4. They're dreadful.

I only see the news if there's some special event. The press corps is a chorus and Trump is the director and he tells them what to sing and at what pitch. I used to love watching the old political shows like David Brinkley and the McLaughlin Report. It was entertaining, at least. The White House reporters are useless. Nobody has any respect for them, least of all Trump. They ought to be grilling him and that awful press secretary. Of course they're afraid for their lives. Go against Trump and his minions will start threatening you and then you have to hire security, which isn't something most people can afford. It's a mess.
