I wonder where the story comes from. It was supposed to be an off the record meeting, so whoever is talking is violating the agreement.

Ronald Reagan once said "the media is not your friend." Finally, someone takes him seriously and acts accordingly, and what happens? He wins the Presidency.
Note to GOP: when you run a candidate who campaigns by the Marquis of Queensbury rules, you lose; see also: Romney, M., McCain, J. When you run a candidate who fights against the Democrat more than he fights against his primary opponents, you win. Go thou and do likewise.

To be a fly on the wall. Steve Bannon has a particular hard-on for The Times: "The media bubble is the ultimate symbol of what's wrong with this country.

Meh. Entertaining to be sure, and harmless.
But once in power, how about real actions like restricting access/cooperation in a punitive manner (when deserved)? And most important of all, FFS, start demolishing the myths and false premises of these idiots every single time they are embedded in a question? Notwithstanding all the claims of media influence declining, they (and their allies in academia and pop culture and guvamint) have created a country where Her Heinous could almost be elected. Demolish the myths and disinformation. The country still teeters on the brink of unrecoverable degradation.

One of the reasons why Trump won the R nomination was that he wasn't afraid to lose and hence took risky positions early. Most of the other candidates worried about their long-term political careers and/or had consultants who didn't want their gravy train end early.
Trump also isn't overly worried about being a one-termer. Posted by: Ignoramus at November 21, 2016 06:53 PM (SIY7D) 79

SS Agent: Well, that's what he said. Steve Bannon: I can't go with you either, Zucker. Just then, Trump's bodyguards materialize around them, Zucker understands everything. Zucker: (turns to Bannon)Tell Trump it was only business. I always liked him. Steve Bannon: He understands that. SS Agent: (removing Zucker's pacifier from his pocket) Excuse me, Jeffy.

I predicted months ago - even as I voted for Cruz in the primary - that only Trump could beat the Democrats. The Democrats and their media stooges have so effectively destroyed the Republican brand that George Washington himself could not have overcome them. But Trump is a brawler and was enough of a renegade to the establishment Republicans that he was able to blow through that branding.

I can see why Trump would be very unhappy with them, given the way they covered the election and covered up for Hillary. I just don't see how this is going to help him any. All of those guys went home burning with a blazing sun of righteous indignation and the certainty that now they are fighting a war against a fascist dictator who wants to destroy the 1st amendment.
They didn't go home crestfallen and filled with deep introspection. They didn't doubt themselves and wonder if maybe he doesn't have a point. They didn't become humbled and thoughtful. They went home filled with even more hate and fear than ever about him. I'm sure it felt great to lay into them, and by God they deserve it, and more, but what did it accomplish?

Hopefully Trump put some of the blame on them for the cop killings.
When they stir up Obama/Hillary hate, with all their lies about every damn racial thing ... they should be accountable, in some form. Any that push racist lies should be kept out of news conferences, perhaps, at the least. Media has knowingly made a lot of stupid people have hate for a lot of good people.

An old post:
"If Trump wins there will be turmoil in the so-called News divisions of MSM. Many of them aren't making money; some have been run as loss leaders to curry favor for their corporate owners. That model won't work under a Trump administration." CNN is owned by Time Warner, which wants to sell to AT&T, a deal that Trump has already criticized on antitrust grounds.

I almost feel sorry for them, because they are like dumb animals. They really have no clue why what they did was wrong. So scolding them just causes hurt, without helping them to become any wiser.

"I agree, it undoubtedly had the consequence of increasing and solidifying their opposition."
Gotta disagree here, guys. I mean, it's a good point, but it ignores the idea that the press ALREADY had the diss-Trump knob turned up to 11. It ain't going much further than that; might as well not accept it if your Donald Trump. Plus, back in the Donald Trump Media Darling days, these jagoffs probably couldn't tongue-bathe him ENOUGH.

See, if Trump can succeed at creating a pattern where people just go straight to the voters without using the news or even needing them... nobody will need revenge or licenses being reviewed or laws or anything against the news media.
They become largely irrelevant. You get news stories about someone's lost dog from them, but most of their power to manipulate the narrative dies with that simple shift. If he does it. This could be a massive shift in culture. Or maybe I'm over reading things. I tend to analyze the crap out of everything and sometimes it leads to places that aren't realistic.

