The White House Correspondents Association is obsessed with attacking Trump.

Trump should start denying them press credentials.

That would create a hissy fit that would be fun to watch.

Screw your long-standing tradition of propagandizing the public!

Trump should also decline to attend the annual White House Correspondents Dinner. It’s a ridiculous spectacle, almost as bad a President’s appearing on late night talk shows.

As a minimum, I would demand that the current White House Correspondents be retired, rotated out or just put out to pasture saying it is time for the bias to stop. Show me with some correspondent picks of people that love this country and card carrying liberal zealots.

The White House Correspondents Association has to be ready to respond much more forcefully if Trump continues to ignore long-standing traditions of press access.

I'm sure the media making threats goes a long way towards mending their credibility as fact reporting journalists.

Trump talks to people on Twitter. He ignores the press. They hate he will make them obsolete.

They tried to pull this crap on the Obamanation of Desolation when, he was a candidate in 2008 and took his daughters “Trick or Treating” on Halloween. He basically told them in no uncertain terms to “F**K Off and leave us alone. This is not a campaign event.” (Literally that is what he said to the reporters following him) It is one of the few things he’s done that I agreed with. He and his family, especially the daughters have a right, as much is possible to a normal childhoods.

The difference is that other reporters took the Obamanation of Desolation’s side in the argument and he got an apology from the reporters following him.

And if Trump tells them to buzz off what is the press going to do - start saying bad things about him?

Let me get this straight....

The man wants to eat a meal with his family in peace. And he’s not even the president yet....

And the media has a problem with this???

I can only imagine the outrage when he refuses to allow them to follow him into the Mens room....

If I were DJT, I would grant press access only on condition of each coming before him and confessing to the at-least year and a half long massive propaganda campaign they conducted on him and force them to broadcast same. And I would publicly announce that he was conducting such a directive for the purpose of restoring credibility to an industry that have abased itself to where 80% of Americans trust the media any more. I would rigorously enforce it. And until such a time as they performed such a public apology and confession, I would bar them from covering press conferences, etc; and leave it at that.

“Tradition” is not law, it is a privilege.

When the press reports truthfully without progressive propaganda, maybe then you will have regained the trust of the President and We the People.

I’d like to see them publicly detail their expectations as well as the potential repercussions if those demands continue to be ignored.

EASY ANSWER:

Any Reporter or Journalist that has made Deliberate False Statements or Misrepresented FACTS in any way, SHALL be PROHIBITED from the White House Pool.

Now go change your diaper you snivveling whining quisling reporters.

"...as well as the potential repercussions if those demands..."

So this obviously retarded chimp feels the heads of the "5 major news organizations" have it within their purview to threaten the President-elect?

They better pray to whatever venal demigod they honor that Trump doesn't come after them with everything in his soon-to-be unmatched presidential bully-pulpit arsenal. They may find themselves out of a job...

92% Negative coverage and he beat all of you. You “Journalists” don’t seem to realize you have no power.

Trump should have just the small citizen press to be the White House press including only the outlets that report real news.

Trump should expand the White House web site to include video of his speeches, and the President’s blog. Have it be the case that the MSM gets no access that isn’t also equally given to every little blog, and indeed anybody who chooses to go to the whitehouse.gov site to see for himself.

Have reporters submit questions via email. Trump’s office will pick what questions to answer, and will post the question and its answer on whitehouse.gov for all the world to see. Have it be the case that Drudge and Breitbart have at least as much chance of getting their questions addressed as CNN and the NY Times do.

Completely destroy the modia’s status as the gatekeeper for access to the President’s views.
