I wonder if he will continue with the daily news briefings with a room full of media. I would stop that practice or reduce it to one day a week.

I wouldn't give CNN any more access than necessary

Right? LOL

Hillary's supporters now say the media cost her the election.

And what choice did you choose to follow when you wrote that, and actually posted it?

Part of having a "free" press is having an impartial press (or at least a balanced press), which CNN clearly is not. I have more respect for MSNBC as they are straight forward with their leftist agenda than I do for CNN, which is clearly a leftist organization but tries to come off as being purely unbiased.

No, it isn't. That's an expectation that the press mostly created for itself and that we do expect from them and that they are failing pretty miserably at. It is not part of having a free press, however. Breitbart is part of the free press. They are clearly not unbiased. That doesn't mean they do no have a right to freedom of speech and that Obama should set his FBI goons on them.

You people are unbelievable.

If Trump bans CNN and other leftist media all the owners gonna do is set up a right-wing Pro-Trump media and they will still make money. Or they might invest their money in other ventures.

The only people that would be affected by that decision is Americans who won't have a way to keep their president in check. If all the media we get is pro-Trump we will never find out what decisions he is making against our well-being.

You people are giving up your liberties so easily. Are you that star-struck?

I said replace CNN. There are only so many reporters you can allow. CNN doesn't deserve it. There should be plenty of media availability for more trustworthy outlets.

The press is never impartial

I watch news from 6 different countries and news channels always have a political agenda. If possible it's best to watch both right-wing and left-wing media to get all the information.

The state should NEVER EVER EVER censor the media. That's what freaking dictators in developing countries do. Don't freaking like it? Don't watch CNN. No one is forcing you to watch CNN.

Did you ever hear democrats saying Obama should censor Fox or Breitbart? Seriously what is wrong with some of you people? Imagine what consequences that could have had if indeed Obama would have done that. Don't you people believe in the constitution anymore because you are star-struck with your new president-elect? I guess our founding fathers fought for nothing since Trump is so great we should give up all our liberties.
