White House strategist Steve Bannon's hostility toward the press was on full display at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday, repeatedly referring to the news media as "the opposition party."

"They're corporatist, globalist media that are adamantly opposed to an economic nationalist agenda," Bannon said on stage at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center. The media, Bannon asserted, is "going to get worse everyday."

"If you look at the opposition party," Bannon said referring to the media, "and how they portray the campaign, how they portrayed the transition, and how they are portraying the administration, it's always wrong. Just like they were dead wrong on the chaos of the campaign, and just like they were dead wrong on the chaos of the transition, they are absolutely dead wrong about what's going on today."

President Donald Trump's first month in office has been typified by his ongoing anatgonism toward the press. Bannon has clearly influenced that tenor, consistently referring the media as "the opposition party" -- a term that has been adopted by Trump. On Thursday, Bannon seemed to go out of his way to invoke the label.
