WASHINGTON: Donald Trump sat down for an interview on Thursday with Fox News, a network he has consistently praised, as his chief strategist used an interview with the New York Times to lash out at the mainstream American media, which he said was “the opposition party” to the current administration.
“I want you to quote this,” chief strategist Steve Bannon told the Times. “The media here is the opposition party. They don’t understand this country. They still do not understand why Donald Trump is the president of the United States.”

I don’t recall Trump has “consistently praised” Fox News. ‘Journalists’ making up stuff again.

The MSM does not realize what a significant contribution they made to Donald Trump’s election victory. And they are continuing to help raise public support for him.

There is also opposition to the Trump revolution coming from the MSM’s evil twin, the Main Stream Business Media(MSBM).

The MSM is essentially the propaganda arm of the Democratic National Committee--has been for decades. That's why when President Trump can use social media to bypass their biases, he'll do it.
