The internet shreds reporters who attended Trumps Mar-a-Lago party

Several reporters were photographed palling around with President-elect Donald Trump over the weekend — and some of their viewers are not happy about it.

Mediaite notes that several reporters — including CNN’s Jeremy Diamond, Politico cofounder Mike Allen and NBC News’s Hallie Jackson — attended a private party at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida over the weekend, where they had an off-the-record chat with the president-elect.

At one point during the evening, Mike Allen posted a photo of Trump and the reporters in attendance on his Twitter account, where he also described Trump as “relaxed and chatty.”

This photo set off major alarm bells for many people who decried major media figures getting cozy with Trump — especially after he made attacks on the media a staple of his campaign rallies.

In response to Allen’s post, several of his Twitter followers absolutely let him have it, and accused him and the other reporters in the room of selling their souls in exchange for access to Trump.

but unless I am mistaken, in the picture circulating, the pimp is the guy in the long red tie and his, we'll call them employees (whores is such a nasty word), are shown having a good old time before hitting the streets. I guess the liquor eases the feeling they are selling themselves as the nation watches in disgust.

Provided you can get this swill down



I found out Trump Winery is in Virginia. Odd since New York State has a bit of wine industry. Maybe they wouldn't do it on the cheap.

And he wins both ways, buying 'selected' reporters to sell his agenda while damaging the credibility of nationally recognized reporters and media, which serves his "don't trust them" meme.

He was the first of the turncoat "journalists" to claim that validating facts wasn't his job.
