Trump doesn’t have to go to war with the press corps. All he has to do is make it irrelevant.
The White House press corps is an outmoded institution.There’s no need to crowd a small number of media elites into a limited space. Or any space at all. We live in a world of instantaneous communications. Every smartphone is capable of doing more than the laptops that reporters were laboring over in the Clinton years. Any of the men and women in that room can email or text their questions. The briefings serve no useful function except as political theater by a privileged class. President Trump has vowed to drain the swamp. A good place to start is the smarmy swamp of privilege over the White House indoor pool. The small club of the press corps is the embodiment of the old establishment and its corrupt gatekeepers that he has vowed to get rid of. Instead of sparring with them in briefings, it’s time to eliminate their special status and strip them of their privileges. Sultan Knish: End the Media

Your Say
"The White House press corps is an outmoded institution."
============================
True, as it is.
The entire MSM is now irrelevant, to be ignored.
