IMO, it's really hard to defend that. I wouldn't be comfortable with Obama taking questions from only liberal news outlets. Does this bother anyone else?

Trump continues trend of calling on conservative media

Obama almost ALWAYS took questions from other leftists. All democrats do that. I like that Trump has enough guts to speak to friendly news organizations. It'll help get his message reported accurately, just like Twitter does for him. His "outrageous" tweets never seem to harm him in the least, even as leftists have increasingly bigger conniptions each time he makes one.

By the way, it is widely known that Hillary Clinton was constantly notified in advance of any questions so that she could focus group test her practiced responses.

How does taking only friendly questions require guts? It's the exact opposite.

If he were a strong, confident man he wouldn't be afraid of tough questions.

Solely?

Trump presser takes questions exclusively from conservative media | TheHill

Don't you care about getting answers to tough questions? Don't you expect more than the use of kid gloves with regard to your president?

Where were these complaints when democrats were and still do get petted and kissed with soft questions from allied, sympathetic "news" outlets? Trump taking questions from conservative news outlets IS gutsy because all other republicans were always terrified of the reaction of democrat/news media reactions.

The Leftist MSM doesn't ask Trump "tough questions". Instead the badger and goad him.

And most of their questions have an embedded assertion about what they think the answer should be.

I wouldn't call on these ingrates either.
