Time to end the legacy media’s legacy

Time to end the legacy media’s legacy: A few days ago, Donald Trump Jr. said that his father is considering banning some mainstream media outlets from White House press briefings and replacing them with more independent outlets.  After all their lying, deception, and dirty tricks, boy, does that feel good!  Maybe American Thinker staffers will get a place at the briefings.

It is time to go much further.  Donald Trump as president should declare that these legacy media are banned indefinitely from press briefings and interviews until they come clean on behavior unbefitting their stature.  To this end, he will state publicly the top egregious violation (or should it be the top 5 or 10 or 20) committed by each one that any reasonable person would consider unacceptable, and demand a heartfelt apology to appear repeatedly, whether above its front-page fold, atop its internet site, or on-air during prime time; no stealth edits, weekend dumps, or corrections appended to years-old articles no one sees.  The wording must be satisfactory to the aggrieved for the apology to be accepted.
