacking us, can you give us a question? Mr president-elect, since you're attacking our news organization, can you give us a chance?" asked Acosta.
"I'm not going to give you a question. You are fake news," said the president-elect.
Trump was furious after BuzzFeed published an unverified and salacious 35-page report yesterday claiming to show connections between Trump and Russia, usingCNN's earlier story (which mentions the report without revealing its full contents or publishing it) as justification for publishing. BuzzFeed's decision triggered a storm over media ethics.

Trump repeatedly criticized CNN and BuzzFeed throughout his press conference at Trump Tower in New York on Wednesday, calling BuzzFeed a "left-wing blog" and a "failing pile of garbage" for publishing the unverified report. CNN later said that its decision to publish "carefully sourced reporting" on unverified intelligence documents concerning Donald Trump was "vastly different than BuzzFeed's decision to publish unsubstantiated memos".

His attack on CNN can be viewed as somewhat ironic.
Jeff Zucker, president of CNN Worldwide, was the head of NBC Entertainment when it launched The Apprentice, and the success of that and the subsequent spin-off The Celebrity Apprentice helped Zucker become head of NBC. Then CNNgave Trump millions in free publicity thanks to its round-the-clock coverage of his presidential campaign.
In Wednesday's press conference, Trump also slammed intelligence agencies for supposedly leaking the report to news agencies.

"I think it was disgraceful that the intelligence agencies allowed any information that turned out to be so false and fake" to get out, said Trump.
"As far as BuzzFeed, which is a failing pile of garbage writing it, I think they're going to suffer the consequences, and they already are," said Trump.
Many news outlets, including the Guardian, published articles based on the report, without publishing it in full or giving its full details because they are unverified.
The Guardian reported that the FBI applied for a warrant from the foreign intelligence surveillance (Fisa) court last summer so that it could monitor four members of Trump's team suspected of contact with Russian officials, but the Fisa court rejected the application.

Russia

Trump conceded that Russia hacked the DNC and Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, but, Trump said, a lot of other people try to hack the US too. Trump said Putin would stop such behavior when he, Trump, is president. Trump ignored a question about whether anyone in his campaign had had contacts with Moscow during the campaign. And he dismissed reports that Russia wanted him to win, saying he'll be tougher on Russia than Clinton would have been.

Business

Trump claimed to have severed himself from his business interests, but this section of the news conference was a particularly troubling mess. Trump said that as president, he is not subject to a ban on conflicts-of-interest at any level, he appeared to assert. He served up a lawyer who made the same assertion. Then the lawyer described a "wall" to be erected between President Trump and the Trump Organization, which is to be managed going forward by Trump's sons. The lawyer said the Trump Organization would turn over hotel receipts from foreign governments to the US treasury. Trump said a big stack of manila folders next to his lectern contained documents in which he signed control of his organization over to his sons. But who knows what was in those folders; there was no mechanism described for transparency as the supposed restructure takes place, and it's unclear what window the public can hope to have on President Trump scrupulously not advising his sons about the Trump Organization.

Intelligence

Finally, Trump suggested that the intelligence community had fabricated documents describing Russia obtaining compromising information about him. He said "sick people," his "opponents", had assembled the documents, and "garbage" "fake news" media outlets had disseminated them. He rejected outright claims in the documents of contacts between his campaign and Russia, and of him behaving badly in Moscow. He said he always warned people traveling with him about cameras in foreign hotels and that in any case he is a germaphobe.
