The Trump butt kissing continues.
Yeah, because starting a fight with NoKo stating he has a bigger nuke button on his desk is totally productable and in no way dangerous for the world. And that's just a few tweets of his many insane tweets. Takes a big man to make threats of nuclear war over the internet....
There are even some Trump supporters who wish he would stop tweeting because he looks so bad doing it and it embarrasses them.
When are you Trump supporters EVER gonna hold this man accountable for anything? Always defending every insane thing he does and guess what, that only encourages him. You people are the problem now.

Try again...I guess you are not listening...
While his average may be high, other data points weren't so flattering. For example, at this point in his first term, Obama had given about 19 news conferences. Trump has done roughly a dozen, depending on what you count as a press conference—and only one of those was a solo venture.
As Trump has gradually shirked media appearance while waging war with the press via Twitter, he's sent Spicer and spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders to the front lines to battle with reporters. Even the quantity of those briefings has begun to decline—whereas Spicer gave 11 briefings in February, he gave only five in June. The duo has also begun to put into place controversial rules that limit reporters from recording the briefings live, frustrating media outlets and lawmakers alike.

Obama engaged the media and the public and did not take to twitter multiple times a day to complain about criticism.
which has been described as Nixonian.
By whom, the little people in you head?
The administration’s war on leaks and other efforts to control information are the most aggressive I’ve seen since the Nixon administration, when I was one of the editors involved in The Washington Post’s investigation of Watergate. The 30 experienced Washington journalists at a variety of news organizations whom I interviewed for this report could not remember any precedent.

You’re wrong.
Comparisons abound between U.S. President Donald Trump and President Barack Obama, and as of this month, 45 is beating 44 in at least one statistic: the average number of news conferences.
"We have done multiple more opportunities for people to interact with the president, according to several folks that have been here for several administrations," Press Secretary Sean Spicer told reporters last month, according to NBC News. "We’ve looked at a lot of data that suggests when you look at the number of availabilities and interviews that the president has given, it’s pretty significant compared to past administrations."

Obama kept a tight ship on leakers, according to your source.
Something I would think people would respect.
Why do all pro trump threads sound the same, hahahah liberals suck,

The administration also spied on the press. The point is, this administration pails in comparison to the previous in both accountability and transparency.

Do you have a source that compares both factors with previous administrations compared to the Trump administration?
Accountability and transparency go well beyond the media's access alone.

It doesn't matter what tweets the press covers. I like to get my info from news conferences were the president is asked questions and he is forced to engage in back and forth on his current dealings.
When did it become acceptable that the US president engaged the US public and the media like a teenage girl with a social media addiction?
There is no back and forth on twitter. He does not have to face the public on twitter. Yet if only the media were less negative, people would be better informed?
That is absurd!
Welcme to the 21st century. His tweets are unfiltered and can be accessed all over the world. It is about time that leaders of the free world utilize this new way of communication like Trump is doing. The MSM is just mad that they don't get exclusives anymore.

Given the negativity of coverage of this administration, I think it is obvious there is no climate of fear when it comes to reporting on the president.

Ok. Thank you for your opinion, but I asked for a source with a qualifying record of accountability and transparency of the Obama admin in relation to other admins.
Also, I believe that Obama's JD did "spy" on the media and it resulted in the conviction of many people within the government who had leaked classified info to the press.
Something that has been called-for many times by Trump supporters.
