Different but similar account of the meeting with the press today. Who is he to tell them how to do their job?

Also mentions that he hasn't held a press conference yet. And if he doesn't allow a protective press pool.. well lots of articles warning about the possible authoritarian Trump said to watch for the first institution to be attacked; the press.

On Monday afternoon, he had a contentious Trump Tower meeting with another one of his chief adversaries: members of the news media.

In the session with more than a dozen television executives and on-air journalists, Trump was highly critical of coverage of him, according to several people familiar with the gathering. Keeping his voice calm and his tone flippant, he told the group sitting around a conference table that they failed to provide their viewers with fair and accurate coverage and told them they failed to understand him or his appeal to millions of Americans.

Trump expressed particular ire at CNN and at several reporters at other cable networks whom he sees as unreasonably antagonistic toward him, though he did not mention them by name.

The people variously described Trump as “combative,” “proud,” and “dismissive” toward the news organizations present. He also shrugged off the need for a constant pool covering him, they said, although he did not delve into specifics.

Lol, Trump's going to be very unhappy for 4 years.. If he complains about the pictures they're using!

At least Priebus said that the protective pool would be taken care of, though I'll believe that when I see it.

He also complained about photos of himself that NBC used that he found unflattering, the source said.

Trump turned to NBC News President Deborah Turness at one point, the source said, and told her the network won’t run a nice picture of him, instead choosing “this picture of me,” as he made a face with a double chin. Turness replied that they had a “very nice” picture of him on their website at the moment.

...

But Priebus assured the attendees that the protective press pool will be taken care of and it would all work out.

EDIT: At his meeting with Nigel Farage Trump encouraged Farage and his entourage to oppose wind farms because they ruin the view from his golf course.

When President-elect Donald J. Trump met with the British politician Nigel Farage in recent days, he encouraged Mr. Farage and his entourage to oppose the kind of offshore wind farms that Mr. Trump believes will mar the pristine view from one of his two Scottish golf courses, according to one person present.

The meeting, held shortly after the presidential election, raises new questions about Mr. Trump’s willingness to use the power of the presidency to advance his business interests. Mr. Trump has long opposed a wind farm planned near his course in Aberdeenshire, and he previously fought unsuccessfully all the way to Britain’s highest court to block it.

The group that met with Mr. Trump in New York was led by Mr. Farage, the head of the U.K. Independence Party and a member of the European Parliament. Mr. Farage, who was a leading voice advocating Britain’s exit from the European Union, or Brexit, campaigned with Mr. Trump during the election. Arron Banks, an insurance executive who was a major financier of the Brexit campaign, was also in attendance.

Shortly after the stories about the wind farm come out, Trump's twitter.

Prior to the election it was well known that I have interests in properties all over the world.Only the crooked media makes this a big deal!

Prior to the election you said you'd release your tax returns so people could decide if there were too many conflicts of interest, but you didn't. Prior to and after the election you said you didn't care about your businesses, but you apparently still do. Prior to and after the election you said your businesses would be put into a blind trust, be run by your kids, or some other combination of things to separate your businesses from yourself, instead you sue the government (yourself?) to lower the value of your DC hotel to pay less taxes and allow foreign diplomats to stay there and spend lavishly so they can tell you how they stayed at your hotel to try and curry favour.

He also said he would fund 100% of his own campaign.

Or even give $100 million to it, neither of which he did.

He also got notice of 1,100 apparent violations (for $1.3m) on campaign funding from the FEC which he is supposed to clarify or give back

I'm sure that prediction will be just as accurate as all the rest. As for the media what do you expect after they do stuff like this -
NY Times Calls Mrs. Trump a 'Mannequin' & 'Trophy Wife.'

If the press said that about Michelle Obama the media would be flinging #### for months if not years. 95% of the media has no credibility outside the echo chambers, including your favourite.

LOL, I clicked through on the graphic to try to find the "source" for some of the above, but all that is provided is a hyperlink to the main page of Wikileaks.

[zamler]

You can search the names the stuff is there Wikileaks does a great job of formatting the data.

I've gone through 5 names and found nothing that indicates what Ron Paul is talking about.

Not that it'd surprise me if the list was made up, Ron Paul is a crazy old man.

You sure do like your conservative news bubble.

You have to be willfully blind and ignorant not to see the collusion just one example below. NYT scheming with the Clinton campaign to frame Trump in the worst possible light. So much for integrity in journalism.

Everything was planned in advance the exact narrative we heard over the election cycle and more is outlined above. Notice they were not taking Trump lightly or calling him a joke and a man that could never win. Very very different to the barrage from the Media that he is an incompetent clown with a 3% chance of winning on a good day.

I'm not sure if I'm misreading your post but aren't you contradicting yourself?

That's called collusion you leftist moonbaby. The real truthers, the conservative media, don't NEED fact checking. WE MAKE OUR OWN FACTS.
