Somebody on MSNBC was lamenting, that Trump apparently will go around the mainstream media, as he speaks out and makes decisions.

The MSNBC liberals were mad, that Trump would release a video speech summarizing where the transition stands.

What’s up with that? How is this any different, from ANY president, who goes somewhere and gives a speech? Then the media will comment? MSNBC saw the video, and then rendered their opinion from the liberal viewpoint. How are news people somehow “shut out” of the process, if Trump does a video, rather than a formal speech, or a formal press conference? What’s their beef here???

President Trump operating out of NYC and DC creates a completely new dynamic.

Reagan also had a knack for communicating “past” the media, directly to the people.

Trump has played the Media like a violin and will continue to do so until they come into line. They cannot extrapolate and reinterpret his videos. The entire statement is beforeth e citizens without being misinterpreted by the lyingmedia. BRILLIANT, I agree.

Trump, like Reagan, can provide highly valued content through any media source they want. Hillary and most other politicians rely on the media to create and enhance their image, which is difficult to sustain with alternate media.

20JAN2017: No more free rides on AF1. SS and Military needs only.

Speculation: DJT could use the “extra space” for troops going to and coming from the theater?
Tell the press to “pound sand”.

Trump is way ahead of his time utilizing the new media, twitter, you tube etc. He’s crushing the OLD MSM into irrelevancy.

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 4h4 hours ago

I cancelled today's meeting with the failing @nytimes when the terms and conditions of the meeting were changed at the last moment. Not nice

I honestly don’t know of any other man who would grab the Left by their balzacs and make them do what he wants.

When I came to this country, Truman was President and was also known as “Give ‘em Hell, Harry”. Poor Nixon got stuck with “Tricky Dicky”. We gotta’ think of a good moniker for The Donald that lets the world (and the media) know he means business!!!

The standard network (and local Austin stations) trick is to start off a report as if it were about Trump’s accomplishment, then quickly switch to cheap interviews and editorialism completely opposed to Trump.

The media is dishonest and treacherous down into their bone.

I would much rather listen to a you tube video like that. Then you don’t hear all those DAMNED cameras “snapping”. I’m surprised they still allow those with all the digital stuff going on today. Better to just hear him without the “filter” of the news media. Let them comment on the YouTube video. That we can mute.

The MSM is only useful to those who wish to hide their agenda from the public....

I loved watching Mr. Trump's YouTube video in which he laid out his plans for his administration's first 100 days. Short, sweet, concise, clear, focused, and uncluttered.

And it was full of WINNING.

In short, Trump read Alvin Toffler's The Third Wave and decided that the old "massified" mainstream media (MSM) is officially obsolete.

Steve Bannon is driving the Trump train right over the top of the old media.
