Trump gets into heated shouting match with CNN reporter
Donald Trump has always made his views about the media clear: he hates them.

So when a reporter tried to get the president-elect to answer a question, it went about as well as you’d expect.
In addressing the recent report, published by BuzzFeed News, about the impact of the Russian hack as well as Trump’s alleged ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump went after Buzzfeed, calling it a “failing pile of garbage.”
He also denounced CNN for reporting on the report and said, “It’s a disgrace what took place. It’s a disgrace, and I think they ought to apologize.”

That’s when one CNN reporter tried to get a straight answer out of Trump, shouting out, “Since you’re attacking us, can you give us a question?”
But Trump just pointed at another reporter, telling them to “go ahead,” and when the CNN reporter kept pressing for a question, he said, “No, not you. Your organization’s terrible.”
The reporter continued to ask for a question as Trump repeatedly told him, “quiet,” finally pointing to the reporter he’d singled out and saying, “She’s asking a question. Don’t be rude.”
“I’m not going to give you a question. You are fake news.”
