WH press corps and their bosses are being duped

Dipshit speaking now. You can't hear Questions. It allows him to riff at will.

They should be ashamed that they are participating in this scheme to silence them and allow a one sided propaganda exercise.

Do not give him a platform. Demand a proper conference in a room with mics. Or don't show up.

As long as they continue to treat this president like a "normal" president with just a few personality issues, we're living in an alternate universe. Political junkies get it, but too many Americans will fall for it.

BUT... specifically on these copter conferences. Surely the networks see that their employees can not be seen or heard? No reward. No one sees that NBC, for example, asked a great question and made them look good. They are literally only serving one single purpose, to allow him a platform that's not Twitter. Neither can be challenged.

Who was that reporter that they claimed assaulted an aide or something. I distinctly remember trump saying later...no worries we can just turn off his mic.

These Rope Line Presser's are just staged events by the Orange Anus. The Slug is a master of the Crafting and Staging and these Reporters are just props,over paid props.

Do not think for a moment the likes of NBC,ABC,Murdoch and others are going to risk their Access to the White House.

particpating, they are willing to go along only because trump will take it out on them if they don't?

This to me is huge. And they can't report on it. It's like the press needs a whistleblower
or an outlet that doesn't participate who exposes this travesty.

Why I still like Cohen's Nov 2017 articles of impeachment that included his actions against freedom of the press.

and reporting out something to the Copy Desk or the News Desk. We would do Pressers at our Dem Office during 2016 when a Candidate or their Spox would show up for a meet and greet. They are called Stand up interviews where a local Newsey Reporter would use a Q&A script,and those live shots are sent to their news Editors and maybe it will show up on the evening news or be picked up by a National Network,but usually these interviews end up in the trash.

You could always count on the ABC and CBS affiliates as well as one of the print media reporters to show.
