Obviously a strategic move on the part of the White House administration.  This use of direct tweets, in conjunction with follow up performed by second-tier surrogates that lead a hostile MSM out into the weeds to flail around and expose their hostility in front of their market audience is brilliant.  The plan is obviously working.    It makes many of us in the populace  question "What do we need MSM for, anyway?"  ...And that's scaring the hell out of the entire Washington political journalism industry--Especially the WP.   Trump is no dummy-- so let's catch on early, and get used to his leadership.
