Steve Bannon spoke with The New York Times today and unloaded on the liberal and toxic mainstream media.
“The media should be embarrassed and humiliated and keep its mouth shut and just listen for a while… The media is the opposition party. They don’t understand this country. ”
"I want you to quote this," Steve Bannon said. "The media here is the opposition party." https://t.co/CaavOYgmT2
