For the second time in a week, president-elect Donald Trump has abandoned precedent and traveled without the "press pool," a small group of journalists assigned to cover his movements. The move Tuesday night has spurred a strong backlash.

If there’s news, Steve Bannon will make sure it gets reported. :-)

He'll make sure it gets reported first on Breitbart!

Where was the press pool to “historically document” Bill Clinton’s trips on Epstein’s jet to pedophile island?

Strong backlash?

What? So now they’re going to go negative on him? LMAO

That ship has sailed...

He’s got full a full dose of broad spectrum inoculations for that.

Cry us a river MSM.

Guess the view from their perch isn't quite as enjoyable these days.

Attack them in the wallet.

No press pool.

No daily briefings where they get to spar with the guy out front every morning.

Issue announcements. By twitter or website.

Their employer won’t keep them employed to do nothing for 4 yrs. Destroy all celebrity reporters.

This is from a press that wouldn’t tell us about Bill Clinton’s trips to pervert paradise, or Hillary’s drunken election night rage.

They need to cease calling themselves the “press pool” and adopt a more appropriate name.....”a group of whining liberals intent on exploiting or fabricating anything that will demean the president elect”.

I hope future President Trump continues to beat the “press” at their infantile games.

“The move Tuesday night has spurred a strong backlash.”

Given the ethnic makeup of the press, is this an example of the “white backlash” I’ve been hearing about?

The press are exactly the same whiney retards that the college students are. It’s unacceptable to who? You? What are you going to do about it, write nasty stories in your rags that no one pays attention to? You already do that. We couldn’t care less.

Oh these poor babies, I mean these media elitist types think they ave a right at all times to have what they want, how dare Trump go for a meal without them.

Now remember when Chewbacca went to Target and supposedly never told the press, yea I know it was a set up, but we are led to believe she wanted to be with normal people, and not a peep from the media, instead she was given praise.

Double standards yet again by the media.

I am already sick and tired. This is what the next 4 years are going to be. The press will rip and tear at Trump non stop. Establishment politicians in congress will stop his agenda.

I’m glad Trump won, but this country is screwed. The media and congress will ensure it is Globalism forever.

Good luck President Trump.

This seems like a benefit from a security standpoint.

He notified them after the fact so he didn’t hide anything. He hasn’t lied like Obama. They can go verify the meal if they want to.

They didn’t accurately report Obamacare or “global warming”. If they want to write novels let them do it a home. Why does he owe them anything?

The public doesn’t owe them anything either because they are not accurate. It would be better if they would devote their energies into sweeping the streets.
