I can’t believe this is going to do any good for Trump. It looks bad if he can’t deal with the press. I know the Trumpers here love it and love to hate Fox or whoever the nemesis du jour is. But the world is much much bigger than FR and for Trump to look so petty cannot be a good thing.

This needs a modernized revamp, but the intent is still the same.

In this case, FoxNews has 24-7 they can aim against Trump.

You are correct that this may not end up helping Trump. If other media see it as weakening his run, they will taste blood. That will make them equally dangerous to Trump's campaign.

“I can’t believe this is going to do any good for Trump.”

And playing nice WILL do good for Trump?

I’m all for honest give and take in order to find out policy positions, etc., but it’s not possible.

We’ve watched this media game for years where they beat down candidates until they’re a bloody pulp, and we’re left with nothing but squishes.

Haven’t we been screaming for someone who can play hardball and beat them at their game? Well, like him or not, Trump is doing just that.
