Corey is a very bright guy.
I think Trump really had the right guy at the right time. And then the next right guy. And then the right girl. And a lot of other talent. Trump simply has an eye for talent, AND he knows when to use it, and when to move to the next talent.

It’s true leadership. The people that have been replaced know that their value is still there but the challenge has changed and that challenge is best handled by someone else. Smart people understand that you can’t know everything and it’s ok to specialize. Great leaders understand and underscore this with their people. President Trump is one of those leaders.

💯%!!! Putting people in a position to fail does a disservice to them AND to his leadership. What’s been instructive is how he does NOT throw people away. He respects his people and seems to help them (i.e. Lewandowski) and will bring them back when needed. To me its a sign of caring for people first. Imagine if all bosses cared enough.

Corey handled that very well. Liberal media indeed. The MSM are going to have to wake up if they want to get anywhere with President Trump. They can’t have it both ways, they cannot expect to constantly abuse him and at the same time have his trust.
Corey was right, where’s the accountability? The media need to be held responsible for their words and their message.

The problem is that the “media” is now owned by entities that don’t care if they make money or not. For instance the Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos who uses it not to tell us the news, but to push the propaganda that furthers their own business interests. So, it really doesn’t matter if the newspaper makes money.

The media has been “owned” for many decades.
Just remember Walter Cronkite, lionized by the PC crowd as one of America’s finest journalists.
Think about that word: journalist! What does it mean? Reporter.
But no; Mr. Cronkite spewed his spleen to denigrate America and use his platform to weaken our Republic. Not content to report the news, he chose to disguise his anti-American commentary within his supposed truthful reporting of events.
Too late did any of us realize he was working for the other team.

Who do you see the constant ads from? Insurance companies. Progressive commercials are inescapable. The company owner is an uber SJW from Cleveland. Geico’s a Buffet
Company, one of the biggest cronyists going. Who controls the advertising also controls the content ( remember all the old movies/ TV shows about “What will our sponsors do?”.) Think that content isn’t dictated by sponsors, especially ones that purchase every available bit of ad space they can get their hands on.

Trump is setting things up with this first Spicer briefing. He is gathering intel, feedback, and seeing how far the media (fifth column), which should be acting as the 4th branch, will go. He is laying the new foundation for the next 4 years. Solid foundation. Yeah buddy!!!

Totally agree. I’ve thought that without the media and the left catching on, President Trump is essentially litmus testing all opponents and opposition groups by evaluating their reactions to what they perceive as outrageous, but we deplorables, the President and the majority of Americans do not. By these means, the President is forcing the media, Unipartiers, and leftists to unwittingly drop their pretense and show how ugly and anti-American they truly are.

Uh, there is no “fourth branch.”
There are three: judicial, legislative, administrative.
As far as branches go, we citizens are the trunk of the tree.
The press, once upon a time, were merely the running insects, messenger-boys to the people: now they tell lies, and attempt to tell the tree-trunk what to do about the branches.
To manintain the analogy, some of these insects have stopped helping the tree of liberty and have slipped under the bark to feed off the branches. Others of these insects feed off the green.
Time to prune some excess sickly branches to rid the tree of disease.
Time for an insect exterminator.
And some preventive measures against future infestations.
How did the insect-like messenger-press get the name “Fourth Estate?” They awarded it to themselves, a lie, of course. Nothing sours honor so fast as overweaning pride and greed.
They are no longer needed.

Given the fact that much legislation is actually carried out by administrative agencies under their bogus rule-making authority, KBR’s error in fact had more than a wee bit of accuracy.
It has to change–the Constitution simply does not contemplate such massive delegation of legislative authority to unelected bureaucrats in executive branch agencies.

This is a point that has infuriated me for many years. Lazy Congress fecklessly delegates away its power, then hypocritically cries about over-regulation. They could stop it–they created the mechanism by which it is done–but they never do. This should tell us all we need to know about what they really want.

A good relation with the majority of the media is not, nor will not be a reality. The media is, as Corey said, extremely liberal in ideology and that is what they want to make the “news” about. Them or their ideology. Perhaps by keeping the media focused on things such as the bust and crowd size they will be unable to do any damage while Trump goes forth with his ant-swamp scorched earth campaign.

That’s a valid strategy as long as President Trump’s message goes out unadulterated in other platforms.
That said, the viewership of these far left rags’ supposed journalism — Chris Wallace, Chuck Todd, et al — are brain dead to begin with. They are the kool-ade drinkers.
The Kool-ade drinkers, blind as they are, deserve what they get: A protracted walking in the darkness of their own blindness — angst, misery, hatred, and despair.
These people, and especially the talking heads, have much to lament and to answer for; but blind people cannot see. Pity them.

WHEN the media gets it, finally, that this President is not going to put up with a lying media – when they GET it, that there will be consequences to their actions – then and only then will they change.
From years of dealing with politicians, they don’t believe he could be a man of conviction, that his words mean something, so they will keep at it but they will pay a price.
Good job Lewandowski.

Trump is the new Media Whisperer and he’ll put the media at heel. Either that, or he’ll shoot the dog and move on.
