Kellyanne Conway , senior adviser to President Donald Trump , on Sunday continued the administrations attack against the media by claiming that network television reporters and commentators who talked smack about Trump before the election should be fired.

Not one network person has been let go. Not one silly political analyst and pundit who talked smack all day long about Donald Trump has been let go, Conway said on Fox News Sunday. Im too polite to mention their names, but they know who they are, and they are all wondering who will be the first to go. The election was three months ago. None of them have been let go.

She added that the networks should be cleaning house, firing these people who said things that just werent true.

Conway accused the media of focusing too much attention on her attempt last week to defend press secretary Sean Spicer flagrantly lying to reporters by claiming he was stating alternative facts.

Trump and his administration spent much of his first week in office antagonizing the media. In his first White House press briefing on Monday, Spicer spent several minutes on what he deemed demoralizing coverage , and continued to defend his lying by claiming that we can disagree with the facts.

In an interview with the New York Times on Wednesday, chief strategist Steve Bannon, who previously ran Breitbart, a site that traffics in white nationalism, called the media the opposition party and said it should be silenced.

The media should be embarrassed and humiliated and keep its mouth shut and just listen for a while, Bannon said.
