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

“I want you to quote this,” Mr. Bannon added. “The media here is the opposition party. They don’t understand this country. They still do not understand why Donald Trump is the president of the United States.”

The scathing assessment — delivered by one of Mr. Trump’s most trusted and influential advisers, in the first days of his presidency — comes at a moment of high tension between the news media and the administration, with skirmishes over the size of Mr. Trump’s inaugural crowd and the president’s false claims that millions of illegal votes by undocumented immigrants swayed the popular vote against him.
This guy is bat**** crazy and I have no doubt wants to watch the US destroy itself. America really, really messed up this election.
I'm not certain that this individual is actually cognizant of what the 'media' is.

If they 'keep their mouth shut' literally or figuratively, then they're not really the media then are they?

Not to mention, Trump worked the media like low-rent hookers during his campaign, it seems somewhat hypocritical and disingenuous to turn on them now.
