Why is WHCA suddenly so worried? It's not like Trump just started calling negative coverage fake news. He's also called on his supporters to beat the crap out of anyone who disagrees, and pointed them toward the press pen at rallies. WHCA didn't give a rip then. And can Talev let the American people know when the free press intends to begin reporting without fear or favor? I'd sure like to see that! Anytime beginning now would be nice.
