The romance between the press and Mr. Obama is one thing that has been lost in the transition to Mr. Trump. The mainstream press displays a sense of entitlement to its prominent position at the White House, and that’s about to be challenged. That they are not happy about it is an understatement.

So, as much as a significant part of the press despises Trump, that does not mean they want their access cut off.
