We need the media to ask him the hard questions , put his feet to the fire , keep him on his toes , not let him skulk around in the dark getting away with shady things . We need to see him sweat when the hard questions are asked . We need to see where he evades the truth , where he hems and haws , how he spins his little lies . This is how we can continually evaluate him . If we don ' t have the media to do it for us , who is going to do it ? You ? Do you really think he ' s going to answer your questions ? Would you have been happy with Clinton saying , Nope , no press , I ' ll tell you what I think you should know when I think you should know it ? Were you happy with Obama ' s secrecy ? If you were , then Trump is the president you deserve .
