(16,448 posts)Would you prefer they all decamp and go cover city council meetings in Bumblefuck, Arkansas or somewhere else? Leave Trump to Breitbart or other fawning media outlets?

(63,221 posts)Maybe they don't want anybody to see him clobber Abe over the head when Abe kicks his ass on the golf course.

(2,830 posts)This is probably a combination of a lame attempt to keep pics of his golfing out of the public eye and his ego getting shredded by this:

I think we can safely bet that this was Trump's idea. He wants to humiliate the press, see how far he can go in treating them with contempt.

Text of that pool report:
Photographers were instructed not to take pictures on the grounds of a "private club."

(19,567 posts)Not to mention Trump is making money off this meeting, and selling access to heavy hitters.
This is wrong on so many levels I can't even count them all.

Thank you for this info, hpd

(10,252 posts)Would make a great protest action. When will the MSMedia say enough to Traitor Trump's insults? Where is Dan Rather, when we need him? (That's a rhetorical question.)
democrank
(11,103 posts)Most of them will do anything for access, even allow themselves to be humiliated and mistreated. It's downright ridiculous.

(86,775 posts)yet they still have to make the show and get makeup and props and casting right. I'm so glad they are so good at it.

(38,326 posts)The modern press is gutless because the jobs are so hard to get.
Covering Trump is their "reward" for being complaint.

mcar
(42,372 posts)and when she did it was short so the MSM (hello, Chris Cilizza) kvetched that it didn't count as a "real" press conference.
They should all be very happy now.

(12,400 posts)Get off your asses, get out of that room where you await a photo op or some idiotic lie out of his mouth, and go expose some REAL news, because there is a LOT of it happening right now under your noses!!!

Cha
(297,629 posts)wonder Abe thinks of that?
KewlKat
(5,624 posts)NOT right and why stick around when they are told they can't do their jobs.
Rip off the plastic or go home. They should stop covering the Con period.
