White House aide: 'The fake news complex is collapsing'

[DonViejo]

BY JULIA MANCHESTER - 07/02/17 07:00 AM EDT

White House aide Sebastian Gorka claimed in an interview aired Sunday that mainstream news media are losing influence, citing recent resignations at CNN and cuts at The New York Times.

“To those supporters of the Trump administration who are worried by all the fake news reporting of the last 23 weeks, I can assure you, just ignore it,” Gorka, who serves as deputy assistant to President Trump, told radio host John Catsimatidis on AM 970 in New York.

“The fake news complex is collapsing in on itself. We see that with the massive scandal at CNN, having to fire people who were generating totally false stories about the administration. We see that with the severe personnel cuts at The New York Times,” he continued.

Gorka was referring to three CNN staffers who resigned after the network retracted a story linking a Trump ally to a Russian investment bank, as well as potential layoffs at The New York Times.

4. Irony is dead.

10. I was going to say the Irony Burns...

Gorka's qualifications? Breitbart writer and self-created thinktank thinker. Written irony, perhaps is dead, as you can't top what comes out of this White House. However, it's like unintended performance art irony. Multiple times a day.

11. It's just..... I've no words. He needs to go now.

9. Somebody better check and see if britebart has filed for bankruptcy,

Because all these fuckers know how to do is project heh.

The FAKE news might be collapsing, but Donald and his Idiot Cabal are still going to get themselves impeached. The only ones who will be surprised by this will be his dumbass voters.

12. Tyrants always undermine the Press on their way to taking complete control.

[edhopper]

13. Nazi says what?

[SweetieD]

14. They have twisted the term fake news and think it means any news that is critical to

to Trump or republican policies.

When people used the term fake news in the 2016 election cycle they meant news that was literally fake and created by propaganda farms run out of Eastern Europe... .like a news article talking about how the Pope endorsed Donald Trump for president and including a bunch of quotes that were made up by some writer and never said by the Pope. That is fake.

Reporting on on going investigations into Trump and his campaign is not fake. It is is just news that trumpsters do not want to hear.
