FWIW - I didn't find ANY photos of Spicer and PEOTUS together.

Odd, huh?

The media don’t respect Trump, they will never respect Trump, and it galls them no end that Trump will be president in less than two weeks.

It occurred to me yesterday evening that while Twitter conveys a message, Facebook would be better. I suspect there will be a facebook page conveying the same info as the press briefing

Screw the press. Forget the polls. They are always WRONG.

The press hated Reagan. They hate Trump.

All Trump has to do is BE TRUMP!

Remember, Trump spent <1/2 of what Hillary Spent. (he is sane) Hillary spent a reported 1.2 Billion trying to buy the office, and that is way understated. There is no telling what Soros agents spent.

Starve the Media. Expose their lies daily. (he needs staff to do that) He had big things to deal with, the press is not important if he does what he must do.

The ABC evening news is on in our house. I am usually cleaning up the kitchen while it’s on, but I catch the gist. I cannot recall even one instance where Trump was given fair, let alone favorable, coverage in months and months. It’s truly laughable. Sometimes I asked for “equal” time and we switch over the Fox News. Trump is rarely lauded there either, but at least it’s somewhat balanced pro and con.

Why would he consult with Dana Perino?

Spicer, as part of Trump’s crew, needs to tell his boss that continuing to send him and Conway to the ongoing Trump bash-fests at the MSM outlets just gives the enemy more ammunition to shoot at Trump. The MSM outlets have not ever, and will not ever, give Trump and his administration anything but the back of their hand. By Trump’s willingness to throw his spokespeople to the MSM wolves, Trump is enabling the very disrespect that Spicer decries. It’s a new age with all sorts of options for Trump to get his word out. The MSM has been totally discredited during the past year and half. Trump needs to cut the cord with the bastards and get out from under the stupidity of the past methods of communications. He must stop giving the MSM oxygen to legitimize their propaganda against him.

".....people can't just take potshots without being held accountable.”

Yesterday I had one of the press type panels explain that if Trump departs from the way the press is used to being handled, that he risks a backlash from them.
I laughed. When they are 100% hostile already, their threats have zero weight.

Few people trust the mainstream media (MSM) outside of New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles and Washington, DC. Especially since WikiLeaks showed the direct link between the MSM and the Democratic National Committee back in late July 2016--essentially the MSM is a form of state-run media like the Soviet Union era Pravda.

many in the media have expressed frustration over Trump’s frequent taunts of the press on Twitter.

It's only fair. He's only returning fire.

There is also displeasure in the press for Trump’s refusal to hold a news conference.

Why should he give the enemy any fodder for them to twist, mis-report or ignore?

Spicer argues his boss's social media activity...ultimately means little to the people he's been elected to serve.

They already hate the media, and the feeling is apparently mutual. The "press" cannot twist his twitter posts before the public sees them....only savage them after the fact.

Journalists and everyone in America has a Constitutional right to express themselves or write what they want to write,” Spicer explained. “But he equally has a right to make sure that the record is set straight, the facts are known, and that people can't just take potshots without being held accountable.”

Yeah, the media/press/RATagandists have a duty to tell the truth and properly inform the public, otherwise they are the enemy.

They will be held accountable by Trump and the American People.

What the media doesn’t understand is it’s not just Trump who dislikes them. Americans don’t like them. The more they disrespect him the more they are showing their disrespect for us

Keep it up and they will soon be joining the ranks of the unemployed.

“I think for a lot of folks inside the beltway, and inside pundit-world, they don’t fully appreciate the understanding that he has of where the American people are,” Spicer continued. “They continue to mock him in ways, when it frankly just shows the lack of understanding of that they have of where the American people are and what they think.”

That’s a very perceptive way to put it: every time the fake stream media attacks or mocks President Trump, we supporters of his fully understand we’re the ones being attacked and mocked as well.

So, go ahead and keep it up, fake stream media: a few more months of this and ya’ll will have rendered yourselves completely irrelevant; after all, what’s the point of bothering to read WaPo, NYT and the rest since one already knows everything they’re going to say, even before they say it, namely: “President Trump did [fill in the blank], which we’re lying about to try to convince you is very, very bad”.

We don’t miss the “old gotcha” press conferences with the whining and lying liberal mediots telling us what to believe and how to vote!

Official Washington is being traumatized by the tweets of Donald Trump.

Politico has chronicled the pearl clutching concern by the inside the beltway types over Trump's tweets. It seems Trump speaking directly to the people via Twitter is causing a crisis among politicians and lobbyists, who just don't know how to handle it as reflected in the article title, Trump’s Twitter feed traumatizes Washington.

Some people are suggesting that pro-Trump speakers or commentators should stop MSM appearances. So wrong! I live in small town America and few people have Twitter here. Some have Facebook. Many only get the alphabet networks. We cannot withdraw and leave a vacuum.
