Conway: 'We're going to have to rethink our relationship' with press
By Kyle Balluck - 01/22/17 09:42 AM EST

A top aide to President Trump said on Sunday that the new administration is going to “rethink” its relationship with the press.

"We're going to have to rethink our relationship here," Kellyanne Conway said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” after host Chuck Todd asked about press secretary Sean Spicer’s criticism of the press one day earlier.

Spicer in his first official appearance in the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room denounced news organizations’ focus on the inaugural crowd size as “shameful and wrong.”

I thought Kellyanne was great, but I'm concerned the Trump Administration will spend too much time and effort on fighting the media, vs. keeping an eye on the bad players around the world.

In other words, the Trump administration is demanding that they control the topic of press articles involving their administration... or else.

Since the "press" will be distorting everything he  says does, both at home and abroad, then it's probably reasonable to start with them and then move on to the other bad players around the world.

That might be it, or it might be the Trump people just want to media to stop lying about their every move?

Then they would have said that. Then stated the truth and provided evidence to prove it.

They have said that.  Patience on the other part, they have to get it past the media filters.  Showing the true crowd sizes of the Inauguration is a good start.  NBC and others definitely lied in their depictions of the crowds on the mall at noon Friday.  I have scads of pictures on Facebook posted by NBC affiliates that are contradicted by the shots I saw on CSPAN during the swearing in ceremony.

I do not think there is any longer a need to 'prove' the the mainstream media colors the news against republicans.

No, there hasn't been a need to prove it to Republicans for many years, but there are still millions of LIVs out there who still think Brian Williams and Dan Rather were straight-shooters, just like Walter Cronkite.

WE should do with the truth what the left has been doing all these years with their falsehoods - just proceed under the context that that everybody agrees that the media lies and then bury them in derision.

The road to tyranny is always paved with good intentions.

The fruits of Trump during and after the campaign has been to go after anyone who detracts or disses him…. relentlessly.

Not a good portent in terms of having a free press hold to account our public officials.

Not that the MSM is a 'free press' mind you.

But we do live in an age where Precedent is more lawful than the Constitution.

I rethought my relationship with the Press a long time ago.  Nice to see they are catching up.

The press isn't entitled to squat except their rights under the Constitution.  No where does it say the President has to answer their questions or can't criticize them when he feels like it.

The "Press" can stick it.

Unfortunately we all know that Donald Trump is himself a compulsive liar (Rafael Cruz and JFK) and the goofy women's march was clearly larger (Not to mention huge crowds in multiple other cities)

The pro Trump media has already established their own history of lying.





Bikers for Trump are another handful of lying propagandists.

That's right. And every administration has sought to control its relationship with the press.

Yeah, I can agree with that.  I like derision.

The Orange One even brought it up while touring the 'inefficient, incompetent' CIA he hated on during the campaign. It was obviously a big deal to him.

This is a theory I have, tell me what you think:  There is not one thing Trump could ever do that you would approve of, regardless of what it is. If he says nothing about the media bias, he'd be chumming it up with them.  If he says something about it, they you'd say he's whining.

Just a theory.
