Gingrich Calls For Trump To Break The Press

CNN has shown extraordinary bias. It deserves its demotion to tabloid status. This trend started long before Trump. The media only has itself to blame for its irrelevance.
The press broke itself.

Bias? Please provide "credible" proof that can be verified as factual. They gave Trump a fortune in free air time.
Free air time? Unreal. The only reason CNN aired anything on Trump was and is in an effort to tear him down while at the same time gushing over Obama. Need I mention CNN itself was counting Hillary's electoral win a full week before the election. Then when they had their asses handed to them in defeat they cried popular vote, it was the Russians on and on. The term liberal media is quite real and deserved.
 
Newt Gingrich: Trump Should Use The CNN Confrontation As An Excuse To Break The Press

Newt Gingrich, a prominent supporter of President-elect Donald Trump and a Fox News contributor, would like to shatter the influence of an “adversarial” press. And he thinks Trump’s press conference confrontation with CNN reporter Jim Acosta has given the incoming administration the opportunity to dramatically reshape White House press interactions to favor journalists who will treat the president-elect more favorably.

During Trump’s January 11 presser, he lashed out at CNN and demanded the network apologize for a recent report on his alleged ties to Russia, and Acosta repeatedly called out, seeking to ask a question in response. Trump replied by calling CNN “terrible,” castigating Acosta for being “rude,” and declaring, “I’m not going to give you a question. You are fake news!” Sean Spicer, who will serve as Trump’s White House press secretary,subsequently told Acosta that he would be removed if he continued to press for a question, and Spicer later demanded that the reporter apologize to the president-elect.

Team Trump’s efforts seem intended to both damage the credibility of CNN and cow other networks into shying away from similarly critical journalism -- as Gingrich put it, to “shrink and isolate” the network. But the Fox News contributor wants the incoming administration to go even further and use the incident as an excuse to “close down the elite press.”

Gingrich laid out this strategy during an interview on Sean Hannity’s Fox News program, one of the most pro-Trump venues available. He urged Spicer to learn “a couple of big lessons” from the incident. First and foremost, he suggested that Acosta be banned from reporting on Trump events for 60 days “as a signal, frankly, to all the other reporters that there are going to be real limits” for proper behavior.

Break the press? This reminds me of the old Soviet Union and other dictatorships. Why would any sane patriotic American want to "break the press"?
Good. They deserve it. Instead of reporting the news, they tried to influence an election in the most blatant of ways.
You lefties are climbing all over yourselves blaming the Ruskies for your loss. Meanwhile right here under your out of joint noses, the main stream media was doing the same thing at your behest. Though they tried anything and everything, they failed in their quest to influence the election.
People like that reporter for CNN get everything they deserve.
Its about time someone decided to put these arrogant pricks in their place.
 
Why is Trump ragging on CNN? CNN was vindicated. It has been proven that FBI Director Comey gave Trump a personal briefing on the perversion dossier.

That can't be dignified with an answer.

Michelle Malkin, Glowzelle, Between To Ferns. Anyone who applies for credentials and meets the criteria. There is no reason to limit the media to a handfull of anti american leftists.

Do you really want to be fed fake news and lies 24/7?
We already are.

Not me. I get my news from a variety of sources - but certainly not from NaziCon sources such as Alex Jones, Breitbart, and Fox News.
So only your preferred sources are the only legit news outlets. I see.
 
The Press has raped Gingrich a time or two. Yes, break the press. After all, if the press thinks it can make or break people it should welcome a little confrontation.

If the press can't stand a little competition, they can go out of business. CNN is almost there as it is.
CNN's viewership has declined over 50% since 2010

The dossier was a packet of lies. CNN went down a bad road by hitching its wagon to buzzfeed.com....
This notion of the briefing means nothing. Its a another stupid narrative put forth by liberals..
 
Much butthurt I continue to sense in you.

When Trump violates his Constitutional restraints, I'll be the first to raise issue. Until then, he can run his affairs as he likes. Your whining not only means nothing, it's rather amusing.

Cry like a bitch you should.

CNN simply reported the news. Christopher Steele sent his dossier to the FBI. That was news.

No.CNN reported the contents of the dossier AS news.
CNN took buzzfeed's word that the contents of the dossier were accurate.

CNN is fake news. Get over it Lakhota.
One need to look no further than Cuomo or Anderson to understand that CNN took a hard turn to the Left, years ago.

Consider this a Trickle-Down Market Correction.

Hell, even MSNBC is doing a better job covering its tracks and feverishly scrambling to reimpose some measure of objectivity, before Inauguration Day.

When CNN or any other news outlet knowingly reports a story that is untrue, inaccurate or both, they are deemed purveyors of fake news.

What stories did CNN report that were untrue?
Any story, they stated trump would lose! 100%

The Press?

If the press behaves like the Democrat Media Complex it should be treated as such.

You can not be biased and expect to be treated like a respectable media outlet.
