1. Trump should ignore CNN, considering how of theirs leaked Hilary audience questions ahead of the events during the campaign.

2. Drug testing for reporters sounds like a great idea.

This shouldnt be a surprise though. Donald Trump has demonstrated contempt for any press coverage he dislikes, openly attacking reporters in press conferences.

The destruction of our democracy marches on.

Because the press room only has 49 seats... over 400 reporters have requested access.

Who is Steve Bannon for 1000, Alex.

Steve Bannon is the reason Trump is not falling for the MSM(CNN) Fake News.

You guys need to do your research. Steve Bannon has has sources and access to the truth.

Why would anyone give the time of day to people trying to destroy them?
I wouldn't. I would destroy and kill them.

It's clear the MSM is an arm of the Democrat Party.

Why should a Republican president want them in the White House?

I said the same thing when Obama showed his contempt for the press. Its a disgusting show of power and shows a total lack of respect for our nation and its principles.

This should cause you great concern, not jubilation. The way to fix a problem is to work together, not ignore the issue at hand.

When anti-Obama people made posts like these - it was denoted as tin foil hat territory. Why is this any different?

Trump team considers moving press out of White House to accommodate possibly hundreds of reporters

“We had like 500 or 600 folks at the press conference last week, so we started thinking, ‘Man alive, if we can have more people involved than less people involved, that would be a good thing’ — that’s what this is about,” Priebus told ABC News.

...
“The interest of the team is to make sure that we accommodate the broadest number of people who are interested and media from around the country and around the world,” Pence said.

...
Priebus said: “I know that some of the folks in the press are uptight about this, and I understand.” He said the only thing that had been discussed was whether or not the initial press conferences would be held in the existing press room that he said was “very, very tiny.”

The current press room has about 49 seats.

“So no one is moving out of the White House,” Priebus said.

Trump played his part in that exchange as well. Both parties were wrong there.

He should be attempting to build a bridge between two essential pillars of democracy. He should be the bigger person, act like a president and try to find middle ground for the good of our country.