I watched a series of videos on YouTube, the "Untruth About Donald Trump" videos by Stefan Molyneux. It was eye-opening.
The videos take forever to watch; I wish he had just made a web page with all the text, all linked with links back to the sources. But here's a link that starts at a good example. https://youtu.be/Gw8c2Cq-vpg?t=10m9s So you don't have to watch the video, here's the text of Trump's full quote: "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people. "But I speak to border guards and they tell us what we're getting. And it only makes common sense. It only makes common sense. They're sending us not the right people." I didn't type all that, I got it from: http://bit.ly/1GNRCpd That link also has the actual video of Trump saying the above. So, key points: (a) He spoke to border guards, (b) there are an unspecified number of rapists among the illegal immigrants, (c) some, he assumes, are good people. How was this reported? Huffington Post: "He called Latino immigrants 'criminals' and 'rapists'" Washington Post: "He referred to Mexicans as 'rapists'" and so on. Completely dishonest reporting. As Molyneaux observed, the media generalized his comments from a subset (some illegal immigrants) to a whole (all Mexicans, all Latino immigrants). There were numerous examples as bad as this. The other Republican candidates for President don't come off looking very good either. Being charitable, I assume that they believed the lying news accounts and didn't check for themselves rather than knowingly perpetuated the lie. Example: Mitt Romney: "I think he made a severe error in saying what he did about Mexican-Americans." Wow, all Mexican-Americans?!? Mitt, Mitt, Mitt. Then Molyneaux pointed out that Trump had referenced a Fusion article that claimed that, according to directors of migrant shelters, a staggering 80% of all women were raped along the way while illegally immigrating to the USA. This high number may actually be plausible, if you consider that rapists could seek out routes of illegal immigration because they know they can find women who are alone and defenseless. The article quotes Amnesty International talking about the problem. The article also says that the women know this is a problem and take contraceptives before immigrating so that when they get raped, at least they won't also get pregnant. So Trump talks about the problem, and he's just a big crazy racist, huh? Google found the Fusion article; here's a link: http://fus.in/1CdIZpK Link to Molyneaux's sources: http://www.untruthaboutdonaldtrump.com/ The really fun aspect to all this: the press has no leverage on Trump, none. They can't treat him any worse than they already have, and he is not likely to change his behavior if they start writing nice things about him... which I highly doubt they can bring themselves to do anyway. I've been hoping that Trump would hit Washington, D.C. like a wrecking ball. That hope is getting stronger watching him in action now.

At a visceral level, I love this, but understand the risk involved here. Trump is betting that his victory is proof that the MSM has lost enough power as to be inconsequential to him moving forward. That's a bet I wouldn't take. Just because he rode a wave of mas media distrust to the White House doesn't mean that such hatred will persist in the face of constant media push-back. They hate Trump to the point of wanting to destroy him, and they will hold nothing back now. They will make shit up, and in the event they uncover a scandal they can prove, the made up stuff will be accepted as real by enough of the public to matter.

Well, he was able to work through the media to reach people despite their filters and manipulation. He broke through the narrative because he was so gifted and winsome and winning and charismatic and you just had to hand it to him, even if you were an enemy. Trump is just bypassing them entirely.

The media has a combined approval rating right around herpes. This election has exposed them in so many ways, very few people take them seriously. At all. The media is useless unless they have access and Trump has other ways to get his message out like youtube. This isn't the 1980's or even the early 2000's anymore. Way too much social media available to everyone for the media to be able to stifle him or twist his message. Trump is pretty good at using the media. I'm not too worried about who is going to blink first. Posted by: JackStraw at November 21, 2016 07:24 PM (/tuJf) 289

They hate Trump to the point of wanting to destroy him, and they will hold nothing back now. They will make shit up, and in the event they uncover a scandal they can prove, the made up stuff will be accepted as real by enough of the public to matter.
This is a dangerous game Trump is playing, especially this early in the game. --- Not necessarily. The media has already smashed their credibility with the election and the run up to the election. Everyone knows they were fellating Hillary constantly. There are other sources of information and people know that now. Also.. the people can take down any news network.

