Priebus on media: 'We're not going to sit around and take it'
By Rebecca Savransky - 01/22/17 09:23 AM EST
White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus on Sunday blasted the media, accusing reporters of trying to delegitimize the presidency of Donald Trump.
"The point is not the crowd size. The point is the attacks and the attempts to delegitimize this president in one day," Priebus said on "Fox News Sunday."
"And we're not going to sit around and take it."
Priebus's comments come a day after the president railed on the media and accused reporters of lying about the crowd sizes at his inauguration.

Wow. Yet another example of the Trump administration doing exactly what "conservatives " have asked their leaders to do for years.

Hugo Chavez wasn't the first to need a perpetual enemy and its becoming clear that he won't be the last.

And yet, they will be pilloried for it in this forum. As in post #3.

You don't speak for conservatives.
Your little vendetta against the media is doing absolutely nothing aside from getting your panties in a wad on the floor.

This would be a GOOD START! Though, I trust Preibus about as far as I could throw him.
Trump Should End Government Funding of NPR’s Biased News
Mike Gonzalez / @Gundisalvus / January 21, 2017 / comments
This year, the Center for Public Broadcasting, which funds NPR and other media entities, is receiving $445 million of taxpayer money. (Photo: John Greim John Greim Photography/Newscom)
Is National Public Radio’s (NPR) description of an Obama urban directive as something that merely “links [government] funding to desegregation” fake news?
Well, it’s so slanted that if you had no prior knowledge of the program, and heard that depiction of it, you would just say to yourself, “sounds good to me.”
But to many conservatives, including the man that President Donald Trump has nominated to be the new secretary of housing and urban development, Ben Carson, the Orwellian “Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing” is a tortured interpretation of the Fair Housing Act.
To them, coercing suburbs to build high-density, low-income housing in order to reflect the national racial makeup—even when there isn’t a hint of discrimination—is an outrageous attempt to pursue the liberal dream of closing down the suburbs by changing their nature.
To Stanley Kurtz, writing in National Review, “the regulation amounts to back-door annexation, a way of turning America’s suburbs into tributaries of nearby cities.”
Carson, writing in The Washington Times, said the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing directive reminded him of the “failed socialist experiments of the 1980s.” That view was not reflected in NPR reporter Pam Fessler’s unflattering piece on Carson following his nomination. The piece referred positively to the housing program as “stepped up enforcement of the 1968 Fair Housing Act, which is intended to reduce segregation.”
Like other examples of NPR’s treatment of Cabinet appointments and other domestic and international news, Fessler’s report echoed almost exclusively the worldview of the left.
This is a characteristic that is shared to some degree by the Public Broadcasting System, NPR’s television equivalent.
And this attribute will become a problem for the tax-payer funded Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which oversees both NPR and CBS, as the incoming Trump administration looks to make cuts in the budget—as it should.
To be sure, NPR and PBS will have the odd National Review editorial writer or conservative scholar on as guest commentators once in a while. But that is not the issue.
The issue is that a conservative philosophy and outlook doesn’t inform the way the news is written and presented the way, say, Mother Jones seems to do.
We saw what happens when a journalist “gets” both sides. Fox News’ Chris Wallace received bipartisan praise for the way he moderated the last presidential debate in October.

What!..hardly..I've waited for 16 years to hear these words!

"And we're not going to sit around and take it."
Of course not, you'll lie, spin, and dissemble like your predessors in Venezuela and Iraq.
"There are no American tanks in Baghdad."

And they're still meaningless words.

You don't speak for conservatives.
Nor do you or does any individual. And I've never called myself conservative. I'm more of a live-and-let-live type of libertarian, living in and dealing with the real world.
Your little vendetta against the media is doing absolutely nothing aside from getting your panties in a wad on the floor.
You are quite the fabricator/fabulist. I've conducted no vendettas and I'll leave the panty wearing to you.

Yup. Its always the same. There is always an enemy to blame so the people don't notice local failures.

Not you, Pompeia, not you. But look at some of the other responses.

Unless Trump actually intends to DO something about the media its all just playground namecalling that should be beneath the White house.

It is wonderful to behold @truth_seeker !

That's why they call it, "The Bully Pulpit."

Great, don't take it, but stop with the stupid lying. There's absolutely no need for it.

Dee Snider and Frank Zappa offered excellent testimony. Clips are on YouTube.

Except he's taking the "bully" part too seriously.
He has no idea what he's in for if he continues to treat the media this way.
-

Bingo.
-
I find that comment hilarious coming from Priebus after the last 7 years of his stewardship of the GOP.
He certainly walked on eggshells and took it from the media quite handily with glee, I might add.
-

This.
If Trump is successful, the media will become even more irrelevant and shrill in the eyes of the public

The Romans had a phrase for this strategy: bread and circuses.
