We can't let his RW media lemmings and their propaganda be the only source of news and information for the next four years. Real media will engage him. The question, I think, is whether he'll allow them to engage him. Given the way he and the GOP have acted since 2016, he may basically only appear on friendly media. And if the worst happens and he somehow does something to the MSM (keeping his RW media the only source of information), we will have real proof of what he's going to do.
