Donald Trump The Observer Media Madness: book shows Trump White House obsessed with press Volume by Fox News anchor, seen by Guardian, portrays president who values loyalty above everything except media attention Donald Trump holds up Swiss newspaper Blick as he arrives at the Congress Centre in Davos on Friday. The president, Kurtz writes, begins his day with four newspapers: the Times, New York Post, Wall Street Journal and Washington Post. He watches the daily White House press briefing and uses the TiVo personal video recorder to catch up on cable shows he has missed. On Saturday, Bardella, formerly a spokesman for the conservative Breitbart News and now a columnist forHuffPost and USA Today, suggested Kurtz’s account of the Trump White House was persuasive. Media Madness comes on the heels of fellow media commentator Michael Wolff’s bombshell Fire and Fury, which shook the White House and has sold more than 1.7m copies.
