To say the least.
He has repeatedly stated how bad the press is.
He is not joking. This is why he is bringing in popular bloggers and the like.
he won a rigged 2 horse race in a landslide
You are correct about the media. Sharyl Attkisson, a former CBS reporter who was harassed when pursuing stories on the government, said it well.
"There is unprecedented, I believe, influence on the media, not just the news, but the images you see everywhere. By well-orchestrated and financed campaign of special interests, political interests and corporations. I think all of that comes into play."
At present, only 6% of Americans trust our media, and for good reason. They(over 90% of media) are owned by five global corporations, which are controlled by the wealthiest 0.01%, who invest not only in media as a tool for influencing public opinion -- but also invest heavily in both the Democratic and Republican parties' major players, as a means of managing outcomes to profit themselves.

That's extraordinary. What a sense of distrust.
It's hard to believe.
This is why I fully support Trump using twitter and Utube for 'Presidential comments.'
It is 100% efficient and 'unadulterated'.
Aust has quite given up on our politicians I believe.
We have been 'poorly managed' for well over a decade.
