The following comments are based on the article, "NBC's Matt Lauer confronts Trump over his tweeting: Are you having a 'difficult time breaking' this habit?" from Business Insider.

This morning on NBC’s “Today” show Matt Lauer talked to Donald Trump about his tweet addiction. Matt asked “I have not see you backing off fights on Twitter,” referring to Trump's attacks on Boeing for cost overruns, the cast of Hamilton, The New York Times, “Saturday Night Live,” and the media in general. Trump replied "No, I think I am very restrained, and I talk about important things.”

Trump went on to defend his tweets and Facebook posts as the fastest and most efficient way to get a message out. Especially when compared to the time to generate and publish a press release.

“If the media would report things correctly I wouldn’t have to tweet, but that probably will never happen”....

It begins to dawn on Matt that his profession is obsolete.

Red Diaper baby, Matty, and his peers, thanks to Trump by passing them, are now irrelevant.

If Trump rearranges the chairs in the White House Press Room, and some lesser figures in the first two rows...then the networks are screwed. Between that, Tweets, social media and an aggressive internal campaign...political commentary by the various networks (to include MSNBC and CNN) will make them look awful marginal. Why pay any attention to their brand or products?

They hate the fact that Trump goes around them, that they dont get to take what he says to them and reinterpret it to us.

Matt is just upset that the other side is now also employing the new technologies that Democrats have been employing for many years now. It’s just not fair!!!

Matt should be spending his energies worrying about how to escape the Hillary revenge that is surely coming.

Lauer wouldn't care about Trump's twitter activity, if few people read Trump's tweets.

Lauer was hostile and defensive for the entire interview.

“The essay I want to share with you is one the most excellent and far-reaching pieces of truth I have ever read. The writer is Carl Herman. Carl Herman is a National Board Certified Teacher of US Government, Economics, and History; also credentialed in Mathematics...he demands a clear vision of the current Mainstream Media hoax that is currently being played upon Alternative Media.

He gives examples of the true hoax of Mainstream Media, which has been played on the American people for a very long time. That is how Alternative Media was born….we had to find our way from the darkness of lies to Light of truth. The Internet is both a positive and negative entity, but Alternative Media has become the positive force of the Internet...”

Cheney To CNN’s Barbara Starr: Trump Took Us To Point Where We Don’t Need You Guys Anymore

I think one of the reasons people get so concerned about the tweets is it is sort of a way around the press. He doesn’t have to rely upon, uh, rely upon — this is the modern era, modern technology. He’s at the point where we don’t need you guys anymore.

The MSM is outraged over this, they are no longer the middle man for disseminating news with their spin.

Notice Trump is taking about an hour a week for his bully pulpit right in the middle of the network’s prime time programming. My guess is in a few weeks Trump will be getting the networks to come begging him to stop!

Lauer is worried that Trump will bypass the media for 4 years. AND HE WILL.

We must band together somehow, somehow...to completely finish off the mainstream media as a viable force of news since they don’t really report the news, but instead are part of a leftist propaganda machine. Their organizations must go out of business. It has to happen.
