If, on the other hand, he felt it necessary to have a press corps, he should grant passes to Breitbart, Infowars, Daily Caller, etc., and pull the passes from hoaxers like WaPo, MSNBC, and CNN (as well as Politico).
AMEN Sean AMEN!!!
Agreed. Unless and until journalists admit the bias and propaganda, disclose their affiliations, whether paid or not, they should not be given access. The media companies themselves should be challenged to state their position on this and to enforce it. Until then, no access.
Oh here is one for you.
* Let them know traditional media will be trimmed back 50%
* Those in it, have to put their media firms name in a lottery to be drawn.
* The other 50 comes from "New Media" and they have to do a lottery for themselves as well.
Oh can you imagine the squealing piglet noises we'd here with that!!!
They were leaked. LEAKED. So now the press is going to get on a moral high-horse and be against leaked documents? I mean, they idolize Woodward and Berstein, the Pentagon Papers. The vaunted Texas Air National Guard memo which purported (fraudulently) to have damning evidence against George W. Bush was LEAKED. I never recall these things ever being described as 'stolen'.
DO freeze out the DNC operatives, masquerading as the Press. The leaked emails show the true extent of infiltration. Anyone named in those chains should have credentials permanently revoked.
Absolutely. The level of hand in glove coordination between the media and the Dems shown by Wikileaks is shocking even for those of us who always knew the lying media was in the tank for the Left. Donald needn’t give them the time of day.
I am in 100% agreement with Sean.
The President Elect does not need the press, they need him screwem Donald, use You Tube and Twitter and the hell with the ny slimes, their ilk and their minions.
Trump can do this and speak directly to you.
Capital idea to hell with the press they only spin and dilute and twist the truth and add their agenda to a speech.
Freeze out the propagandists.

Thanks, Ron Paul.
Trump should yank ABC/NBC/CBS/PBS/NPR broadcast licenses for a full 6 months to a year whilst forming an UN AMERICAN committee to look into biased reporting. While the committee “looks into it”, the above agencies can clean house. (hopefully it breaks them forever).
Maybe Breitbart will end up a cable news channel. They can go out and buy OAN and RSBN.
...and explain the steps they will take to prevent a repeat occurrence...
Until the CEO’S of the alphabet news networks are replaced he should not grant them access. Then only grant access if the new CEO demonstrates the ability to be fair and honest.
I think Trump SHOULD give access to reporters...but only if they’ve been working the past 3 years or so in media markets of under 250,000 people.
Let the big boys deal with that.
Since all the alphabet news sources, NYT, WaPo and AP all run the same stories with the same viewpoint, they should together be allowed one pool reporter, one credential to share. There’s no need for clones.
Not sure how far Trump should go punishing the press but here’s an idea that would really hurt subscription revenue for most publications.
Executive order: Beginning 2/1/17 government will discontinue paying for subscriptions to publications sent to federal government offices. Subscriptions can be made but billing and delivery details must be made individually between the publication and the person requesting a subscription.
I would take it a step further. Only those who apologize publicly would be granted access to Trump press conferences and interviews. To humiliate these bastards, I’d make them grovel as if to a king.
Trump should get the FCC to cancel the air wave rights of ABC, NBC, PBS, and CBS also.
They wanted war? They get war.
