Oh. My. God. I really DON’T understand.

[rlmorel]

I don’t do any social media. But if I couldn’t see his tweets, I would set up Twitter.

“Also, Trump has a producer’s credit on Apprentice. If they make money, he makes money. He should be supporting the show, rather than trashing it. Trump’s ego supersedes his business interests, which is scary to contemplate considering he’s about to become President of the United States.”

I bet Arnold receives a much better audience this week. This was “free publicity”.

[Chode]

it's because logic isn't a required class in Urinalism so don't try 8^)

[FreeReign]

“The say, look, we’re all going to agree that we’ll blackout Donald Trump’s tweets, for let’s say, a week,”

More evidence of collusion by the media.

I downloaded Twitter just so I could follow

I don't recall downloading Twitter, but I have an internet tab open to Trump's Twitter feed. Every time I see a new tweet, I read it. I have not "followed" Trump; I wonder how many people like me read his Twitter without following him.

[jch10]

But we get the whole truth, Joy. Why do we need you to spin it?

[RC one]

there they go again-overestimating their importance.

[TalBlack]

Uh, Joy, sweetie, Tweets are, basically, a broadcast...ah never mind ya moron...

[Mollypitcher1]

Exactly! They still don’t realize Trump doesn’t need them, they need Trump or they would have nothing to talk about.
I prefer Twitter. News Straight from the Horses Mouth.

[tiki]

Um, no, we’d have already read them on his Twitter feed.

[Lopeover]

Frankly, I don’t care if the media covers President Elects tweets! He is tweeting to the American people! His constituents!

Media can cover it or not! I am not paying ANY attention to the cultural marxists media!!!!!

Tweet on!!!!!

[Hugin]

I love the way the Left Stream Media complains about Trump only having 143 characters on Twitter (never mind you can always do multiple tweets). As if their carefully edited 7 second sound bites of pressers are soooo informative.

[Crucial]

Right, let’s just ignore what the powerful man in the world is saying.

GENIUS!

[demkicker]

Psst: Unenjoy, if the “media” (and you mean the liberal media) didn’t cover Trump’s tweets for a week, he would give a damn. AND, it would draw more people to conservative or at least fair media sites to get the information.

Once again, the commies are wrong and freaking out, lol!

[SoFloFreeper]

One thing that has been frustrating those in the media now that Donald Trump is about to be President of the United States has been his reluctance to hold conventional press conferences.

Remember all the media screaming when Hitlery wouldn't hold a press conference? Neither do I.

[Pinkbell]

Exactly. It’s hilarious how badly they are missing the point.

[xzins]

Don’t need media. I, along wwith millions of others, get Trump’s feed direct to our twitter account.

[WENDLE]

He is talking to 48 million of us— we dont care about you. Go to Hell.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Yo Joy. Don’t assume that you would be issued a pass to any press conference he may choose to have...
