ADVANCE FOR USE SUNDAY, MARCH 12, 2017 AND THEREAFTER-FILE - In this March 4, 1969 file photo, President Richard Nixon holds a televised news conference in the East Room of the White House in Washington, outlining his recent five-nation visit to Europe.

We've had presidents who were embittered and hated some of the press _ Richard Nixon comes to mind. Teddy Roosevelt had a reporter jailed for purportedly lying about the Panama Canal. But I can't think of a situation where you have this rat-a-tat attack on the press on virtually a daily basis, for the evident purpose of discrediting it." (AP Photo)
