Strategist uses interview with New York Times to bash media, while president conducts freewheeling interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity.
“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.”
Trump aide Steve Bannon calls mainstream media 'opposition party'
OH MY!!! How can this guy be SO out of Touch! What a Dummy! Why does he and Trump and all Trump people and supporters have such a DUMB IDEA!!!
WAKE UP people!
Here is what Obama thought about the Fox News!
The Obama Administration began with lofty promises of being "the most transparent administration in history."
Instead it ended up setting a record, by the Associated Press's count, for denying the most Freedom of Information Act requests.
As the administration's popularity began tumbling early into its first year, the Obama White House declared war on Fox News. The White director of communications, Anita Dunn, warned they would henceforth treat Fox News "like an opponent," insisting, "we don’t need to pretend that this is the way that legitimate news organizations behave."
The Obama administration made good on that threat.
Soon thereafter, the administration sought to deny Fox News' participation in executive branch news-making events -- which only failed after other networks admirably refused to participate if Fox News were excluded.
As you'll see in the montage above, President Obama blamed Fox News and talk radio for virtually every problem his administration encountered, warning in his waning days that these "domestic propagandists" were far more damaging to America than any interference from hostile powers like Russia.
Why It'll Be Hard for Trump to Surpass Obama's Record of Chilling Press Freedom
So which is it FOLKS???
