Openness and tweets

On several occasions Trump has stated that since he came on the scene the new media has received higher ratings and this includes print, radio and TV. There are articles on the Internet stating how Trump saved CNN as their ratings were in decline until he came along. This AM Morning Joe started his show by saying they had seven White House stories to cover anyone of which would have been a two week news cycle just two years ago. Many of these stories were given additional impetus by Trumps tweets. While almost all news outlets oppose these tweets they often times barely beat the leaks that follow. By tweeting ahead of the news the administration becomes one of the most transparent as well as one of the leakiest.
