I am a registered democrat, and never in my wildest dreams would I have trusted the Obama administration to be my news source. That isn't an administration's job.
I cannot believe that I even have to write this.

For a member of Congress to say something like that is absolutely appalling.
And, mark my words, some Trumper will weigh in to say it was a good idea,,,,,,

Yea, get your news from the government.

Washington (CNN)The chairman of the House Science, Space and Technology Committee is asking Americans to trust the information they get from the President over the news produced by the media.

Republican Rep. Lamar Smith saluted President Donald Trump from the floor of the House on Tuesday evening, rattling off his first-week accomplishments but saying Trump is not getting the press coverage he deserves.

"The national liberal media won't print that, or air it or post it," Smith said. "Better to get your news directly from the President. In fact, it might be the only way to get the unvarnished truth."

Another example of the trend that has gone on far too long of the congress acting like less of a separate branch of the government and more like a arm of the executive branch.

If anything drives us to a dictatorship, it will be this. 

Oh, he's getting the press coverage he deserves--the media is doing a stellar job reporting on Trump's lies, the falsehoods, the conspiracies theories and all the dumb things he says and is telling us what he wants to do.  Only problem there is Trump in particular is unable to distinguish between the truth and the lies and now it appears he's not alone in the administration.
