President-Elect Donald Trump made it clear throughout his campaign that he\\u2019s no lover of the press \\u2013 he banned the Washington Post from attending rallies, threatened to expand libel laws, and has even ditched the media pool. One of his recurring rallying cries called journalists the most dishonest people he\\u2019s ever encountered. Some are wondering how \\u2013 and whether \\u2013 he\\u2019s going to co-operate with the White House Press Corps as President.
"No president since Nixon has been so open in their contempt and hatred for the news media," says former investigative correspondent Mark Feldstein, author of Poisoning the Press. This week Jon Sopel talks to Feldstein about the last president who was open about his loathing for the media \\u2013 President Richard Nixon.
