He went on to mock Trump reminding that panel “This is the first president-elect we've ever had who is in the Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame. -----------LOL I didn't know that!

Looks like they are following Mark Levin’s lead.

Congrats Mark.

Glad I passed up CRTV.

Yes, by all means, call Trump a Strongman. Then point out how different he is from Obama, who was... a Weakman?

>>“What you do in an authoritarian regime is you delegitimize the press,”

The press delegitimized the press. Perhaps someone should read them the story of the boy who cried wolf...and then explain it to them in painstaking detail.

In other words media need to continue to smear the President elect before he does anything.

Where is the fairness in that?

CNN is just a coven of troublemakers. They should be hopeful Trump does not really apply painful pressure on them soon so they remember that the election is over.

Who really cares? We all know what CNN does. I think they are competing with MSNBC for the most Trump lies. Fun to see their ratings drop.

I was thinking more along the lines of ‘patriotic American with balls’ but whatever floats their boat, or rather their sinkin ship.

All it will do is further diminish the credibility of the media. To the extent they have any left.

They certainly needn’t wait until he actually becomes POTUS. I sure most of their scathing critiques are already written. What he actually does is irrelevant-they just don’t like him!!
