So wuddaya think . . . . will the media take the gloves off now that himself has declared . . . . .

. . . . . a hot war against them? His crew is hard at it finding dirt on medians that it will release if said medians report bad shit about himself.

It would be great if they just did their jobs and reported facts.

Ya think they will?

I'm thinking some will, but the likes of Kelly O'Donnell will continue carrying his water and thereby avoid the fight and avoid standing up for her fellow medians.

I expect reporters to continue to stand between the people and tyranny, even at great personal risk.

And Bezos taught us that the best defense against blackmail is to run straight at it with the truth and take whatever lumps ensue.

they might lose their "access"

I for one am sick and tired of hearing him yell at them over the rotors on the helipad, lying his fucking ass off and they just take it

It's really pathetic

I always wish I was one of those reporters who would yell back at him "Shut the Fuck up you lying liar, that was a lie!"

...journalists will continue doing their jobs.

And if they get threats, I hope they report on that. And that their editors and bosses back them up.

They're chickenshit.

Donald Trump could drone strike CNN and the first thing out of Chuck Todd's mouth would be, "But the Democrats..."
