Trump, I think, is taking the same approach that Clinton took.

In his run-up to the presidency, the Clinton campaign responded to every negative comment, no matter how trivial. By doing so, the media quickly learned that to criticize Clinton was to invite return fire, so they quickly stopped.

As a result, Clinton was later praised as a savvy campaigner. Trump, of course, is being characterized as thin-skinned.

Your right. The media are like a pack of dogs. Whack the alpha dog on the nose and they'll back off. Fail to handle them and they'll rip you to shreds.
