Should the media totally boycott Goebbels-in-pearls ?

http://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2017/11/29/sarah-sanders-north-lawn-response-anti-muslim-sot.ewtn/video/playlists/top-news-videos/

Her latest lame attempt to defend the Nazi-in-Chief

Of course Faux, WND, et al will never boycott her.

They should refuse to come back until she stops insulting them.

They wouldn't have to worry about their precious "access." 45 would be clamoring for attention.

Let them hold alternative press conferences.

would replace the media with alt right, conspiracy theorist nuts, and "new" media which would just be trump admin propagandists in media clothing.

No, the media "simply" need to grow a spine. (just like a lot of dems).

They can only be so aggressive in these briefings before they get accused of LIBERAL MEDIA blah blah (which we know is BS). I've watched briefings and some really do try to do their jobs. GIP just gets nasty, does her crazy nazi dance and it's mostly a huge waste of time.

It would be a real statement to the American people that Trump has crossed the rubicon. Even Nixon didn't get this treatment. I don't remember Ziegler being as bad, maybe he was. Very long time ago.

He was bad, but not like this.

I had sort of a personal connection to the guy. I liked his mother, but he was slimy.

And detail all the lies she tells and the apparent motive behind them.
