Steve Bannon Takes Mainstream Media To The Cleaners At CPAC

This year’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), a political conference hosted annually by the American Conservative Union, was under the spotlight, first for inviting controversial writer Milo Yiannopoulos and then for ousting him after a clip surfaced of him defending Pederasty, a homosexual relationship between an adult male and an adolescent male. The conference finally got underway yesterday (23 February) amidst all the hullabaloo. The headlining event, so to speak, was Trump administration officials’ address to the audience.

In a repeat of his infamous interview with the New York Times, United States President Donald Trump’s chief strategist Steve Bannon took the mainstream media to the cleaners and called them, once again, “the opposition party” while speaking with White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus. He was quoted as saying,

At the event, Bannon called the American media the “corporatist globalist media” and said they would continue to oppose the US President’s economic policies even as the country’s economic situation would continue to improve under his administration.

Only last month, Bannon had launched a blistering attack on the legacy media in the country. He had also defended White House spokesperson Sean Spicer’s combative performance in which he had taken on the media for what he had described as "dishonest inauguration coverage." He had then said the “media has zero integrity, zero intelligence, and no hard work.”
