<p><a type="internal">President Trump</a> is more accessible to the media than his predecessor, a <a type="internal">New York Times</a> reporter admitted.</p>

<p>Compared to former President Obama, Trump is better at giving news conferences and reaching out to individual reporters, the Times Glenn Thrush said.</p> 
<p>I do want to give Trump credit on things, Thrush <a href="http://the1a.org/shows/2017-04-24/a-front-row-seat-to-spin" type="external">stated</a> during a media panel discussion on Monday. I think one of the things that I think hes doing better than <a type="internal">Barack Obama</a> are these press conferences and his outreach to individual reporters, even for organizations, like my own, that he criticizes.</p> 
<p>When Obama had press conferences, he had a single piece of white paper and he had six or seven organizations that he had preselected to call upon, and a lot of them were pretty favorable to him, too.</p> 
<p>Thrust added that Trump was more democratic in comparison by taking questions from a variety of reporters without pre-selecting them, including those from outlets who routinely attack him.</p> 
<p>As <a href="https://www.infowars.com/secret-service-forces-press-off-street-while-allowing-pro-amnesty-activists-to-stay/" type="external">I reported in 2014</a>, journalists routinely criticized the Obama administration for what they characterized as the worst press access theyve experiences in decades.</p> 
<p>Once we lose access, well never get it back, the Associated Presss chief <a type="internal">White House</a> photographer, Charles Dharapak, warned colleagues during a <a href="http://www.poynter.org/latest-news/mediawire/243894/aps-white-house-staff-press-losing-presidential-access-as-obama-officials-close-doors/" type="external">2014 Newspaper Association of America conference</a>.</p> 
<p>And the Poynter Institutes Kenny Irby said Obamas chief photographer Pete Souza was <a href="http://www.poynter.org/how-tos/videos-with-visionaries-who-visit-poynter/233137/poyntervision-white-house-photo-practices-break-promise-of-open-government/" type="external">more of a propagandist than a real photojournalist</a> because his job was to make Obama look good, make the president look presidential.</p> 
<p>And Souza enjoyed access to the president mainstream photojournalists didnt have until Trump took office.</p> 
<p>To sum it up, <a type="internal">the mainstream media</a> is like a beaten lover who keeps coming back to an abusive relationship: they fawn over Obama despite his war against press freedom while simultaneously attacking Trump despite his clear generosity to the press.</p>
