Trump needs to elevate the alternative media.
Give long interviews to outlets like Breitbart.
Never call on MSM at press conferences.
Switch from manipulating Twitter to GAB.AI
Have a well-heeled friend start a competitor to Google/Youtube and promote it heavily.
Ditto for a Facebook replacement.
Only go on One America News...never CNN/FOX/NBC/CBS/ABC
Regularly appear on conservative radio like Rush, Hannity, Savage.
Hit them in the pocketbook....let them know that when they shape up he will again work with them.
This money shot punch line should have been at the end of the article:
********************************************
“Only a fevered hive mind, poisoned by unearned self-regard and a delusional sense of its own moral superiority, could seriously equate a politician pointing out the obvious fact that today’s reporters are mostly lying, incompetent jerks with Hitlerian press censorship. Tell you what – I’ll believe you when the National Guard shows up to shut down CNN by padlocking the makeup room.”
*********************************************
THAT is good writing.
Kudos to author Kurt Schlichter
Kurt Schlichter (Twitter: @KurtSchlichter), Senior Columnist for Townhall.com, was personally recruited to write conservative commentary by Andrew Breitbart. He is a name partner at a growing Los Angeles trial law firm, a retired Army Infantry colonel with a masters in Strategic Studies from the United States Army War College, and a former stand-up comic.
Schlichter suffers no fools. I have a dream that he will someday, cigar in mouth, be the next WH press secretary.

Very good writing. Now my question is. Is he single :D
I’ve watched the following scenario in EVERY PRESS CONFERENCE I EVER SAW:
The Pundit from MSM: Mr. BlahBlah, (rest of question follows)
The Respondent: Well, (then he goes on for about seven more words and...)
The Pundit interjects: But what about something else yada yada
It happens ALL THE TIME! Watching a press conference is USELESS because you never get to hear the responses! As soon as the person being interviewed starts answering the press, the press interrupts with a modified question.
ALL media outlets are guilty of the above!
And today I keep hearing about “Freedom of the press...” on the tube, I almost gag on that one, freedom to ask a question and then before it gets answered, freedom to butt in and ask another one... over and over and over and over!
‘Master T’...ROTFLMAO!
Trump’s enemy of the people tweet seems to have driven the fakestreamers completely over the edge. Every thing else is third page this morning. Trump really hit a nerve.
Stop inviting baddies to your press conferences. Let them compete to get in. No reserved seats for the hostile press haters, None!
Trump understood early on that the media is basically an extension of the Democratic Party, and by treating them as such he won the election. By continuing the battle, he is not only improving his chances for re-election, but hopefully changing the dynamic of how American voters receive news.
Those who controlled the masses with fake news, and the beneficiaries of that control of the masses, should be alarmed; this is a game-changer.
The press has been schlictered
kinda raw coming from townhall... this is a first. could have been a little more professional about it. Ill check out a womans bod in a heart beat, but don’t really need the verbage when I read an article on politics. 2 thumbs down...
The press conferences with Obama had a very different tone.
“Mr. President, please beat me”, sighed Little Jim Acosta.
the MSM should have to register as a political action committee.
“Have a well-heeled friend start a competitor to Google/Youtube and promote it heavily...Ditto for a Facebook replacement.”
When, within the first 100 or 200 days? Unfortunately, I don’t think he could do it during his first four years.
These are supposed to be press conferences, where reporters ask questions. They are not debates. Too many times the reporters shouted back talking points to Trump's answers. Ask the questions and shut up. If you don't like the answers, too bad.
I would love to see Trump put on a little video presentation at his next presser. Show some of the puff questions Obama used to get.
“the MSM should have to register as a political action committee”
For all intents and purposes, that’s exactly what they seem to be.
