Doesn't matter. People will still think there is a massive cover up and just handing out written responses will just increase that paranoia.

Is that not what he's already doing on Twitter?

Isn't that what Obama did?

If the news media was fair, that would make us better. It's kind of a joke if you turn CNN the past couple of days.

IMO, Trump doesn't give the polished responses that the press is expecting. Many in the public eye seem to play a role much like an actor when in front of an audience, I don't think this is the way that Trump operates and thus the press is trying to read between the lines and takes things out of context to enhance their sales and fuel the haters.

Just don't invite the Liberal/Progressive/Fake news outlets. Yank their credentials.

If by "great nation" you mean dictatorship. Although, since Spicey (and Trump) just lie about everything anyway, we are probably already there.

Definitely no! It is the fourth estate. I am tired about hearing the so called "fake news" which does not exist except in the Onion and such. Anytime someone disagrees with him, it is fake news. The problem is some constituents believe it is "fake" as well. The problem then is the actual real news is dismissed.
