Mainstream media whines as Trump calls on less established news outlets

The mainstream media isn’t liking the new set up at the White House: Lesser name news outlets are being called on during press briefings, rather than the old, established bellwethers.

During his press conference with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, President Donald Trump called on two news outlets: WJLA a local ABC news affiliate, and the Daily Caller. Both failed to ask him about the fate of his national security adviser Gen. Michael Flynn, who has been marred in a controversy that he spoke to Russian authorities before Mr. Trump took office.

And the mainstream media immediately pounced – saying Mr. Trump was picking favorites in order to avoid questioning on Mr. Flynn.

“By handpicking reporters, Trump manages to get through a news conference without being asked about Flynn,” New York Times reporter Peter Baker lamented on Twitter – failing to mention that all U.S. presidents handpick reporters.

What a bunch of whinning piles of excrement. they never had a problem when obama picked the commie reporters who always threw soft questions at him. They need to STFU

They asked for this treatment by their past "gotcha" questions, and Trump prefers sincere questions about positive paths forward. So go cry in a corner and get used to it. If he ever DOES call on you again, you had better have a decent question that reflects our curiosity in mind.

You asked for it; you got it. Toyota, Baby!
