(10,885 posts)and this would play directly into his hands. I can hear it now: "If the Press isn't going to show up, we'll just shut them down permanently." That would leave tRump and his sleazy administration to do their dirty work without having to broadcast or answer to any of it. It would be very counter-productive. No pressers means no reporters needed. They'd be signing their own pink slips to obscurity.
They need to show up, push back, and show tRump for the ass he is. I like that they've been showing some forcefulness lately. The Press has been too silent and accepting of poor treatment for far too long. If tRump then shuts them down for aggressiveness, then there will be reason for the public to show its disdain and push back themselves.
The Press needs to stay up close and personal in tRump's face to let him know that his way is NOT the way government is run!