"They hate Trump to the point of wanting to destroy him, and they will
hold nothing back now. They will make shit up, and in the event they uncover a scandal they can prove, the made up stuff will be accepted as real by enough of the public to matter." Doesn't matter - he's not playing to the media, he's playing to his supporters. He just publicly thrashed a media that all of us have called dishonest, liars, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the DNC. He's confirming to us, and to the media, that he does not fear them. When they start trashing him, if they recover enough testicular matter to start trashing him, everyone, on both sides of the aisle, will remember that they are liars and writing what they do out of spite. This was a pre-emptive strike. He could have walked out of that conference room after tearing them a collective new one, raised his arms to the masses, and shouted out "Are you not... entertained?"

As Molyneaux observed, the media generalized his comments from a subset (some illegal immigrants) to a whole (all Mexicans, all Latino immigrants).
Well, Trump didn't help himself. He talks the way Ann Coulter writes: in huge sweeping generalizations lumping everyone together and gut punching them. He said "Mexicans" are rapists and murderers, not "Illegal immigrants." Now from context and history its obvious what he meant but he made it easy to mischaracterize him and it scared a lot of Hispanics, including conservatives.

By the way, Stefan Molyneaux also noted that Trump, at age 70, has been talking to reporters for something like half a century now. "He has spent more time talking to reporters than many of the reporters covering him have spent *breathing*." And so, Trump has successfully outmanoeuvred the press on multiple occasions. They would try to frame the debate, and then he would say something and they would start covering what he said, and oh look they didn't frame the debate, how did that happen.

OT: Huge upset in the Chess Championship, as we finally get a game that doesn't end in a draw - the challenge Karjakin, playing Black, wins Game 8 after champion Magnus blunders what looked like a sure draw into a loss. If he holds serve by drawing in the next 4 games, he's the new champ.
Magnus is known for sometimes finding brilliant over-the-board combinations to win 'lost' or 'drawn' positions, but in this game he somehow missed a move that even I saw as a club player. That's not really a humblebrag - the whole endgame was revolving around a passed pawn, and he played two poor tempo moves in a row that led to a decisive Black advantage.

I think I figured out what Trump gained by doing this, and if I'm right, it relates to this speech by Cromwell to the corrupt, venal, and useless parliament:
"It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice; ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government; ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money. Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess? "Ye have no more religion than my horse; gold is your God; which of you have not barter'd your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth? Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defil'd this sacred place, and turn'd the Lord's temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices? "Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation; you were deputed here by the people to get grievances redress'd, are yourselves gone! So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors. In the name of God, go!" Now whatever you think of Cromwell, that's a badass speech. And I think that's what Trump just did to the press.

No, but he is sloppy with language, so he makes it easy to attack him and for people to misuse what he says. I've never liked that in Ann Coulter either.

This meeting was supposed to be "off the record". None of the participants would talk about what was said. Well Kelly Anne Conway on the Trump Team was all sweetness, light and vanilla ice cream. "Excellent meeting" etc. No substance--which is what the deal was.
But the Trumpkins were playing the press (who have repeatedly demonstrated that they just ain't too bright). Trump knew what some of those press A holes would leak what was said.

"Washington Post: "He referred to Mexicans as 'rapists'" and so on. Completely dishonest reporting. mr jack
they do that to his son as well, with the skittles analogy. An article casually mentions that the son referred to Syrians as poisoned Skittles. NO ... that is a blatant lie. He referred to Syrians as good skittles, but mixed in were a couple jihadists (poisoned) and they looked just like the others. That is specifically saying most are good, but that is how mendacious media push their venom into the casual listener, and make them call good people racist. And they don't say anything about some think he meant ... whatever, they state it casually as fact, so casually that it is accepted without notice.

About time that someone stood up to the corrupt media. Trump sure knows how they work, their insecurities and foibles. The leftist know nothings are the only people who still think the media is great-it's confirmation bias.
Why do you think Trump met with Ari Emanuel over the weekend ? Maybe it was to remind him to tell his clients and the media that if they want a war with Trump, be ready to get a bloody nose, lose ratings and their jobs. The WSJ today has an article about how the bi-coastal elites and leftist snowflakes who run the US ad agencies are all rushing to re-assess their survey methodology, messaging and client advice because they fear they don't get half the country ! Maybe we will less less man bashing, less metrosexuals and less obnoxious multi-cultural ads. Bet the morons who did those Bud ads with the blond (who steals jokes) and Seth doofus may be are a bit nervous for their jobs right now.

