Who are these officials and former officials the story refers to? Were they in the room?

listen to me. when i take Pence over Trump you have a problem

Oh I would love to have Pence instead of Trump too. He's rational. Trump worries me. He is all over the map. But I sure as hell wouldn't give Hillary my vote. She's got way too much dirt under her nails. I saw Trump as the best chance to clean up DC. And get the economy going. Yeah it is a circus. My hope is that Mattis and Tillerson keep him in line.

Yes I know Pence is way too old school for some. But he has a track record as one to get things done. He has credibility, even if you disagree with policy. You know what you're getting.

the media is not in shambles...trump is in shambles...you dont like the message....the messenger is fine.........

I don't trust the messenger. They only care about an agenda. I don't care what they print.

When they rebuild trust, I will listen to what they have to say. I'm not alone. Many of them have seen their readership plummet. Congress has a better trust number than the media. That's pitiful...

the only way for them to build trust is to shut up and get out of trump's way...their agenda is their obligation.

No, to ask questions, to investigate. Not to oppose because they favor a liberal agenda. They are journalists, not cheerleaders.

They will earn trust through honest reporting. By asking questions, to seek the truth.

And you don't see a media bias?

My ex sister in law was so gullible that she thought NPR was always truthful because it was named National Public Radio...like they would never try to sway a listener...uh huh...

Fwiw I won't tune into Limbaugh, Hannity or Idiot Glenn Beck.

As the conservative David Brooks writes in his latest column When the World Is Led by a Child:

From all we know so far, Trump didn’t do it because he is a Russian agent, or for any malevolent intent. He did it because he is sloppy, because he lacks all impulse control, and above all because he is a 7-year-old boy desperate for the approval of those he admires.

That's really the best case scenario for Trump: he's not actively in cahoots with Putin, he's just very, very, very stupid.

Here's some fake news from NPR about readership/subscription rates at the Post, NYT, LA Times and Wall Street Journal going up. Trump's tweets say the exact opposite, of course. Who to believe?
