CNN complains about not getting to ask a question.  Know what Obama did to Fox news ?  In his first 36 press conferences,  all structured,  he refused Fox  in 22 of those pressers.  No a single question. 

So,  drop dead when it comes to "fair play."  No such thing in Democrat/Progressive circles.  No such thing.

  1. Trump wants to move the press out of the White House... the press corps have had a room and office in the White House for 118 years. This is what an authoritarian despot does, demonize the press and promote 'his own' biased press (propaganda).

    Trumps 1st press conference was a self serving carefully staged propaganda event with most of the people there his staff and supporters. He lied continuously and even staged a table full of props - blank folders that he boasted, "These papers are all just a piece of the many many companies that are being put into trust to be run by my two sons!” He wouldn't let the reporters open the folders which appeared to be all unlabeled and blank. He went on to spout lies and failed to answer repeated questions on whether his campaign was in contact with the Russians... but he did find time to boast about a $2 Billion dollar deal with some mideast sheik he was turning down, and that he thinks - just because he won, people don't care to see his tax returns. Even Fox News defended CNN's reporting - now confirmed by both Comey and Clapper, and condemned Trump for his bullying of the CNN reporter. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/01/11/fact-check-donald-trump-press-conference/96449610/

    Now the Press has put Trump on notice:

    1. Obama gave his "state of the union" rant, a week ago. Know how many watched it? 28. Have any idea Trump has for followers on Twitter, Facebook and whatever? A little over 50 million. Know how many watched his speech on NBC? 8 MILLION. Have any idea how folks watches Dallas/GreenBay on one network (Fox sports)? 48 million.

      Obama took election politics into the modern age. Trump took politics into the "here and right this minute" age.

    2. No response to the Trump lies and fake props at his news conference or his move to disenfranchise the free press. He needs tools like you.

      BTW ... Obama' approval now 60%.
      http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/18/politics/obama-approval-rating-cnn-orc-poll/

      If he were a white republican, it would be 75%.

      And... you know what happens with ex-presidents approval? Usually goes up. And what happens with an incoming president elect approval? Always goes down. Trump will be in the 20s by the end of the year if not sooner.

    3. CNN and ABC included only 23% of conservatives in their polls. The actual participation number on November 8 was 46% Doubling the participation rate in these polls to 46% would give Trump a popularity percentage of 80%. Bend over and kill yourself good-bye.
