Where did playing by the norms of the media get Bush (after Iraq), McCain and Romney? Now don't you think Trump who is following the same strategy that won him the GOP primary and POTUS is perhaps on to something in bypassing the media and essentially making the Washington Press Corps (some openly hostile and part of the #resistance) look silly? Whould he have gotten better than 93% negative coverage from CNN? What is a win here, 75% or 60% negative coverage? 

It sure isn't "presidential" by traditional standards, but where has that ever gotten the GOP and conservatives. I think that is part of the appeal and strategy. He even said so in tweets about "modern presidential".

I doubt the average American are nearly as outraged as the media. After all they are trusted even less according to polls...

Trump largely continues to be effective in showing the media for what they are biased, out of touch, self-righteous and increasingly about them and their opinions - not news or reporting.
