  Today, how is Donald Trump trying to reshape the media?

• 00:33

  Last week, the president banned three media outlets from the White House,

• 00:37

  claiming he was sick of their coverage of him.

• 00:40

  In response, the entire press pool stopped transmitting footage of the president.

• 00:44

  That ban of CNN, MS NOW, and Politico has been temporarily lifted by a federal judge,

• 00:51

  but it is just one of a broader set of skirmishes

  between this president and what he calls the fake news media.

• 00:57

  The relationship between the press and the presidency is inherently fractious,

• 01:01

  but just how worrisome are the fights under this administration?

• 01:05

  And can the press learn anything about how to do its job better?