@431 My take:
A preemptive strike. Obama has been making noises about being a citizen adversary against the Trump administration. And the threat is that the MSM will play with Barry in a full-court defense of the Left's goals. IOW, the MSM will be Barry's voice against Trump. The MSM isn't going to give Trump a honeymoon, even if that meeting never took place. The media is completely corrupted and will not reconcile itself to an electoral loss in which the MSM corporatists invested themselves body and ... souls. Posted by: mrp at November 21, 2016 07:48 PM (JBggj) An excellent analysis! Crazy, isn't it? We're literally talking about a former POTUS being the leader of an organization trying to undermine the US government. Yeah, that sounds about right for Obama. I do so despise the fact that he's younger than me, and so maybe I won't live to hear about that bastard finally checking out. Posted by: Optimizer at November 21, 2016 07:54 PM (p91ci) 470

Y'know, groveling and fawning like supplicants, paying tribute, writing odes to her glorious magnificence, solomnly pledging their eternal fealty, dutifully relaying Her Majesty's decrees like commandments from G-d for the edification of the benighted masses and such?

It's a safe bet that Bannon who has Trump's ear reads the comments here as Breitbart and knows what plays well with the base.
So Trump knows what the morons think by osmosis. Posted by: Kreplach It only dawned on me yesterday that: 1. I know editors at Breitbart News ("know" in the sense of "occasionally send emails to each other"); 2. In the past, when I frequently published essays and photo reports and blog posts 'n' stuff, I would often send them out to everyone on my "contact list" which included about 25 blogmeisters like Ace and these Breitbart guys; 3. The guys at Breitbart would only link to my stuff rarely, but they almost always were polite enough to write back and say "Good job!" or whatever; ...and... 4. At least once, and probably more time that I now forget, one of them wrote back to me and said, "Great essay -- and Steve liked it too!" At the time, I had no idea who "Steve" was, but now that I've learned the name "Steve Bannon," who was the top honcho at Breitbart at the time -- who else could they have been referring to? Which means that they guy who now has Trump's ear know who I am and "of my work"! Hard to wrap my mind around that. Posted by: zombie at November 21, 2016 08:16 PM (jBuUi) 562

The add to the festivities, here's a little real-life episode for you:
My barking-mad Leftist cousin and a FB friend put something out there basically referencing one of those "these guys are Nazi" articles, and basically were looking for a Trump supporter to have some sort of "Oh my God - what have I done, I'm so, so, sorry America!" moment about it. Claimed they just wanted to try to understand the other side, more or less dared Trump people to engage with an "it's so mysterious" that "the silence is deafening" bit. So I posted one of those crying baby photos, and said "In a related mystery, this child's mom doesn't understand why nobody wants to sit next to her on the plane!" Well, it's my cousin.

For God's sake, that's the thing. I don't want, and I hope we all don't want, Trump suckups all over the place.
But I don't want a press that's got Clinton's - or Bernie's - or Fauxcahontas' - or Allah forbid Ellison's - hand up its ass. The fact that someone does NOT show up in the rogue's gallery of Dem scum is to some extent a validation. Posted by: JEM at November 21, 2016 08:28 PM (TppKb) This is the question: do the dems control the media, or does the media control the dems? Or rather another question: are the media so in love with leftist policies that it makes no difference? I would say when we talk about massive coordination, I think we are misjudging how they operate. This is not a machine, but a cult. Example: someone churns out a phrase, they all leap on it, not because they were told to, but because they all think alike (so they like the turn of phrase) and are stupid enough not to realize they are repeating themselves everywhere. We always (and I mean people) have a tendency to think of our enemies as monolithic and eerily capable. I think they are just very very good at parroting memes.

This reminds me of Gen. Sherman on Gen. Grant:
"I'll tell you where he beats me though and where he beats the world. He doesn't give a damn about what the enemy does out of his sight, but it scares me like hell ... I am more nervous than he is. I am more likely to change my orders or to countermarch my command than he is. He uses such information as he has according to his best judgement; he issues his orders and does his level best to carry them out without much reference to what is going on about him and, so far, experience seems to have fully justified him."

If you need to come down to Earth, just a little, I do have ONE concern about this supposed development.
Trump has been laying low (that's my theory, anyway) while Obama remains in office, so as to not rile up any resistance unnecessarily, and so maybe maybe this is a PREMATURE wake-up call to the media.

