Trump Slams BuzzFeed As "Failing Pile Of Garbage", Tells CNN "You Are Fake News"

Tyler Durden's picture

In an epic (mutual) trolling between president-elect Trump on one hand and BuzzFeed and CNN, on the other, the two media organizations which issued yesterday's unsubstantiated report about Russia having compromising information on the president-elect, Trump first addressed the question of why he referred to Nazi Germany, saying it is "disgraceful" that intelligence communities would allow the release of any information. "That's something Nazi Germany would have done and did do," he says.

He then unleashed on Buzzfeed which alone published the 35-page memo behind the Russian allegations, saying "Buzzfeed which is a failing pile of garbage... will suffer the consequences

And then, in an even more stunning episode, Trump slammed CNN reporter Jim Acosta, who he also called out during the presser over their report on a two-page synopsis they claim was presented to Trump.

With Trump looking to call on other reporters, Jim Acosta yelled out, “Since you are attacking us, can you give us a question?”

“Not you,” Trump said. “Your organization is terrible!”

Acosta pressed on, “You are attacking our news organization, can you give us a chance to ask a question, sir?” Trump countered by telling him “don’t be rude.” 

“I’m not going to give you a question,” Trump responded. “Don't be rude. I’m not going to give you a question. You are fake news!” Trump responded, before calling on a reporter from Breitbart.

 

A snubbed Jim Acosta then tweeted the following: "Fortunately ABC's Cecilia Vega asked my question about whether any Trump associates contacted Russians. Trump said no."

 

Trump also had some "kind words" for the BBC:

These exchanges followed an initial statement by Trump spokesman Sean Spicer who said that "for all the talk lately about 'fake news,' this political witch hunt by some in the media...is frankly shameful & disgraceful.... Highly irresponsible for a left-wing blog... to drop highly salacious and flat out false information on the Internet."

Following this, we expect the war between Trump and the media in general, or at least CNN in particular, to reach biblical proportions.

Malicious falsehood or injurious falsehood is a tort. It is a lie that was uttered with malice, that is, the utterer knew it was false or would cause damage or harm. Malicious falsehood is a false statement made maliciously that causes damage to the claimant. This is so disgusting of these people to do to our President.

This was a beautiful moment...CNN and Buzzfeed have been two of the loudest critics of fake news and just got busted cmmitting an atrocious act of faux journalism.  Trump not only called them out, he dressed them down in front of the world and told them there would be consequences.

Sell your CNN shares!!

Trump acted adroitly to stick them with the Nazi label.  Need lots of internet memes about CNN logo/swastika mashups, etc.

Reminded of a line in a film from way back by an emperor's namesake:

"I have moments."

(First to name that film gets a gold star).

Total fucking ownage.

Glenn Greenwald, no friend of Trump, did an excellent longer piece in The Intercept: The Deep State Goes to War with President-Elect, Using Unverified Claims, as Democrats Cheer.

Even those who don't like Trump can see that Democrats and their media mouthpieces are embarrassing themselves pathetically.

This is the media's own fault, and I LOVE IT!  He has absolutely no reason to be friendly or cordial with them.   They rail against him every day, declared themselves enemy combatants, but they have never EVER been in a battle themselves.   They are used to gov't officials timidly seeking their approval, but when you know that no matter what you do, you will never get it, you learn you have nothing to lose by using their own cameras against them, and Trump is doing that masterfully.  It has been said the media should keep politicians in check, but the reality has become the media has given the state and liberals more power, and has never been held accountable themselves.   They now know that if they screw up, they will be blasted for it on the international floor.  FINALLY!

During the nomination process, Fox hated Trump and I'm hoping he remembers that.

We may be witnessing the beginning of the end for the collegiality of oligarchical trusteeship which has overseen the office of the president having been in force(d) since the days of Roosevelt.

Teddy Roosevelt, President of the United States from 1901 to 1909 (not FDR who was beholden to New England political elite interests).  Wilson succeeded TR, creating the FED.

I remember Carnegie was dealing with or trying to get Teddy on that bandwagon. I heard that Teddy got some spending money to go hunt in Africa for a year.

Seems like it would be easy to have a conflict of interest on these things, and even have friends front run trading on who the Donald slams and who he praises.

It's not his job to pick winners or losers.  Making America great again means making all our companies the best they can be.

So you would be ok if your local news station reported to everyone in your home town, that you hired a bunch of prostitutes to go into a hotel room and Piss on a bed that you thought someone you supposedly don't like slept in? All that, and never called you to verify the info before releasing to the public.  You are ok with that? Truth is CNN was a failed company years ago, ask Tedd Turner why he sold it, he saw the end comming back then....

How is he picking winners and losers?

Speaking of a malicious sack of shit:

Judge Rules Acquitted Officers In The Freddie Gray Case Can Sue Marilyn Mosby

The Baltimore Sun reports that Judge Marvin J. Garbis ruled that “claims including malicious prosecution, defamation, and invasion of privacy can move forward against Mosby and Assistant Sheriff Samuel Cogen, who wrote the statement of probable cause.”

Randy Quaid? Clem Miller  of "The Long Riders", one of the best westerns ever made? Raised in my estimation as much as cunts like Clooney have fallen, so thanks for that link, Max. Just imagine if all the conservatives currently living in fear of unemployment in their underground Hollywood bunkers united publically and said fuck you to the libfucktards who dominate the film industry in LA? Wouldn't that be nice?

 

Just to give a sample of how fucked up Streep's mass of cohorts are - Steven Spielberg (uber pro-Israel) gave a million dollars to the Dems last year, only for Obama to fuck that country up the arse at the UN. I wonder if the dumb cunt asked for a refund when that resolution went through.

So will CNN start disappearing from airport TV monitors, et al, across this land?

As long as they don't replace it with Fox News. You have to wonder if any viable credible neutral news outlet can possibly emerge from this shit show.

The most powerful propaganda is adherence to verifiable facts without cherry picking. Can the American MSM regain that cast-off skill? Do they even want to?

Massive failure of the American press to simply tell the truth and draw fact-based conclusions may tragically encourage more Americans to rely on RT.com to get a less distorted presentation.

This especially holds true for Americans repulsed by the MSM offering themselves as uncritical megaphones for endless war-mongering.

Jerky Miester's picture

Hell, replace them with RT. (Russia Today)  I've gotten more information from them than any US news outlet.

One America News, and especially The Tipping Point with Liz Wheeler.  Straight up.
