Just put up a big screen in the coffee mess.

Tune it to Trump’s tweets.

Provide chairs free.

If they want coffee, there is a vending machine.

“Best election ever. I’m sure we’ll have the “Fireside Chats” sort of discourse.”

Actually, what I would like to see is Trump sitting at a desk in the Press Room with his feet up on the desk, with a newly installed fireplace behind him, giving a weekly Fireside Chat. Revenge is a dish best served cold.

I wonder if DjT could get away with a requirement that approx 1/2 of a medium's employees/reporters/editors are Republican ? We know that 90+% donate to Dems.

In other words, " present both sides", otherwise get the hell out of our press room. 62 million voters are interested in OUR positions, as well as yours...the democratic/media complex.

I think it could work.

To get a press pass make them sign a statement that would read:

I _________ of ____________ will abide by the highest standards of journalism by reporting all news and press releases in a fair and truthful manner.

The screaming from the media would be a riot!

...at worst, DjT could implement a policy of acknowledging only those media outlets which represent fair and balanced reporting. Media would bitch, but as you remember there is massive dislike of the media, so who cares.

Not to avoid any difficult or important questions, but let them come from legit organizations which have shown they're not on a gotcha' campaign.

How many press conferences did Obozo have? Very few. Trump should have noose than he did. They are useless and only make the White House press corps feel relevant, which they aren’t.

Maybe he will skip live pressers and do a live Twitter session. That would be pithy.

NYT just assigned another to the WH crew. They number 8 not 6. I wouldn’t let them in the room until they act like real journalists not democratic fake news people.
