Trump's CNN tantrum could delay $85bn AT&T-Time Warner merger

Re: Temper temper!

When a Trumpster says "vicious attack", s/he merely means "stating facts that are embarrassing or inconvenient to Herr Lügenführer"

_{Note the lack of "I'll get my coat" or "Joke alert" icons.}

Re: Temper temper!

The problem is, the press doesn't need to attack Trump, he makes such a mess of things himself, especially how he reacts to "the press".

He is supposed to be the President of the United States of America and should be above such things, instead he acts like a spoilt bully of a child, making himself a laughing stock around the World.

Usually an adult, and especially someone in his position, would not demean themselves with such childish acts, they would rebuff any criticism with real facts or be man enough to admit when he has made a mistake.

Maybe somebody should inform him, that he is now President and he should start acting like one.

Re: Temper temper!

Ayup, the media is largely an echo chamber - they only listen to themselves and therefore think they rule the roost. However, as O'l Donald likes to point out: He is the president, not them.

It is true that almost half of USAins don't like Donald, but the other slightly larger half like him just fine and the media companies need to accept that if they want to survive, else they will lose a good chunk of their readers, since the constant wailing and railing against the Donald is getting extremely old and boring to everyone.

Re: Anti-Trump bias?

This article might have been written at this time specifically to counter all the bad news at CNN.

Well, attempt to counter...

Re: A few years from now ....

Indeed, the real headline of the article seems to be the White House trying to pressurize CNN: "maybe CNN should write nicer articles about Trump if Time Warner wants the merger to be approved quickly, otherwise shame if something bad should happen to the merger ..."

Not an entirely subtle threat, really, and not making a lot of attempt to judge the merger only on its merits :(

Re: Whose tantrum?

In the process, threatening to use their international media platform to publicly shame someone who made a version of the gif if he doesn't comply with their demands.

Re: Trump is a moron, so are CNN editors

No, but a moron can be wrong twice. I name no names!

Trump is no moron, and neither are the CNN editors. Those editors know exactly what they are doing, and that's why it's so bad. You cannot absolve them by calling them morons.

Could happen, but I bet AT&T is taking another good long look before ingesting the Time Warner apple. CNN could be a worm.

Yep. Obama's position was to block the merger.

Why does CNN hate Obama?

> The Register can be lumped in with rest of the liberal mainstream media

And that is a bad thing? How so?

Funny, I've only heard CNN referred to as the "Corporate News Network". I guess I don't listen to Fox Noise as much as you do....
