(17,551 posts)Trump basically issued a challenge to the press/media. They will relish the chance finally, truly, to "comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable". The USS Trump has so many factions and is so corrupt already, it will leak like a sieve as the knives come out from all the competing camps in Trumpworld. Stories will write themselves. Pulitzer Prize material will be abundant for any journalist willing to do a little digging.
The other day MSNBC had a panel of journalists on. They said the exact same thing and Toure' made a point to say the press can't ask any multi-part questions, they have to be short, succinct and solitict answers (like yes or no) that will clearly show where Trump stands.
I personally hope the press is booted out its digs in the WH because I think when you are located in or on the premises of the person you are supposed to be covering, you end up getting too cozy with the president's staff and briefers. A little distance isn't a bad thing at all, imho.
