Nice to see a real friend of Freedom of the press. Well, I guess he didn't mean Breitbart.

WASHINGTON — Stephen K. Bannon, President Trump’s chief White House strategist, laced into the American press during an interview on Wednesday evening, arguing that news organizations had been “humiliated” by an election outcome few anticipated, and repeatedly describing the media as “the opposition party” of the current administration.

“The media should be embarrassed and humiliated and keep its mouth shut and just listen for a while,” Mr. Bannon said during a telephone call.

This is fucking getting unreal. The press should shut up? The press??

If he weren't such an egomaniacal twat, I'd almost think Trump is deliberately trying to spark enough outrage that he can resign with the claim that his enemies are making his job impossible.

That was one of the notions about his candidacy--that it was a publicity stunt that would garner him a bunch of attention and help promote his brand. This motherfucker isn't going anywhere until he's forcibly removed.
