In a fiery press conference his first since the election, President-elect Donald Trump vented his anger on fake news report by Buzzfeed and CNN, Trump got into a heated exchange with CNN reporter Jim Acosta over the news organization's coverage of the unverified report -- first posted on BuzzFeed -- claiming Trump's deep ties with Russia.
Trump specifically called out BuzzFeed as a "failing pile of garbage" and CNN for building up the story after BuzzFeed first released it, while answering a question relating to his earlier tweet asking "Are we living in Nazi Germany,". After Trump finished his response, Acosta could be heard loudly trying to ask a question.
"Since you're attacking us can you give us a question? Since you are attacking our news organization can you give us a chance?" Acosta said.
Trump refused to take the question, "Not you, your organization is terrible," Trump responded, telling Acosta to be quiet. "She's asking a question, don't be rude."
Acosta however kept trying to ask his question, until Trump not having it again, slammed,
"No, I'm not going to give you a question. You are fake news!" he said.
"Mr. President-elect that's not appropriate," Acosta said before allowing the next reporter to ask her question.
