Sen Reid to media: Your work is more important than ever

Retiring Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) urged the media to double their efforts as power changes hands in Washington during what may be his last press conference on Capitol Hill.

"Right now your work is more important than ever," Minority Leader Reid said, acknowledging that he may not address them again as Democratic leader. Referring to the proliferation of fake news stories that Democrats felt played a role in tipping the presidential election to Donald Trump, Minority Leader Reid said: "You have an extremely difficult responsibility now, and it’s more important than ever." “Taking tough questions from journalists is part of the job and I wish you all the very best, recognizing your burden at this stage of America is extremely heavy, and I wish you the very best in doing what you can to help our great country,” he said.
