'You Are Fake News!': Trump Refuses to Let CNN Reporter Ask Question

During his first press conference since the election, Donald Trump got into a back-and-forth exchange with CNN reporter Jim Acosta over the news organization's coverage of the unverified report -- first posted on BuzzFeed -- claiming Trump's deep ties with Russia.

While answering a question relating to his earlier tweet asking "Are we living in Nazi Germany," Trump specifically called out BuzzFeed as a "failing pile of garbage" and CNN for building up the story after BuzzFeed first released it.

When Trump finished his response, Acosta could be overheard trying to ask a question.

"Since you're attacking us can you give us a question? Since you are attacking our news organization can you give us a chance?" Acosta said.
"Not you, your organization is terrible," Trump responded, telling Acosta to be quiet. "She's asking a question, don't be rude."
Acosta however kept trying to ask his question, until Trump ended the exchange by declaring CNN to be "fake news."
"No, I'm not going to give you a question.

You are fake news!" he said.

So he should have acknowledged the guy and answered his gotcha question ?
It seems Trump is still not being a good boy and not letting the mainstream press set the agenda .
Oh well 4 years of CNN fake news to look forward to .

As a friend said, "It is the first true thing he has said so far." CNN is fake news just like the rest of main scream media but then Trump is a fake human being, so it kinda evens out.

As I have said many times before, democracy is a movie they play to entertain the sheeple while the ruling elite go about raping the planet unhampered by pesky carbon based units.

In my opinion CNN- Communists News Network and NBC is far behind. That is an acronym for Not Being Correct!

And of course left death and destruction in their wake . How do you like living in that old logging town of Nakusp , did the oldtimers leave any trees standing ?

Yes he did do well and Acosta was out of line to pursue the issue after being denied a question.
Why on earth would Trump answer any CNN questions when it is inevitable that his response would be misquoted?

You don't really believe the MSM propaganda machine will bring up any of that? Never gonna happen. Revealing the truth will get you fired if not dead in that industry.

CNN has covered itself with ignominy in the Presidential Campaign and the Trump transition, abandoning even the appearance of objectivity.

Here's Trump's point. CNN used an Intelligence Briefing to Trump.. which included a footnote, a head's up, on potential slander, of some rumours that the Russians had some surveillance on Trump misconduct at the 2013 Miss Universe Pageant in Moscow which could be used to influence Trump policy. Trump denies that any such material exists, or any attempt has been made by Russia to blackmail him.

That info has been out there for a while, investigated and thoroughly discredited. BUT CNN used the fact that it was included in a Briefing, which apparently had been leaked by Intelligence Sources, by prominence and phrasing to imply these reports were TRUE.

Tump's Press Secretary called CNN on this vastly irresponsible and perjorative manipulation of fake news, which was sourced to notoriously unreliable Buzzfeed, to cast aspersion on Trump's policies vis a vis Putin and Russia.

Their WH Correspondent, Jim Acosta, then went into a screaming, hysterical tantrum demanding the President take his question in the news conference, ditching any sense of decorum and etiquette. CNN spent the rest of the day trying to justify itself... which even the Liberal Mainstream Media had to label as outright calumny and negligence on their part.

CNN has turned itself into an organ of the outer antiTrump finge of the Democratic Party Establishment.. and has lost all credibility as an honest broker of news. Its a scandal mongerer, nothing more. It's just garbage, an embarrassment to all legitimate journalists.

Frankly Trump's blunt, forceful, honest demeanor in Press Conferences is a breath of fresh from the niceties and conventions that have characterised them for decades for both Parties.

He has no obligation to answer any questions or grant any interviews. The press have developed a sense of entitlement that politicians and public figures owe them something to enhance their industry. The MSM stopped being true news agencies a long time ago when ratings became more important than getting a factual story and in doing that gave up any rights to ask questions or be taken seriously. I think it is great he refused to perpetuate their garbage. I hope he continues to refuse to have anything to do with all agencies who refuse to take their job of reporting the truth seriously. There are lots of stories for their 'National Enquirer' news reporting in Hollywood, Washington deserves real journalists and real journalism.

Hehehehe....Trumpites are losing it!!!

Have you realized you are boring and irrelevant yet? ROFLMAO!!!
