US press corps fights back with open letter to Trump: You won't set the rules for us

31. A lot of comments saying "we'll see" (which I agree with) and "too little too late" (which I don't

necessarily agree with).

Yes, I'll believe it when I see it, but if I see it I will be ecstatic. I've already subscribed to a number of publications that are doing real reporting, when I've never subscribed before.

And the too little too late: I agree that the press was HORRIBLE in this election and for many years before. But I think if we are very very diligent about rewarding those who actually are doing a good job, we will see more of them doing their jobs. Rewarding them with eyes, ad revenue and subscriptions. Writing to those who are throwing out bullshit and false equivalencies.

I think we need to manage and train the press, just like its a little puppy. Reward it when it does what we want, punish it when it doesn't. If we do that, I think it will eventually stop peeing on the carpet.
