The problem with this approach is that you are accepting the premise that they are deserving of respect. They are not. They are professional liars who have been manipulating elections by what they cover and by what they refuse to cover. It needs to be pointed out that these people are agents of one party, and the best way to accomplish this is to demonstrate contempt for them.

The sooner the public is made aware that these people are propaganda tools, the better for the nation.

It needs to be pointed out that these people are agents of one party, ...

Absolutely right.

No way would Obama or any liberal participate in a "press conference" where the main questioners were from: CPAC, Heritage Foundation, NRA, Term Limits USA, Americans for Tax Reform, National Right to Life Committee, Numbers USA... etc.

When Trump has a press conference led by CNN, NYT, WP, AP, ABC, NBC, CBS... he is giving his political enemies a free shot.

Freeze them out. Make them stand outside the White House along with The Nation, Slate, Salon.com, Mother Jones... etc.

I do understand everything that all of you are saying. It is just that a set of ground rules can be established to which the press must adhere. Someone with determination and a strong will has not really done that yet. Trump has altered to the playing field, though.

I do not believe a press secretary should be trying to face such a large number of journalists all at once. That scenario has to change.

A well-researched, thoughtful response can demonstrate that someone is a propagandist or lacks integrity. No need exists for profanity.
