Newt Gingrich on Tuesday said President-elect Donald Trump shouldn't feel any obligation to hold news conferences...
"The news media so totally disgraced itself in this election, if I were Trump I would just say no," Gingrich, a Trump adviser, said during an interview with USA Today's Capital Download. "And if the White House Correspondents' Association doesn't like it, I'd say, 'Fine, disband.'"
On Monday, Trump blasted CNN, saying the network is "so embarrassed" by "their support" of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and has gotten worse since the election.
Gingrich said Trump should continue tweeting, but he should have an "editorial board in-between the first draft and sending it."
"But he shouldn't give it up, and he shouldn't give up being Donald Trump," Gingrich said.

I like that idea! It’d be awesome for President Trump to reward the myriad local newspapers and local television stations who gave fair coverage to him, his supporters, and his events across the heartland of America.
NYTimes has its bail out investor Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim. WaPo is owned by Amazon’s Jeff Bezos. Both are just propaganda rags with no worries about making a profit.
Won’t do any good to have a press conference with Drudge. The Drudge Report doesn’t actually write the news; he and his team simply points to news we conservatives and moderates might be interested in.
Some news outlets need to fade away and some really need their press credentials pulled for what they did during this election cycle such as CNN. Let them report whatever they want from the standpoint of being a tabloid and not a real news outlet.
Actually, Drudge does do “Exclusives” once or twice a year with his own stories. you are right in stating that Drudgereport is more a collection of links, but he does do journalism from time to time.
I bet he’d do a Trump interview.
It is driving the press nuts that Trump is able to end-run them using social media and You-Tube. This is such fun!
He can change the meaning of the MSM and fake news by omitting leftists as unprofessional.
