I do not think that Trump should be ditching the Honest Objective Press Enterprise Reporters (HOPER) but he should steer clear of the Swamp Soaker (SS) media. If he hangs out with the SS loyalists then he’ll be in trouble.

Yes! For as long as it takes until they come correct. Also realizing what they are . . . newsreaders. Brexit isn’t the only thing the Brits got right.

I find it ironcial that the presstitutes are doubling down on failure over "transparency."
Obama treated them like house servants, at best, and dogs, at worst. And, instead of doing the job of 'journalism', these same MSM bent over, again and again.
But now that a conservative (I hate to use the term 'Republican' to describe President-Elect Trump) is in charge, suddenly, 'transparency' becomes so important to the MSM, to the extent that their vapors are interfering, once again, it seems, with their ability to do the job of journalist.
It continues to be about what it has always been for the MSM: access, power, and influence. And all the more tragicomedy because Obama treated them worse.
The MSM is complaining, futilely, to the hardcore 30-40% Leftists (Bernie and Killary voters), and continuing to ignore the other 60% of the country, that doesn't like or respect the press.
I think that the MSM is not increasing their viewership, outside of those areas held hostage to CNN (airports, bars, McDeath), that actually care enough to pressure President-Elect Trump to also care enough about their feelings.

Trump should allow those that were supportive of him to accompany him. To the winner goes the spoils. What? MSM upset?

There is no press to shun.
The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.

Trump should have let a print and broadcast reporter follow him to “21,” and sent his bill to their table.

To: Jeff Chandler
Trump probably sees them for what they are - pond scum. They are out to drive a leftist agenda, they are looking for the best headline and the most hits to their site, twitter, or whatever.
Given the attacks, the bias, the wikileaks, etc.. it is reasonable reporters to expect that they will need to rebuild trust with Trump and about 50% of the country.

Yeah, but it’s the MSM. They would view that as a YUGE favor. Trump would have to send them to a straight bar for it to be viewed as a prank.
