35. Why are you so defensive about the media?

Do you think all the media is very patriotic and would never think of doing such a thing?
How about Breitbart and those types? Should ANY foreign media be allowed in the White House? How about the British? How about the French or Germans? Are you super trusting of all of them just like 100% of the American media?

You should know the NSA sweeps the White House regularly for any 'bugs' or other electronic devices. This whole thread is absurd.
