Stop making excuses. Reporting should not be getting together to gang up on someone. Reporting should be just that, reporting the news. This person is nothing more than a SJW posing as a reporter.
And I just love how you say to ”take her quote into account” when the Leftist media does just the oppposite when they use Trump quotes out of context to smear him, like literally all the time. They don’t like it when they get a taste of their own medicine.
And, being the President of this country should be the most open, informative, non partisan job in the country. We pay his salary, and who is he to think he is above all of us and that he does not have to provide factual, civil answers to the questions put to him.
If he were the CEO of a company, and the stockholders got the same treatment these reporters get from him, he would be out on his ear. Trump is not God, or a Dictator, he is the servant of the American people. Nothing more, nothing less.

Trump knows who he works for, which is why he thrives on Twitter, and in rallies, and in these press conferences, because he can talk directly to people. He doesn't need the media reporters... and that makes them crazy.
" PBS “reporter” Yamiche Alcindor was heard happily exclaiming that the role of the press is to be Trump’s enemy."
I have always considered PBS part of the Lame (left) Stream Media. LSM.
But, but,but the LSM is NOT biased, just "reporting" the "news" and should NOT be criticized for excising their 1st amendment right of Freedom of the Press!
If you take her quote into account, and not the erroneous interpretation of the Washington Sentinel columnist, how is she wrong?
Trump won't answer questions from one reporter, so other reporters - who also want to know the answer - ask the same question again.
If Trump weren't such an aggrandizing egomaniac and answer the damn question instead of hurling personal insults, perhaps reporters wouldn't feel the need to team up in order to get the information they seek.
Reporters are going to stick together. It's the nature of the job. You insult one reporter, you insult every reporter in the room, and beyond. How stupid is Trump that he doesn't understand that?
"If you take her quote into account, and not the erroneous interpretation of the Washington Sentinel columnist, how is she wrong?
If you take into account what LSM CONSTANTLY spews their "erroneous interpretation" of what Trump and other repubs say...?

"reporting the news" Most have forgotten, or never knew, news is an acronym, for reporting what is happening in the North East West and South in your area or national. Not biased "interpretations", distortion and outright lies based on their political bias.
LOL, yours are not “facts.” They’re just your opinion.
And no, some of these reporters are not interested in getting information but to get someone entrapped by their leading and deceptive questions. For example, they want Trump to say something that they can use as a headline to smear him. Trump refuses to fall into their trap and then you claim he is not answering their question.
No, you are the one being fooled by the media. This is no longer the old days where journalists are impartial and have integrity. Most now have a Leftist agenda and only want to promote their Leftist agenda by helping Democrats and vilifying Republicans.
"They’re just your opinion" and biased unfounded distortions and accusations.
Mentally-ill DJT is incapable of handling criticism, and the job of a reporter is to ask probing questions that are difficult to answer. His own belligerence has created this environment. Unfortunately there's not a good solution. This is how it will be until somebody more mentally stable is at the helm.
"Mentally-ill DJT", no one on the left has any room to talk.
Alcindor does represent the problem in today's media. She and almost everyone on MSNBC... Many others, but that's who I've witnessed. The president has an important job right now, and they think the biggest win possible would be to undermine and humiliate him, live on camera.
Trump wears his weaknesses on his sleeve... but he also wears his strengths. He's an open book, trying to do an unscripted job in a difficult time. If you want to find something to criticize and exploit, you can easily.... but tell me, how does that help?
How does it help to attempt to undermine the president, distract from the message, and cultivate mistrust? I say attempt, because increasingly, I think people are seeing it. The news outlets who are most guilty of this are the least watched. Mistrust and blame are NOT what people want to hear right now. From either side.
There is no perfect in this... there is only people, working through a crisis. It is going to be messy, but there is nothing to be gained from nitpicking every misstep and exploiting every weakness or imperfect word used. There is much to be gained from trying to pull together to get through this. Which thing are you doing? Which goal are you supporting? Not just them, US.
"The news outlets who are most guilty of this are the least watched", and the worst of them won't even show the entire Task Force" briefing on TV, for fear Americans might see what Trump is ACTUALLY doing and they can't stand it and their ratings are dropping like an anchor.
I watched the video of her words to MSNBC .... I also watch the Daily White House Press Conferences every single day. I heard the President make his announcement last week about Easter -- he did not say "pack the churches" (which is what this PBS propagandist said) - he said "I hope" we can lift the restrictions by Easter .... he also said that decision would be made based on the advice of the Scientists and the entire Task Force.
Her "question" was a LIE ...... everything stems for her initial LIE. The MSNBC and Leftist Media are all on the "Same Team" and they certainly have "each other's back". They are paying for it by receiving poor ratings and polling shows a lack of trust. IF we can't trust them to REPORT NEWS, and we can't -- they need to get into another business. Perhaps late night comedy or even satire -- they are a JOKE.
There are a LOT of people in the USA that are totally FED-UP with this War against the President of the United States and those who elected him. Those same people are totally FED-UP with the Public Broadcasting Stations (PBS - the propagandist's employer) and want to see it defunded.
It's way past time to do that --
"The MSNBC and Leftist Media are all on the "Same Team""
I've noticed over the years every time, say the NY Times, prints a story and uses a negative phrase or word/s negative toward Trump (and all previous R presidents", or other repubs, EVERY other LSM outlet use the negative word/s SAME phrase or word.
All Trump has to do is answer the damned questions.
There is no point in having Trump get up there everyday just to lie to us all, or avoid the questions. He is a public servant, and the people of the USA deserve honest answers, so he needs to cut the BS.
"All Trump has to do is answer the damned questions." He answers ALL the questions. The problem is most of the LSM so-called "reporters" is, they DON"T UNDERSTAND the answer, so they rephrase and ask the SAME questions over and over!
