One outfit needs to hire a helluva fiction writer to add color commentaryâŚeven better the winner of the godawful beginning sentence of the year award. It would go viral in a heartbeat!
I know we say this over and over again but imagine if a President Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders did this.
What would Republicans be saying and doing?
This is part of the pattern but it is actually good. They smell the end coming and donât want to face it.
The âendâ may not come for another year or so.
I donât even want to imagine the damage they can do in the meantime.
Of course RT is allowed their recorders.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhâŚthen they can cry âFake Newsâ or âyouâre a sad liarâ or âlittle whoeverâ and when questioned theyâll just say âProve itâ or 'Youâd better HOPE there arenât tapesâŚplease, God, make it stop!
Donât know why the media canât just call it what it is: fascism.
âIf he canât come out and answer the questions, and theyâre just not going to do this on camera or audio, why are we even having these briefings or these gaggles in the first place?â
Exactly. If theyâre lying and prevaricating to begin with, why exactly are you giving them air time?
There was a movie once called âA Day without a Mexicanâ which contemplated a single day in L.A. without a maid, gardener, cook, field hand or home constructor. Imagine âA Day without Traipsing after the Trump Administration.â Deprive the drama queen of his oxygen.
Trump and the rest of them twitter - he can reach out to the base whenever he pleases. You can continue gathering facts and interviewing sources and reporting news. News like Isis has captured Tora Bora. News that others were shot in San Francisco last Friday, not just Mr. Scalise. Whatever Congress is sneaking under the radar while all the noise is going on.
Just like the good old days
So what about C-Span?
Well, good for Acosta for providing honest commentary (which will of course be dismissed as fake news or a witch hunt).
Câmon, that canât be a Republican crowd - thereâs, you know, Black people thereâŚ
All the major networks and newspapers and syndicates should boycott.
Meanwhile, Trump is trying to get a war on in Syria.
then treat the WH as it should be treated, stop attending the âbriefingsâ, collect the hand out press releases, then point out the holes in the press releases with questions that would have been typically asked and answered in a traditional briefing
with phrases like: the press release failed to resolve matter X, the WH has made no effort to clear up questions regarding issue Y, and either has no clue what to do, or is uninterested in addressing this issue in some transparent and understandable way, embarrass them, or put words in their mouths and force them to deny your interpretation
pretty obvious that there is no interest in playing fair with this group, make them pay the price for operating outside the norms, and when they say âno fairâ call them out for their unwarranted behavior
So now the White House can call their own briefings âfake newsâ?
Dear dog, that would make them honest in that instance.
Having public conniptions, and holding hearings.
