Has anyone else noticed that since his win in general the news headlines, coverage and articles about President-elect Trump have been very coarse?
It seems like the press does not want to write about him at all but are bound to.
The press is not giving a very celebratory feeling of the next POTUS.
I truly believe this is 100% opposite coverage from Obamas win and if Hillary would've won.

Yes, it all makes perfect sense... Everyone is aware of how totally fucked up this is, including journalists. Anyone who expects Trump to get the same treatment as past presidents is living in a fantasy world.

Is there not a scripted chain of events that happen when a POTUS is elected? (Americans help out here)
Like parades or news interviews or just plain celebrations all covered by the press like past presidents.
It perhaps indicates that President-elect Trump was right about some media. They can be led.

Parades and celebrations?? No. Not until inauguration day. When did you ever see that done in the past when a US election was over?
News interviews yes, and those are happening, although now it appears that Trump is literally running from the media. He is apparently getting all tricksie in order to avoid being caught on camera, lol. So he's acting like a celebrity instead of like a president elect, which also makes sense, since I think he can only conceive of any of this in that kind of celebrity context. The weight of his responsibilities are not at all sinking in. It's pathetic.

Ok maybe not parades and celebrations full out but I remember being inundated with the pre-inauguration days of Obama. It was non-stop celebration time in the media.
I don't think he is running from the media rather than I think the media is chasing him.

Trump dodging the press was him making a statement. Unfortunately it reflects what he thinks about an important check and balance in the system and that he doesn't want those checks and balances. The president lets the press know where they are at all times. This is essential to being in a democracy. Please no one buy into his ongoing attempts to demonize the press. It's step one for an authoritarian. The CNN people last night were visibly irritated with this when they reported on it.

They were visibly irritated all night long during the election and they knew where he was the whole time.

Yes! The press must be allowed to watch the president-elect eat dinner!

Yuk it up all you want. He needs to be available to the pool of press that follow him around all the time, not lie to them and dodge them. We need to know what's happening, and he also needs to have some level of accountability. Do you get that he works for us now? Stop minimizing these things. This action, combined with his past statements about the media and the press is another red flag.

He doesn't "need" to do anything. Obama and Hillary barely made themselves available to the press and nobody seemed to care. Trump was the most available candidate from the minute he started running and while it would be nice for him to continue that availability he actually doesn't owe anybody anything. This election is over and the voter can decide in 2020 whether his availability or lack thereof is or is not acceptable. For people to huff and puff though about not having access to a man who wanted to have dinner with his family is the peak of sillyness. The media has an actual President to still follow around...there will be plenty of time to follow the next one.

Talk about class Obama has to advice the Bafoon even more than he thought he'd have to , Bafoon trashed Obama for 8 yrs but Obama still acts with class ! Bafoon transition team is a total circus

Obama bashed Bush for 8 years and then Bush still acted with class. Pretty standard fare.

Wasn't Obama a one term senator? What was he doing from 2000-2004 and how did bash bush during that time?

The dude was the our country's first black president. Why wouldn't you expect there to be an abundance of press. Do you really find that odd?

His public opposition to the Iraq war began in 2002. This was the first step to his senate campaign about a year later. We can use "6 years" if you would like to be more accurate.

Why would the press care about colour?

Time to get money out of politics for realz. Hopefully "insert democratic representative name here" doesn't get busted in the process.
