Discussion: Steve Bannon Tells NY Times The Media Should 'Keep Its Mouth Shut'

[clare]

This guy is the devil. And he is trying to steal our country. Not hyperbole.

[theotherbear]

Bannon may wish to channel 1973/Washington Post/Richard Nixon (whose staff posse would giggle at Bannon and his band of amateur hour hacks), and derive a lesson about the wisdom of starting a sh*tstorm between the ‘elite media’ and a POTUS with lots and lots to hide.

[imkmu3]

Like trump, he believes his own bullshit.

[quin]

Let’s translate this into English: “There are a few people at the White House who are not batshit crazy like the Mango Millionaire and me. Those people have the Times and the Post on speed dial and they are letting the rest of the country know just how insane things are. THIS MUST STOP!”

[pauldownard]

We should shut down Breitbart, Alex Jones, Fox and all the right wing traitor-talk shows on the air.

[circusmax]

Tax returns and collusion with Russia. Nothing else matters.

Focus, that is a short and sweet list. It’s all we need, but we have to focus.

Of the following four people - which one would Steve Bannon pick as the most evil threat to civilization?

• the journalist …

[nymund]

Proudly, defiantly fascist.

[riverstreet]

If the New York Times keeps their mouth shut, it will mean no more tongue-baths for your boss, Steve.

[tena]

Good on you, Bannon, you fucking drunk.

I’m sure the NYT is going to lay down and let you step on them. And all the rest of the media too

[ajaykalra]

Fucking nazi

Bannon: Of Course. A proud and rich Nazi.

[yskov]

Steve Bannon just drunk-dialed the NYT.

[dannyeastvillage]

By all means, listen to the bloated, red-nosed drunk.

[alcaray]

At the risk of confusing Breitbart with legitimate media, the irony in Bannon’s statement is awesome.

[geofu54]

“They don’t understand this country.”

Irony is fat.

[tena]

Awesome! Wish I’d said it.

[mattinpa]

Every picture I see of this guy looks like an autopsy photo.

To me it’s the face of decades of angry boozing.

[sickneffintired]

Good on you, Bannon, you fucking drunk.

I’m sure the NYT is going to lay down and let you step on them. And all the rest of the media too

[tena]

O yes. I know exactly how Bannon feels when he gets up in the morning and I’m dead positive he starts his day with a drink. Or 6.

[charliee]

Why was he talking to the media? Just to give them a message? Obviously, he didn’t want what he had to say to the Times reported…
