President Trump has been a very polarizing figure in many ways, including how he deals with the media.  Have you been interested in Presidential politics recently or for a long time?
gpt
I'm always reading up on politics, I know Trump had issues with cnn reporters such as April Ryan
human
*tilts head* Do you know if there were similar, if less publicized, issued between previous Presidents and reporters?  I can't think that people disagreeing with the President is new.
gpt
Well I know Nixon had issues with some reporters but not he wasn't as overt as Trump
human
*sighs* Seeing how people in the public eye have become very rude (both the president and the media in some cases) makes me feel very old.  I just don't think that people should be disrepectful of each other.  And I also believe that you can disagree on a wide variety of topics but do so with respect.

Yes, it's unfortunate with the 24/7 news cycle has changed the way people behave and treat each other
human
*eyes brighten* If there were 24 hours worth of "news" to report, it might be different, but my first impression of most "shows" on CNN, Fox, etc is that they are not news at all, but opinion, editorial, and posturing.  But no one makes them put a warning label on the shows like they do on Diet sodas.
gpt
*curls lip* Yes, I don't think reporter and the president should be arguing or having a president revoke a press pass either
human
It must be hard, as a journalist, to try to get a whole story when you just get to ask one question - so I can understand the instinct to try to ask more and try to get into a discussion. But I've also wondered how open and transparent the whole press pass and access process is.  I have heard about reporters from non-major or new reporting media having a lot of trouble getting into the press pool.

Unfortuantly I think they only cater to national news networks and maybe the DC area news

I'm sure there would not be enough seats in the whole White House if they allowed everyone to have a place.  Have you ever been able to tour or visit the White House yourself?
gpt
No unfortunately not but I did see it once from afar. I read George W Bush reinstalled solar panels on the white house
human
Yes, When I read that it made me curious as to who had FIRST put the solar panels on?  Would it have been as long ago as President Carter?
gpt
Carter definitely seems like the obvious choice but were solar panels around during his presidency?
human
That was my first question as well.  I know that when I was in grade school (1980's) my friend's family had solar panels.  They were huge - took up most of the side of the house - almost 1.5 stories tall.  If it was that long ago, I'm sure they were not as efficient (or as nice looking) as they can be now.

*calm eyes* Yea, if they were around during Teddy Roosevelt presidency then I would say him, he was a staunch conservationist
human
*body relaxes* That's very true.  He was always one of my favorite Presidents - because of his personality and his environmental sensibility.  I appreciate that he liked nature and wanted to preserve it without feeling that conservation meant you should never touch or interact with nature.
gpt
Yes, Teddy was definitely a character lol
human
*laughs* I once traveled to South Dakota and saw a "statue" of Teddy made of butter!
gpt
Ok I'm gonna have to google that one
