Backlash after Donald Trump ditches his press pool
CNN ^ | November 16, 2016 | Brian Stelter

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.

When Demcorat Presidents have done this, the press laughed it off and said, “Oh, he’s so brave and adventurous!”

“It is unacceptable for the next president of the United States to travel without a regular pool to record his movements and inform the public about his whereabouts,”

Why should he make your job easier? You’ll only tell lies about him anyway.

“inform the public about his whereabouts,”

I’m the public and I didn’t know I was supposed to know where he was at all times. Yet another right or entitlement that must be “”inferred” from the Constitution?

Tammy Bruce said that Trump shouldn’t give them any breaks until they start reporting fairly. She’s right!

This reads like a media self parody. They are making themselves a big joke and, I bet, they don’t realize it.

“LOL! Wassa matter gang? No free lunch?”

Trump to White House Correspondents Association:

“You mad, bro’?”

With apologies to Richard Sherman for stealing his line...

“...and inform the public about his whereabouts...”

IOW the Enemy Media is mad that they can’t give accurate coordinates for incoming mortar rounds at the time of their choosing.

*SPIT*

Prayers Up for President-Elect (LOVE THAT!) Trump. He needs an Army of Angels around him at all times!

Dear President-Elect (gawd, I love that phrase!) Trump, please do NOT let the MSM follow you around in certain circumstances. Especially if they try to "mooch" a free meal at one of your resorts.

Get used to it, pressitutes.
I suspect Trump will be doing this often during his presidency.

Payback’s a Hillary.

And now, the race is over
And so I face inaugeration
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll tweet my case, of which I'm certain
I've run a campaign that's full
I've flown to each and every city.
But more, much more than this
I did it my way

Network ads, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When they claimed it was more than I could chew
But through it all, I had no doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall
And did it my way

If I was Trump I would tell CNN they get no where near the President until they conduct a full investigation into CNN Debate Fixing.

They were not invited to dinner. I am all for Donald Trump staying away from those buzzards hounding him. The road kill is in the democratic section. Why not see if there is a story around them.

They really are as pretentious and self-important and arrogant as anybody has ever imagined.

“I hope he does this 2-3x/ week, from now on.”
And at the same time, stay in for the evening and leak out that he has gone to various places. Then watch the cess pool scramble for the door on their wild goose chases.. Not only was this the BEST election ever, it is going to be the BEST presidency EVER!

Pff, who cares? The media already does everything they can to inflame people against Trump, so the threat of a “backlash” is empty. They can’t treat him any worse.

96% of the MSM voted for cankles, and lied about DJT.

I tweeted DJT that he should give OANN, Drudge, Breitbart press releases, and RSBN youtube videos of events.
Furthemore pull press credentials for biases offfenders, and make the press make their own way when traveling.

Make them earn respect. Like Hannity says “Journalism is dead”.

These are DNC propagandists. I remember how they cut support for Dubya to 38% by constant negative press

His mistake is not fighting back.

You better pay attention to us now and do what we want or we’ll say really bad things about you.

Would you not just LOVE to see Laura Ingraham addressing this at a daily white house press briefing?
