They still don’t get it ... he isn’t going to change to suit their desires. They are going to have to get off their lazy a$$es and start doing some work rather than sitting in a press briefing room waiting for the next load of whale feces from Obama type losers.

I have the ap on my iPad. I need to put it on my phone but now that I’m mostly retired the iPad isn’t far away.

The main stream media is making their pants wet on this one. After being caught as liars, over and over again, during the campaign and killing negative Hillary stories, Trump is now making them irrelevant, worthless, and useless.

MSM knows that they are about to be made obsolete, that ad revenue/income will disappear and that they are losing their power to sway the American public with their BS political propaganda. As Trump succeeds in using the social media they fully realize they are on the way down and out.

This scares the hell out of them and they are desperate to change the situation. They can try, but they can’t change anything, it is way too late for that.

Trumps communications will be reported no matter what they do. The MSM is arrogant enough to think they are important enough and powerful enough to take on Trump. They are not, he will destroy them.

This whole thing is about the media being castrated of their political power by Trump and there is not a damn thing they can do to stop it. Trump is doing the cutting in slow motion with a dull unsanitary knife and they are feeling the pain as they watch their money stream and power fade away.

The media needs to simply go back to reporting the news, honestly and accurately, and not try and make the news or tell anyone how or what to think. This is the only way they will survive.

Anything else is just BS arrogance on their part and will lead to their demise.

I don’t remember the MSM going to pieces when Hillary or Obama went months without press conferences. Of course, they had inside info we deplorables didn’t need./s

She is wrong. There are 19.1 million followers and even more viewing his tweets. I joined twitter.com just to follow Trump. That is all I do with twitter and that way, I avoid the drive-by-media filter. It is rewarding to get messages directly from President Trump.

A tad entitled, the old media is. Still expecting business, like the old Bates Motel.

Am I missing something? Did Obama have press conferences? He may have had a few but they were few and far between. Did the media care? Uhh.. No.

And he’ll take over POTUS soon and there are a lot of new followers on that account. They are likely Obama people so he reaches another huge democratic. Them there is Facebook and Instagram. The media as currently constituted is not needed. It mostly serves a a form of entertainment for many

Maybe. maybe not. Trump’s fans don’t need the MSM to disseminate his Twitter postings. Most of them have access to “social media” and I think some of them look at Twitter now and then, do you suppose?
