He needs to get back on his meds. The White House is full of crazy people, seriously. This strong attempt to discredit the media and present Trump as the sole source of all things true has started early (continued) and will only get worse. Many on the board are have already signed up. Something is mentally wrong with Trump and this guy is ready for a straight jacket. I never thought it could happen here. Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated. Trump salute.

Asked if he was concerned that Mr. Spicer had lost credibility with the news media, Mr. Bannon chortled. “Are you kidding me?” he said. “We think that’s a badge of honor. ‘Questioning his integrity’ — are you kidding me? The media has zero integrity, zero intelligence, and no hard work.”

“You’re the opposition party,” Mr. Bannon said. “Not the Democratic Party. You’re the opposition party. The media’s the opposition party.”

Opposition party? Sounds like the administration is positioning to control the flow of information. This, once again, is a Russian strategy that was used by Putin to neutralize the press, and with it voices of dissent.

Boom is the closest to being correct on this thread.

Daily press briefing is going to change drastically. They're going to start taking questions from nonestablishment press companies. I wouldn't be surprised if they went to electronic questioning in some cases.

The CNN's and NBC's of the world should be worried.

"To the victor go the spoils" and now he wants to take Iraq's oil somehow. I can't wait until tomorrow.
