While speaking at the Justice Department on Friday President Donald Trump made some outlandish comments about the news media, claiming that CNN and MSNBC are arms of the Democratic Party and said that what they are doing is somehow illegal.

"And I believe that CNN and MSNBC, who literally write 97.6% bad about me are political arms of the Democrat Party and in my opinion they're really corrupt and they're illegal, what they do is illegal," Trump said.

He may be wrong about them being illegal but he's dead nuts on about CNN and MSDNC otherwise.

And this isn't a 1st Amendment issue anymore than CNN and MSDNC deliver honest "journalism"

Sucks to be you......

The outlandish part is that slew is posting links with trackers and shit. S/he's too stupid to strip that shit off the URL.

Turns out that when the Trump administration shuts off the government money to the lugenpresse like MSNBC, they start laying people off. It's regime media, and now that regime is out of power.

MSNBC bigwigs leaked layoffs plan in stunning gaffe — and staffer found grim ‘kill list’ morning of bloodbath

Bungling MSNBC bigwigs accidentally printed out details about the left-leaning network’s impending jobs bloodbath — and the top-secret document was found by a stunned staffer who leaked the details to co-workers, The Post has learned.

The production assistant stumbled across the “kill list” at MSNBC’s 30 Rock headquarters in midtown Manhattan shortly before the cuts were announced on Monday, Feb 24, sources close to the situation said.

printed ahead of the cuts.

The printed pages, which were viewed by The Post, laid out meetings to be held with workers and “talent” about their fate in ominously-dubbed “impact conversations,” the insiders said.

“On the Monday, management accidentally printed the list of people and teams getting fired or being made to reapply for their roles.” said one source close to the situation.

“Entire teams in primetime learned that they were getting fired from a printout that a PA found sitting on a printer.”

The screwup is the latest episode in MSNBC’s botched layoffs plans after Trump-bashing anchor Joy Reid and her staff learned they were about to be fired from a New York Times report on Sunday, Feb. 23.

The intended confidential memo reveals a callous play-by-play beginning Feb. 19 and leading up to the Feb. 24 massacre in which about 100 people were canned.

It includes a legal review with human resources, a talking-points script on the cuts and a scheduled pow-wow between NBCUniversal chair Mark Lazarus and NBC News Group chairman Cesar Conde.

MSNBC president Rebecca Kutler was also slated to discuss show cancellations, time changes and new job placements, according to the document.

MSNBC declined to comment.

On Feb. 24, the ratings-challenged network ended up firing staffers on “The Rachel Maddow Show,” and canceling programs hosted by Alex Wagner, Katie Phang, Jonathan Capehart, Ayman Mohyeldin and José Díaz-Balart.

The document revealed a packed day of back-to-back meetings with the above talent, in addition to others including on-air talking heads Alex Witt, Ana Cabrera, Jen Psaki and Richard Lui — who was referred to as “Tier 3 talent” despite having received Peabody and Emmy Awards during his time at CNN.

By the end of the day, MSNBC had posted 100 new jobs, and according to the document, the network intends to make all its new hires by April 7 and get them to start by April 14.

One network insider lashed out at the “absolute humiliation” of some staffers being asked to re-apply for their own positions.

Another brushed off the notion that employees might find new jobs at the embattled cable network.

“NBC and MSNBC always say employees can reapply for jobs after they’re laid off,” the person said. “For [MSNBC] lifers, it’s difficult because there are generally fewer postings for senior jobs.”

The overhaul is part of a plan by MSNBC parent Comcast to spin off the beleaguered left-wing network and other distressed cable properties.

Lazarus will head up the new entity, dubbed SpinCo.

Kutler, who was named interim president after Rashida Jones stepped down earlier this year and then had that label lifted last month, has been widely seen as an architect behind the remaking of the network.

“She was dealt a tough hand in essentially having to build out a new company with all of the changes,” said a network source. “She has had a rough start.”

One source said employees were caught off-guard by Monday’s mass culling after the New York Times reported a day earlier that Reid, host of the “ReidOut,” would be fired.

“Everyone thought the cuts were only affecting ‘ReidOut’ and a couple of other shows,” one source said.

Network star Rachel Maddow blasted her bosses on air for the changes – especially their decision to fire Reid – in what has been described by sources as a “polarizing” move.

“Management was pissed and talent was like, ‘relax Rachel’” said a source close to the situation.

What do you think? Post a comment.

While the dustup put the powerful anchor in the spotlight, others wondered if it also made her more vulnerable.

“Rachel made this big play to try and protect Joy, but then Rebecca fired her anyway,” the source told The Post.

He may or may not be wrong about the "illegal" part. I'd assume he would claim defamation, which you could certainly make an argument for, but he's sure as shit right about everything else in there.

Don't like someone... call them a fascist!!

Amazing how many left leaning entities “righted” themselves when Trump won and USAID was shut off.

So Trump doesn't have a 1st Amendment right to say that?

[Frankie the Fink]

The words "in my opinion" used in Trump's comment are not the President using his authority to suppress the media, which he hasn't done....soooo hard to understand.

Even President's can have opinions.

Another swing and a miss.

Hey dumbass, if you can't identify a statement of opinion at your age, you really are a ****ing retard.

Well, to be fair, democrats are so used to taking opinions as news that they can hardly differentiate between the two any longer.

Yes. Yes, it does.


Most democrats are so stupid, they actually take what Rachael Madcow spews as "news".

[BRUIZER]

Yes let us all know when the Trump administration orders social media to suppress ACTUAL TRUTHFUL NEWS!

Anyone could post-up multiple links showing the fake msm spewing the same exact progressive narritives, word for word.
But anyone here with a functional brain has realized the overwhelming majority of legacy news has been corrupted for decades now.

President Trump was 100% correct...as usual.

No, last time I checked, defamation was against the law. They labeled him a domestic terrorist, said he was in collusion with Russia, and prosecuted him for a real estate practice everybody who owns property in this country is 'guilty' of.

**** Slewfoot.

The only upside is that Slewfoot has gone full-tilt-scream at the sky since the election. We'll see if he can go the next 8-12 years without blowing a gasket.
