Donald Trump Meeting with TV News Execs Olive Branch or 'I Told Ya So'
TMZ ^ | November 21, 2016 | Staff

Posted on 11/21/2016 9:35:05 AM PST by COUNTrecount

Donald Trump is meeting with his harshest critics Monday and the people who arguably got him elected ... the media.

Sources in Trump's camp tell us ... he's meeting with all the network heads Monday at 1 PM ET, and Trump will not hold back. We're told he wants to talk to them about how they got it so wrong during the campaign. TV execs will show up today, and Tuesday he'll do the same with the NY Times execs and others.

Trump's end game for the meeting is unclear, but we're told crow will be served.

He should tell them he is going to implement an affirmative action program for the press. No organization will get press credentials or any access unless they have at least 40% Republican/Conservatives in the editorial staff, management, ownership, production staff, etc....

The President of NBC News who’s meeting with Trump, Deborah Turness, used to head a news operation in the UK (ITV) and apparently is not a US citizen.

She taking a job from an American citizen?

The Fairness Doctrine is contrary to the First Amendment and was used against conservative broadcasters by JFK, LBJ and Richard Nixon.

Its wrong and the Fairness Doctrine was opposed by Ronald Reagan and died when he was POTUS in the 1980’s.

An image of Capone played by DeNiro with a baseball bat just flashed in my mind.

TRUMP IS GOING NUCLEAR!!

Speaking of “nuclear”, wait for Trump to re-start progress for a underground repository of spent nuclear fuel at Yucca Mountain in, wait for it, Harry Reid’s home state of Nevada.

Harry got this derailed for years, but still can be put back on track. It was just another duly enacted law that the lawless Bammy and the ass-kicked-by-his-own-exercise-equipment Dingy Harry evaded.

Any olive branch will wither before it is accepted. I think Trump understands that. Maybe he will be explaining some legal pitfalls of wilfull misrepresentation and repertorial prevarication.

See, if it was me, and it’s not, and I were DJT which I’m not, I would just generally ignore them and continue to drop hints over time as to the appallingly low credibility of the MSM and the shameful drooling they performed over the cult of Clinton.

The theory being: Positioned and indoctrinated as they are; and desperate to regain the credibility (I guess) they think they had, the same kind of needling Trump does to the left in general would cause them to get even more crazy; so it would perpetuate the thing we think caused them to lose their credibility in the first place.

I mean, it has to be an “Art of War” kind of thing, when your enemy (and make no mistake the media is now and from here forward will ALWAYS be his enemy) is busy committing suicide or sabotaging themselves, do not interfere.

Strongly relating Americans’ real and healthy concerns about the too few press/media owners, unaccountability and covertly coordinating with a political party and other media are a good start for me.

This is a LIBERAL CLASSIC. Thoroughly enjoyable.. language and all.
 
Hang on – it is intense - Forgive the language but EVERY Democrat and Liberal needs to hear what this far far left liberal has to say.   He is right on target with what we have seen thus far since the election.
 
This epic rant explains everything 

Dear Self-Reliant Thinker,
 
Jonathan Pie is famous for his (foul-mouthed) rants. And this time he's taken on his own side: The Left. In a few damning minutes he explains why the Left lost.

Be warned. British TV does not care about swearing in the same way that we do here. If you are remotely upset by foul language then DO NOT WATCH THIS. I am sharing it because, vulgar as he is, he is 100% right. 

Dear Self-Reliant Thinker

What is greatest in life?

To crush the liberals, drive them before you, and hear the lamentations of their media peeps.
