The relationship between Donald Trump and the news media is as acrimonious as ever following his victory in Tuesday’s presidential election.
Members of the press complain that Trump isn't adequately informing the media about his decisions as president-elect, calling it a violation of practices meant to ensure access to and transparency around the leader of the free world.
The tensions come after a bitter campaign, in which Trump used the press as a foil.
The Republican nominee frequently lambasted the news media as “dishonest” during his rallies, and crowds would chant slogans such as “CNN sucks” and hurl invective at members of his traveling press corps. Trump continued the theme late Thursday night, when he took to Twitter to blame the media for fueling nationwide protests against his election as president. He walked back his comment in a subsequent tweet.
Here are some of the points of contention:
Press Pool
Trump did not allow reporters to travel with him to Washington on Thursday for meetings with President Obama and leaders in Congress.
His team never allowed a so-called “pool” of reporters and photographers to travel on his plane during the campaign.
Every modern president and president-elect has traveled with a pool, but news organizations have thus far failed to convince Trump’s advisers to immediately adopt the practice.
The White House, and not Trump’s team, made arrangements to have a pool of journalists cover the president-elect’s meeting with President Obama in the Oval Office.

“calling it a violation of practices meant to ensure access to and transparency around the leader of the free world”
Ah ha ha..that’s a good one. Tell us another..oh, wait i am sure they have 20 trillions tons of crap unload.
The media are like that stalker ExGirlfrield that just wont go away. Lol.
Thank you Mr. PRESIDENT.
There is abundant empirical evidence that the corrupt MSM are nothing more than an apparatus of the DNC. They even repeatedly admitted that they believed they were justified in openly propagating against Trump.
In the same way one doesn’t hand bullets to an enemy, they should absolutely get nothing.
I wonder if people here can simply call or email the companies (Toyota, GM, and other well known brands) that advertise in the major newspapers and on the evening newscasts and just simply tell them what you think of the press and their antics and by virtue of these companies buying ad space or time with these outlets, they are giving them this money. Therefore, you and your family and friends will no longer be buying their product(s).
They're getting killed because they got caught....not reporting the news....but manipulating the news per "Hillary's/Dems Orders".
Is that real?
His team never allowed a so-called “pool” of reporters and photographers to travel on his plane during the campaign.
Key phrase: “HIS plane”
If they ride on HIS plane, then Trump is libel for anything that happens to them.
He doesn’t owe them any special favors, because;
1. It’s HIS plane, HIS dime, and HIS choice.
2. He’s not officially the President, yet.
3. He knows what liars they are.
Lots of things are going to change for the press expecting Obama business as usual practices. Trump will be controlling the access.
The media is in full time nit-picking mode to disparage his presidency at every opportunity...and he knows it.
That is a great idea!
IIRC, if you wanted to meet with Washington, you had to make an appointment. He was NOT readily available except in his little circle.

This coming from the people who openly aided and abetted Hillary Clinton and now they want to appear objective again? Screw them!
The Donald DOES inform the media - every time he gets up to speak. It is the media that does not choose to listen and report accurately what he says.
But then, the media did not report accurately all that the campaign for Herself, Madame Benghazi, the Cold & Joyless, had to say. In fact, the media reported little useful information about either side, but wrote its own narrative as it went along.
That means Trump could have little incentive to overhaul its press strategy.
When the media stopped being adversarial to government they forfeited any privilege they had AFAIC.
Perhaps White House press credentials for ALL the current “reporters” should be pulled and then be earned to be allowed back in.
The media thought they were ‘cute by half’ now they are sitting wondering when they are going to get a ‘crumble’ of news, they aren't going to...
The media screwed themselves and now they have to have ‘consequences’ that they caused...they could have reported it honestly and without lies, but they chose to do differently, to bad, so sad...your finished media...
“Press worries over President-elect Trump”
They should worry. They are the enemy within and the less they know the better off we are. There are actual news sources available. We do not need their filtered BS.