Trump's big infrastructure spending spree is going to require a lot of new tax money. He needs to go after the Valley, after Wall Street, and after Hollyweird, and squeeze all of them till their pips squeak. Then in 2020, when these three crony-capitalist blocs predictably align against him (as they would do anyway), Trump can say it's just petty butthurt on their part due to his finally having forced them to cough up their "fair share" of the national tax burden that they've avoided for so long. He can run against them. It's note-perfect. What? This isn't a "conservative" thing to do? Well. Trump isn't an actual conservative. So then. To it.

They still wield power, but this doubling down on "fake news" thing is interesting to me.
It's predictable. The Democrat Model has been ... as long as I've been alive ... to stake out the maximal position while Reasonable Republicans start out with a compromise position. The end result is always somewhere in between. Now - given a setback - the logical Democrat Model is to double down. Raise over the top. What's Trump gonna' do ... go all in ? If Trump does - the bitching and groaning on this board will be deafening. And telling. Posted by: ScoggDog at November 21, 2016 08:55 PM (fiGNd) 713

"So, at the midnight hour, literally, 90K ballots appear out of nowhere from heavy-D Durham county North Carolina. Not enough to steal Trump's win of NC, but enough to steal the governorship by 6K votes. The R governor, McRory, isn't having it."
Wait, what? He's actually pushing back and is ready to give the Democrats a fight over it? When did *that* enter the GOP playbook? I thought that when huge boluses of ballots magically appear out of nowhere and flip races to the Democrat (as famously has occurred in MN and WA, et cetera) the only approved official Republican response is to shrug sadly, say "Oh well, too bad," and trudge away into the dark.

We are reading it (Drudge link for me) from the conservative media's perspective. Pretty sure it was harsh and lines were drawn. But if you have read the Trump books, none of which I can recall verbatim, he is pretty accepting of genuine apologies, etc. But somewhere he does say, forgive but don't trust again. Plus there are many examples of Trump and his adversaries -- and reconciliation and support. At least, this is what I hope. Although it was probably pretty rough for some more than others.

I wonder about the same thing. I think they all really do get talking points issued to them and they wind up picking up a phrase or word they like that makes them sound smart like the word "gravitas." They wind up repeating a lot it bc it's an echo chamber bc of the group think dynamic that it sets off.
I don't really know though. Like the global warming scam. Do they all know it's a scam and want to participate on forcing it on the public or do they all actually believe the fake science? Wasn't it basically proven with the journolist revelations and then wikileaks etc that the media basically colludes with the DNC?

Maybe it is beneficial to be raised by liberals.
From a young age I observed that my liberal father would try to "spin" things to conform to a certain narrative and it made me conscious of this phenomenon, and when the media is accused of it, it was plausible to me because of my experience. Had I not had that experience, it might seem like a wacky conspiracy theory. For example, we came across a black man who had been pulled over by a white cop. My father was all, "You see that? It's racist, shameful." I was secretly thinking, "You didn't see anything I didn't see. We don't know what happened." I could tell he was trying to condition me to have certain reactions to certain situations that had nothing to do with who was in the right.

Really what they ought to have done for AF1 was to have ordered two brand spanking new -400s right at the end of the production run.
There's more commonality of those with the older -200 frames, and more of the AF1 custom systems originally menat for the -200 would port over to the -400 design without too much trouble and expense. Then the upgraded -400s could have been mothballed until the retirement of the -200 classics. Expecting common sense from federal procurement is like expecting a hound dog to start playing Mozart, though. Posted by: torquewrench at November 21, 2016 09:21 PM (noWW6) 814

But at the SAME TIME, they don't really DO anything - anything that amounts to any kind of sacrifice - that they would actually do if they really DID believe it. So, no, they don't really believe it, but they even lie to themselves about it, or at least just don't give a crap about humanity or Mother Earth the way they pretend they do.

Fine. My 80 year old mother has recovered from a bug she had and went on the treadmill for 6 minutes today. Today was below freezing, -3 Celcius, but my 90 year old father bundled up, and went up and down the road 3 times, about 1 km, with his walker. He can walk fine in the house without the walker, but for walks, I'm glad he has it. He uses a cane when going uptown. Yesterday was the first really cold day walking. 0 degrees Celcius. We got to the end of the road, he checks his watch like he does to see his time and commented how he was quicker than usual. Well yeah, the 30 mph winds were pushing him at his back. He did come inside, warmed up while I took the dog for his run, and then went out to complete the third walk. I told my brother, when you're 90, it's freezing outside, you've gone up and down the street twice, but still manage to get the heck out there to complete the third round, you're not doing bad.

