abby: yeah, hit or react daniel halper was the first reporter press secretary spicer called on this weekrelationship that has gone on between president trump and the media. you've been right in the thick of things. >> well, look, it's a very tense relationship at certain times and obviously the trump administration, especially as president trump himself abused media as the opposition party and of course the media does have a role of being i think tough on the trump administration and obviously if you look at that white house briefing room, probably it's the case that most people there voted for hillary clinton and did not support donald trump. but nonetheless, it's a very tense relationship, and i think -- but i think it's -- there's some progress, and i think there's some good things to come about from it as well. >> dan, what do you think the role of the media should be? and does it line up with what the trump administration think so the role of the media should be? >> i think the trump administration sees the role as explaining what they're doing and explaining their policies, and i t
