And all the non-“conservative” news outlets should simply boycott these dog and pony shows. What’s the point; the headline is always the same: “Trump (and/or spokesperson) Lies.” And you’re done.
I’d name a drink after this asshole, but “Moscow Mule” has been around for awhile.
HOW MANY MORE TIMES WILL THAT HAVE TO BE REPEATED! I mean, really. 
For the moment, the Orange Hot Air Buffoon dodges whats happening around him.
Trump called on two outlets in each, respectively: the New York Post and Fox Business; Sinclair Broadcasting-owned WJLA and the Daily Caller; and Christian Broadcasting News and Townhall.com
The Washington Times must be having a sad.
A time honored technique of authoritarian regimes from Hitler to Chavez to Trump. We have to deal with this unacceptable behaviour not just whine about it.
Steamboat Bill, Jr. takes a while to get going, but the last third of the film, which includes the shot above, is terrific. Buster Keaton was awesome.
Avoiding the media makes Trump appear guilty in the American mind even if he’s innocent as a newborn lamb. 
Odd the alleged media-savvy star doesn’t appear to be able to distinguish between the entertainment camera lens and the news one. If he’d stuck to his persona and flushed the old GOP from the get-go he’d be huge. We should be somewhat grateful for his mental issues and the needed system reset his disaster has created as long as he doesn’t kill us all.
They are press conferences. They are media appearances. Everyone must refuse to even entertain the notion they are press conferences. Stop letting these jackasses control the narrative.
True. For the moment.
Trump needs a review of the First Amendment and of Jefferson’s comments about the importance of a free press.
Presidential attempts at smothering a free press = Tyranny!
just keep doing your job press/media.
the regime can not ignore the truth and the puppet can play his games right up the point where he resigns in disgrace.
We were JUST saying that on the other thread.
Look, I understand it’s hard for institutions to break with tradition but Rump’s whole regime is nothing but a severe break with tradition.
EDIT TO ADD: @seaturtle01 Historically speaking, they were press conferences. Even with W’s maladministration, they disseminated information. You’re right - it’s totally devolved to PR conferences.
By 2019, the typical, rare Trump press conference will consist of calling on a WH staffer to ask a question about the scale of DJT’s electoral college victory, with a follow-up on voting fraud.
Also, - how is Rump’s glorious team going to get rid of the Obama deadenders who have made Rump’s life miserable.
Those questions all have the same tone, and even cadence. Could they have been provided to the various outlets? Naaa…
Meanwhile, back at the bat (-shit crazy) cave, the GOP is takin’ care of business…
Senate votes to block rule meant to prevent people with mental disorders from purchasing guns
Magic Trump Ball?

C’mon…if he called on someone reputable he’d have to answer some QUESTIONS!!! And they (Ryan and McConnell) say he doesn’t want to be a dictator…HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
