If there really is a disgust for his treatment of the press. I think the press could start by ignoring his twitter feed and "alternative fact" stories. His strategy is to make us distrust our information sources and the "media" is playing into it directly. It would be best for all involved if the press began reporting on facts and not comparing them to the rubbish he and his administration says. Especially when they are about things that are seemingly important to only Trump (inauguration turnout, who's a loser, etc.). At this point I would go as far as to say that any coverage of press conferences would be best to just provide direct full quotation with hyperlinks to other direct quotations or measurable facts from trustable sources that are contradictory. The only way to fight back is to take the higher ground. If he treats the press the way he does now, the best strategy is for the press core to END the press conference by ceasing questions and leaving. If all he's going to do is avoid, insult and lie then there's no news, he's been doing all of that since long before he ever thought of running for president.
