Obama preferred liberal news organizations, and that was OK because he still answered questions he didn't like from the right.
Trump goes beyond preferences... he only wants favorable questions from organizations that will cover him favorably.
- makomk 10y agoIf he only accepted questions from organizations that cover him favourably, that'd exclude most of the media. From what I've seen so far he only seems to refuse questions from media that delve into conspiracy-theory tier reporting - Russian piss orgies, "secret communications with Russia" that somehow look in every way like junk email about Trump hotels from an outsourced service he doesn't even control, that kind of thing. (Which is probably still a little ironic given his role in birtherism.)
- jlarocco 10y agoObama spent 2122 days as president. Trump has been president for less than 3 full days so far. It may turn out that you're correct, but there's not enough data to make a meaningful comparison yet.
