As long as SNL is on hiatus, we will continue with on-camera press briefings…
Reporters’ method of recording is not up to the White House. Any reporter who gives up their First Amendment rights so easily should find another line of work.
“We’ll see what happens.”
Well, that’s going to be a little difficult without cameras!
Sanders said she has “grown up with the press, in the press” but has “never seen the level of hostility that this press corps has to the President.”
Perhaps the hostility she sees toward the “president” is largely result of Drumpf’s hostility toward the press since day one combined with his own demonstrable incompetence.
Labeling the press as 'public enemy #1" might have something to do with it.
Whereas Sarah H. Sanders is a despicable liar and (not terribly effective) propagandist, and whereas I strongly support the concept of freedom of the press, I find that I have little faith in the White House Press Corps. Their lack of political discernment is matched only by their intellectual laziness and propensity to bothsiderism.
At this point?
Why?
Inflicting your face onto the television is adding insult to injury.
This a common Trumpism. Often, Trump uses the phrase in conjunction with promises or references to deliverables which seldom materialize.
Y’a think?
There’s one reason I don’t want these briefings to be on camera.
OTOH, reporters can roll their eyes all they want or laugh silently.
What a useful debate. As if the briefings serve any informative purpose.
Huckabee Sanders: If the press is nice to me, we’ll allow everyone to watch. Otherwise…
Here’s the color version of the cartoon which shows Sanders’ red dress and donald’s yellow hair even better. But the twisted thing she does with her face in good in either B&W or color.
Hold your phone up and press record. Reporters really can’t figure this out?
If any colleagues are dragged out of the room for recording the press conference, point your phone at them being dragged out and then post that video on Twitter immediately.
Done.
