Funny how they were silent when Hillary wasn't giving press conferences during the campaign (especially since she was the front-runner the entire time).

They're not obligated to but will do so when it helps craft their narrative, though.

Can't wait to see the libs on here defend the "journalists" after their 8 year break of seeking the truth or holding any feet to the fire.

This should be good

I don't think you could sound more arrogant and self-righteous if you tried.

He should tell them that there will only be a once a week press brief at the white house. This daily stuff is stupid.

He should just tweet out the number of days HRC went without a press conference and call them out on their indifference.

Let me translate that statement: Ok, so we carried Obama's water for 8 years and were completely biased in our reporting, even lying when necessary. But, now that you have been elected we will actually do our jobs and question every decision we disagree with and will probably report anything that sheds a negative light on you.

So this is a farewell letter written to Obama, right?

His reply should be "you've peddled fake news or not reported anything at all for the past 8 years. If you want to start being real journalists again, good. I will hold you accountable as well via Twitter."