I like the utube transition update from Teh Donald, and endorse what others have been saying about using alternative, direct channels to communicate around and above the media distortion (notice I did not say filter, as that metaphor is wholly inadequate).
Like the specific, action-oriented tick list he walks through in his first video update. One constructive suggestion. Circumstances, and the merits of the case, and Trump's willingness to grasp this nettle, mean that he can take dramatic action on illegal migration and border security, while doing nothing more than enforcing existing, long-standing law. So instead of his mention of crack-down on visa abuse (I take this to mean H2B abuse) - which is spectacular, don't get me wrong - he should really describe his upcoming policy on immigration as follows: "My administration will enforce existing laws on immigration and border security, which for so long been ignored or even broken by government at every level, with so much damage to the US and even to other countries".

I like the fact that Trump turns the storybook narrative on its head.

(((President-elect Donald Trump exploded at media bigs in an off-the-record Trump Tower powow on Monday, sources told The Post.))) So, "Off-the-record" means what, exactly? One of the recipients went running right over to the Post to whine about the treatment. Mission accomplished. It's kind of Machiavellian. They can't report on it first hand, and have to go to alternative media and non-participants to get their "story" out. That isn't by accident...the non-participants are likely those outlets friendly to Trump (like the Post). Alternative news outlets are nothing more that choir singers. So who benefits from what appears to be a self-serving vent by Trump? No one really...but power and authority is 10% talent and 90% appearance.

Soothsayer - "Mission Accomplished"
Which perfectly described the situation of the USS Lincoln, on which he landed in an S-2 aircraft (having piloted it a bit en route). This latter, rather amazing fact of course enraged many - WTF? Someone I know well was almost spitting mad at this - WTFF? I have never inquired as to the source of the anger. This person ain't the brightest, but this remains an all-time low that greatly reduced my respect. Look at the actual words of the speech Bush gave on the flight deck. Something I dare people to do when they flaunt their ignorance and regurgitate the MSM distortion (THIS was a notable incident of distortion even compared to the long sad record of same). Heck, we even have folks right here who could benefit by checking that speech against their NPR-level understanding of the topic.

963 A nearby commie "church" (which we dub the "granola church;" the church of fruits, nuts, and flakes) has a sermon this Gaia day entitled "God is with us in a time of trial" (last week: "Winter is coming").

Then Bush declared major combat operations over, and they got all up in his junk about his supposedly having said the whole thing was over, when that just meant that Saddam's military had been obliterated, which it had.
I maintain that the actual war was pretty short - maybe a few months, tops. A victim of it's own success - and of the media - the occupation was portrayed as part of the war. The war was so successful that the occupation had more casualties. Then it shifted to a new war, as Al Quaeda moved in. By the media standards applied to Iraq, you might be able to say that the CIVIL WAR (you know - the one with LINCOLN) is still going on. Posted by: Optimizer at November 21, 2016 09:55 PM (p91ci) 981
josephistan, Chino air show's a good one. Lots of warbirds. Since you'll have made the trip, you should also duck into the museum at March airbase, not far away. Check it out.
And if you're up in Simi Valley at the Reagan Library, drive another 40 min. and check out the CAF museum at Camarillo, just south of Ventura. And if you're there, ....... go ahead and check out the SeaBee museum at Pt. Mugu! (true factoid: have, myself, not yet been to March, Camarillo, or SeaBee museums, even though all are mere hours away - but I might be checking off two of those soon, finally) Posted by: rhomboid at November 21, 2016 09:55 PM (QDnY+) 982

AF1 has never been a 747-200.
JFK to Reagan was 707. The aircraft at the Reagan Library I believe is the very same that transported JFK body from Dallas to DC while LBJ was sworn in aboard beside Jackie O. Bush 41 took delivery of 2 brand new 747-400s which are still in service today. These aircraft are not in any sad state of repair or need of replacement. Upgrades to various systems have been carried out over the years, and these planes are meticulously cared for by elite Air Force personnel. AF1 is still a magnificent representation of America in so many ways, I can't help but feel a wave of pride when I see it in action.
