- A
top Donald Trump advisor has asked the mainstream media
in the US to keep its mouth shut as the news
organisations have been “humiliated” by the general
elections results and he repeatedly described them as
“the opposition party” of the current administration.
“The media should be embarrassed and humiliated and keep
its mouth shut and just listen for a while,” Stephen K
Bannon, Chief White House Strategist for President
Donald Trump told The New York Times in a conference
call.
“I want you to
quote this. 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 US,”
Bannon said.
Bannon, who played a key role in the victory of Trump
last November said that the elite media got it all wrong
covering the campaign.
“The elite media got it dead wrong, 100 per cent dead
wrong,” Bannon said calling it “a humiliating defeat
that they will never wash away, that will always be
there.”
“The mainstream media has not fired or terminated anyone
associated with following our campaign,” Bannon said.
“Look at the Twitter feeds of those people: they were
outright activists of the Clinton campaign. You were
humiliated,” he alleged.
“The media has zero integrity, zero intelligence, and no
hard work. You’re the opposition party. Not the
Democratic Party. You’re the opposition party. The media
is the opposition party,” he said.
“The paper of record for our beloved republic, The New
York Times, should be absolutely ashamed and humiliated.
They got it 100 per cent wrong,” Bannon said.
