But whoever's in the role, we really need a toothier press corps. One that realizes *they*, not Trump, are the tiger in the room.

Every time the Press Secretary, whoever that is, says "I can't speak for the president", the room should shout: "THEN WHY ARE YOU HERE?"

Will that get you ejected, barred from the room? Well, if the room doesn't contain anyone who speaks for the president, why's that matter?

Other countries have people they send here with the specific job of making nice with our government. We call them "diplomats".

I understand journalists need to cultivate relationships of mutual respect for information. But the Press Secretary has none to give you.

"I can't speak for the president, but..." *next question* "Can we speak with someone who can?"

If your outlet sent you to the White House to make nice, then you're not real news.

And if you're not there to make nice, there's no reason to sit there and take it when the White House negs the fourth estate.

If we have a free press three-four years from now, the people who get thrown out of the White House press corps' now are going to be heroes.

We have a free press. It's called the internet. Mainstream media was co-opted by commies long ago.
