U.S. President-elect Donald Trump plans to select the media representatives who are given access to the presidential press briefing room, but will not move the room out of the White House, he said in interview with Fox News broadcast on Wednesday.

Trump, whose election campaign was punctuated by a stream of Twitter messages, also said he plans to keep tweeting when he takes office on Friday.

"Look, I don't like tweeting. I have other things I could be doing. But I get very dishonest media, very dishonest press. And it's my only way that I can counteract," said the Republican president-elect.

Good! The media hates it, so it’s good for America.

It strips power from the MSM when the President can bypass them and go directly to the people.

I don't mind the tweeting, but I would ask him to observe two rules:

1. Make sure they're coherent, and that all the words are spelled correctly.

2. Don't waste time tweeting nonsense about people, animals, objects and @ssholes that have nothing to do with making America great again.

Don’t think it as Tweeting. Think of it as creating and delivering tomorrow’s MSM headlines - for free. :)

Drive those liberals INSANE Mr. President!

Keep doing it!

I remember the press having no issue with Obola using technology to communicate in 2007-2008. But it was “innovative” back then according to the press.

Now that Trump is doing it, it’s a “security threat”. Balderdash!

Yes!

As Rush said, every time Trump tweets he makes the media even more irrelevant.

tweeting is a brilliant response to the media cartel’s manipulating of news and interviews. I guess I’ll have to learn how to use it. (a bit difficult for an octogenarian)

Anything that tweaks the hell out of the MSM is fine with me.
