Steve Bannon Tells NY Times The Media Should 'Keep Its Mouth Shut'
Steve Bannon, the Breitbart News-chairman-turned-White-House-chief-strategist, said in a Wednesday interview that the media "is the opposition party" for President Trump and should "keep its mouth shut."
“The media should be embarrassed and humiliated and keep its mouth shut and just listen for awhile,” he said in an interview with the New York Times.
“I want you to quote this,” he said. “The media here is the opposition party. They don’t understand this country."
Bannon railed against "the elite media," whose failure to predict Trump's election he called "a humiliating defeat that they will never wash away." He told the Times that no "mainstream media" journalists who reported on Trump's campaign were "fired or terminated," apparently suggesting that they should have been, and decried them as "outright activists of the Clinton campaign."
He did not name any specific members of the press in that diatribe, according to the report.
Bannon also dismissed questions about White House press secretary Sean Spicer's contentious relationship with the press. The Times noted Bannon initiated a phone call in order to talk up Spicer.
"Are you kidding me?" he told the Times. "We think that’s a badge of honor."
He singled out the Washington Post and New York Times as examples of the media outlets he said missed the Trump phenomenon, and said that the New York Times in particular should be "absolutely ashamed and humiliated" for its coverage of Trump's candidacy.
Despite all that vitriol, Bannon told the newspaper he has read the New York Times for most of his adult life.

They are building this country into Russia. They are trying to shut down all forms of media outside of what they put out. -
This is actually a huge problem. Suppression of the press is dangerous.
-
Yes suppressing shills like Bill Nye and Tamy Lohren is dangerous

When the media says Michael brown was a thug and twist the truth, you ? up in arms with 20 threads saying the media ain't ? , now someone tells the same media (who lies to people in their face and obfuscate the truth and it was said by a white dude, now you same hypocrites running back to the media.....smh

"Steve Bannon Tells NY Times The Media Should 'Keep Its Mouth Shut'"
Lol but what if they actually did?
What if the media reported NOTHING to the people about national politics or the president AT ALL....but reported on everything else....
like if ALL media did a TOTAL blackout on Trump and his cabinet as if they no longer existed.
When members approach reporters and leak stories the media responds that they are not interested.... -
