**On the roster: More pointless press handwringing on Trump - Trump’s first international move: Goading China - The list for the country’s top diplomat continues to grow - Audible: Hope is the thing with feathers - Hey, you can’t say Kanye doesn’t need helpMORE POINTLESS PRESS HANDWRINGING ON TRUMPIt’s bad to be hated. It wasn’t the profession’s failures in covering Donald Trump’s election but rather that the profession doesn’t matter nearly as much as its members believed. Despite the deep enmity between Trump and the press, they agreed throughout the campaign at least on the importance of the media. As much as reporters didn’t like being called “disgusting” or “liars,” Trump was, if anything, exaggerating the influence of the media establishment. Part of the media hand-wringing over Trump’s win and how to cover him now is rooted in a bid to claim relevance.
