Three former White House press secretaries issue warnings for press relations under Trump

23. That is true and it helps the other side create their "lamestrean media" meme

Its infuriating. Most of us deplored the MSM during the Bush years how they refused to cover any other angle than pro-war, and had ex-Generals that were heavily invested in the weapons industry on as their expert guests, and rarely, if ever had on any anti-war guest.

That carried on as they did a horrible job when the heath insurance debates were on. We had to pay to watch a Michael Moore movie to find out about other options and exactly how the public option worked in other countries.

There are many other examples. Including allowing right wing "guests" to loudly shout and talk over other guests and hosts, and having on twice as many Republicans than Democrats.

But then you add the distrust of the deplorables who are brainwashed by the 24/7 hate radio stations about the "librul media" to the point that any criticism of Republicans, or report on economic success by a Democrat, is all lies if it comes from these major networks.

They have shat in both beds. And there is a crossover with independents who share both reasons, including the coverup of many facts surrounding 9/11, but that's another thread.

I think Trump may not ever give a traditional press conference. For one he is self-aware enough to know that he does not want to be embarrased by a question on a topic that he knows very little about (which is substantial). But also because like was said, he can control the narrative if he will only speak on Fox News, Twitter, Breitbart, and the Free Republic. And he can call the traditional papers "fake news" and his base will say they don't need to read those traditional news sources anymore.
