[See NewsBusters for more.] The journalists at Nightline could barely contain their contempt for Donald Trump at Wednesday’s press conference, mocking it at a “hyperbolic,” “circus”-like atmosphere. Without providing a lot of context about the unverified claims made by BuzzFeed and repeated by CNN, Jon Karl worried, “Unbelievable.  I mean, to see a President-elect of the United States call out a news consideration.” Reporter Cecilia Vega slimed, “I think the one guarantee we have, there will always be a prop [at Trump press conferences] and it will always be a circus.”  Regarding the President-elect’s comments on health care and immigration, “Juju Chang sneered, “All in true Trump fashion. Light on specifics, heavy on hyperbole.”
