Sean "Ignorance is Bliss" Spicer

[Tripper11]

Does this fucking guy know the answer to ANYTHING???

Holy shit, he doesn't talk to his boss, he doesn't communicate with anyone else in the administration, what the holy fuck is this guy doing???

I heard one reporter say something about turning the cameras on, the lights were there and all, and Spicer just brushed it off, and no OTHER reporter jumped in to back their colleague up.

This is not freedom of the press, audio, or minimal briefings etc.

1. The press is putting up with this.

They are complicit. They should boycott these briefings. They should hold their own well-publicized briefings in another spot, where they ask their questions and demand answers. If there is no one there to answer their questions, publicize that. In this day of Youtube and Twitter, the alternative press conference would go viral in no time.

They are complicit wimps!

2. corporate media is whimping out

pathetic. Through their craven acquiesence, they are revealing their complicit corporate roots. sad.

3. Jim Acosta is the only one screaming for the press to act in unity.

At least, he's the only one I've seen to even mention that idea.

4. it's called the minimization of the media...chip away at their credibility

trump is famous for this. 'fake news'

dictators are notorious for this.
