For some reason, Republicans in office never ever ever ever seem to grasp the fact that the MSM hate their guts and will always hate their guts no matter how nice the Republican is to them, and no matter how brightly the aforementioned MSMers smile during the interview. Republicans in power always seem to suffer from the delusion that they can win the press over and thus get fair reporting. It's amazing.
I think the time for radical action regarding the MSM came a long time ago. 40 years or so. A strong conservative president should announce at his first press conference that he's booting every single one of them out of the White House. Back up his claim of bias with empirical proof and post it online for all to see. Explain to the MSM that all they have to do if they want back in is to REPORT the news in an evenhanded manner. Take them on in crystal clear terms and distribute the heck out of that proof of bias. After all, enough empirical evidence of liberal bias surely exists.

The Republicans remind me of the President in the movie Independence Day. He asks the alien “What do you want us to do?” The alien replies “Die.”
Republican politicians always seem to be looking at the MSM and the Left for the answer to the question “what do I have to do to get your approval?” The answer is “Die.”
