Trump’s use of Twitter is a mega-paradigm shift. And I hope they mentioned how the MSM and the entrenched political class was begging him to stop using it after the election so he could “look more Presidential.” He never listened to them - to his great advantage.

The crumbling NY/DC media complex doesn't want him using it because it makes them even more irrelevant.

Trump killed the "don't pick a fight with the man who buys ink buy the barrel." Maybe they can just shove their ink barrels - and their NYC studios - right up their asses.

“The crumbling NY/DC media complex doesn’t want him using it because it makes them even more irrelevant.”

Exactly! In recent [”old”] days, they owned the ink, President would speak, and they would write (filter, spin, distort) what they want the reader to think the President said... or did not say. With Trump’s use of Twitter, his twitter followers don’t need to consult the ink owners to know what Trump said. Instead the media ends up reporting exactly what Trump tweets (followed by their outrage) and thus his tweets further reaches those that don’t follow him on twitter. Hence, the media complex moves toward irrelevancy as they now appear as the naked political hacks that they are and not journalists which they have never been.
