It's not gone, but it may be going away. And the problem is, is that in this environment, everybody is suspicious of everybody else's motives. And you can't just be a cantankerous son of a bitch reporter who likes to ask tough questions. And I think that it's okay to have people like that. We need that in American society. I grew up with Ted Koppel on Nightline.

And like I said, Sam Donaldson shouting questions at Reagan at the White House. And I always thought that was... That was a good thing. And these days they want to run you out of town on a rail if you're doing that sort of thing. But Tim, honestly, all of this, you know, give Obama some credit. He answered the question. He took the question without blowing his top and taking away my press pass.

One of the problems that we're in right now is that Donald Trump cannot just take the hard questions. He cannot handle the heat. And he wants to act like a dictator. And that is just a different kind of experience than we've ever had before with the president.

Ronald Reagan wasn't throwing Sam Donaldson out of the White House because he was yelling questions to Reagan as he was getting on Marine One. Some of this flows from the guy at the top. And if he just can't handle the hard questions, you've just got to wonder, can he handle the job of being president of the United States? And I think he just proves over and over again he cannot.

Yes, he's the luckiest son of a gun out there. There's no question about it. That debate can be put to the side. I think it's also not up for debate that he just cannot handle scrutiny. He's never been able to handle it. And it's always going to be a problem for him. And that means it's going to be a problem for us.

And I think we have to be careful of giving them what they want when they're going after the press. And that's why I have said if this continues, they continue to abuse the press and throw them out and that sort of thing. There has to be some sort of collective action on the part of the press. You know, if they really care about having those TV networks.
