Katy Tur is Going to be banned. She asked question about Trump showing either his taxes or what he owes overseas banks because basically most Americans want to know. 74%. Spicer? Asked and answered!
Awards for all who endured this 5 Hour Energy-pumped exercise. I could only take a few seconds of the amped schnauzer-like yapping.
According to MSNBC, yersterday, she didn’t get the White House slot:
Hallie Jackson, who covered Donald Trump’s campaign for NBC News, has been named White House correspondent… Kasie Hunt has been named Capitol Hill correspondent. Katy Tur, who had covered Trump’s campaign from day one, will remain in New York
Curious…
Sorry, Sean. Reporters have decided to visit the Dump Hotel in NYC instead.
Indeed. Hallie was definitely in the studio today.
Translation: You’re on notice. Behave or you’re all outta here.
Same thing the CNN shout down was about in POS’ last press conference.
(Note: apparently Twitter is the new way for communications…, so i suggest as a means to save characters and pack more info into the available 140, we should Shorten “POTUS” to “POS”
Follow the old-timers lead…chortle inappropriately, wax poetic over lost American values, cash those checks and shut-up when told.
Afraid of the CNN treatment.
Paraphrasing Ben Franklin…They must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, they shall all hang separately…
Watch for a Super 8 motel conference room at exit 43 on I95 S just outside of Baltimore to be the next press room.
Or maybe she didn’t want it? If I were her, I’d have had enough of that kind of treatment by now…
“Unprecedented?”
Just because Trump isn’t used to people caring about what he’s doing doesn’t mean the American people haven’t always had a strong interest in the President’s agenda. There’s a reason there’s a Press Room in the White House. And, you know, not having any transparency or anything that looks like a “plan” is likely to engender some questions…
Frankly there is an unprecedented interest in covering this president…
Everyone wants to be there for that moment when he proves he is clinically insane.
Is anyone else concerned that the spokesperson is promoting the hotel?
That “unprecedented interest” is the tell here. Robert Reich had a column denouncing this—he said the idea of moving them, or controlling who’s there, is because they want to pack the room with bogus “journalists” from Breitbart and other loony fringe venues to form a cheering section and harass the real newsies the way they did at that press conference. The idea that the media, however flawed, play a valuable and Constitutionally protected role in this society is completely alien to these authoritarian sociopaths, they are viciously hostile to it, and if the real media don’t band together and stand against this they are well and truly fucked. And so are we all. They did it once at the hotel opening and they had damn well better learn to make it a habit.
Poor Sean…in the press room all by his lonely self
Aw, poor baby.
It’s interesting that the contact trump has with his new DC hotel explicitly states that no elected official of the US may hold the lease. trump will have a major conflict of interest as soon as he takes the oath. This is just one of many (source was NPR radio).
My fantasy is he’s cuffed on the podium.
“As you can tell by today, there is a tremendous interest, frankly an unprecedented interest in covering this president,” Spicer told reporters in an on-camera news conference. “The demand and enthusiasm to understand the agenda that he has and that what he’s going to be doing is frankly unprecedented.”
Yeah… um… I don’t think in this case that’s something to brag about. The coverage isn’t because they want to understand what’s he’s doing because what he’s doing is good. No, it’s because he - and you - are a total shit show.
Literally: it’s like watching monkeys in the zoo throw shit at the wall - and the people viewing them. While also masturbating. Lot’s of masturbating. Mental masturbation on the trump-side of this analogy, of course, but masturbation nonetheless (and NO, I do NOT want to consider the probability that, when it comes to team trump, there are lots of other kinds of masturbation going on as well, despite the fact that I suspect that between twitter and that-which-I-shall-not-consider, his whole day is tied up… No wonder he can’t organize a competent transition - no time!)
