Nobody will be intimidated by anyone.  Trump has pulled a fast one by getting the head of CNN to admit that if trump doesn't play nice there is to be biased coverage.  Now trump can yell fake news till he's blue in the face.  Given what streaming video online is doing to the tv industry there is no monopoly on news which is good as there are many people holding the whitehouse accountable and a lot of competition holding the press corps accountable.

The problem with too many talking heads is that there will never be a "free to choose" series which was fantastic.

One problem with Trump as he keeps putting out fake news (such his inauguration attendance #'s etc.) until he is, well, orange in the face. And there are those that buy it simply because he said it. And then when he does get caught out, he just says he didn't say it, and conjures up another illegal EO.
