Mary Margaret Olohan
Kaitlan's implication here is that the only good question is an adversarial question, and that only adversarial questions serve taxpayers. I could see how she reached that conclusion working for CNN, where her audience is virulently anti-Trump. But many other reporters view the Oval Office differently. Thanks to the White House and the @whca, we can now ask questions to POTUS that legacy media won't ask, and about the issues our audiences genuinely care about. Our job isn't to perform hostility. It's to get answers and information.

@kaitlancollins: The biggest change in the outlets that cover Trump is how the White House has filled the press pool with a lot of people who ask friendly questions. I don't like when people use those moments to ask a question that is not producing a response from someone in the highest office in the land, a taxpayer funded individual. There is not as much follow up inside those Oval Office moments as there used to be.
