There was a post in the afternoon from “Gateway Pundit”-Jim Hoft here on FR asserting that Scaramucci trashed the mainstream media when he appeared before them at the White House.

I haven’t watched or listened to the MSM in the USA, but I heard radio reports from CBC Radio’s “World at Six” and the BBC World Service.

CBC said Scaramucci was nice to the media and seemed to be trying to gain favor with them “blowing a kiss” at the end of his appearance before the cameras.

BBC World Service also characterized Scaramucci’s appointment as communications director as an attempt to have better relations with the media.

#Fake News comes from many directions it looks like to me, not just from the MSM.

I supported Donald J. Trump expecting authentic conservative policies and opposition to the MSM, without the kiss ups.

The “blowing a kiss” was to Acosta of CNN, and Scarmucci said that is the ONLY thing Acosta will get from him in the next 8 years.

Who cares what his views on the issues are? It’s not his job to form policy. I don’t care how my plumber feels about current events as long as the toilet doesn’t back up.

I watched his press conference and he was great. I wish he were the Press Secretary, although Sarah Huckabee Sanders did okay. Whenever someone asked Scaramouche a question he didn’t want to answer, he said he didn’t want to answer it and moved on. I wondered: Why don’t they all do that?

Scaramucci did rebuke the Media—forcefully—during this press conference.

He repeatedly refused to adopt the Media's biased characterizations about the White House being in "disarray", or needing to "get back on course".

Reporters kept trying to inject their negative Democrat spin into their questions, and he repudiated their propaganda each time.

He was very sharp, IMHO. With him running the White House Communications Office and Sarah Huckabee Sanders as Press Secretary, I'm optimistic moving forward.

The Media really is pathetic. Judging by their demeanor and—again—spin, they acted as if Sean Spicer was the first Presidential Press Secretary ever to resign his position during a Presidential administration.

The Media is a transparent laughingstock to any sentient observer. They are so blatantly biased—and crarrying water for the Swamp—that it's absolutely impossible to miss.

The Media has utterly lost all of the subtlety that it used to employ in order to be effective propagandists for the Democrats. In being so transparently partisan, and by relentlessly putting a negative spin on everything they possibly can regarding this administration, they have truly become the "emperor with no clothes".

Consequently, the American people are increasingly turning from them, both in terms of viewership and in terms of giving the Media any credence with regard to their narrative.

The Democrats and Media (but I repeat myself) have become a pathetic spectacle—almost worthy of pity—and can be depended upon to distort objective reality in the most clumsy partisan manner humanly possible. They no longer possess any nuance whatsoever, and, as such, they increasingly flail in search of any fake narrative they think they can make stick. In doing so, they have become an awkward sideshow which can be relied upon only to continue sounding its own death knell...
