Have these “briefings” by fax. Send it to one machine in the basement of the White House. Make the ridiculous press corps take numbers like at the deli. Then escort them in AND out under armed guard one at a time.

See how they like that.

Actually, I could agree to the Friday press conference...I might even schedule it for 9PM at night.

Raise hands, no shout outs and no follow ups.

That is what I am thinking. The press breifing is a way to show everyone how biased the Media is against President Trump.

"No idea if Acosta is married, but if he is I really feel sorry for that “little woman.”

I'm not sure Acosta bats from that side of the plate if you know what I mean.

Have them call in, #Press 1 for English, etc. Make a phone tree of a thousand choices before they get the actual briefing.

Yes - this is out of control and the fact that is allowed to continue in this chaotic fashion is beginning to look unprofessional for those running things, despite the fact it is the presstitutes’ behavior that is out of control. Eventually it becomes obvious that those in charge are essentially allowing it.

Also this hostility taking place right in in the WH is dangerous and produces a bad vibe.

Submit written questions and/or hold the press conference just once a week and have consequences for shout outs and bad behavior. (consequence - no entry for a period of time)

I really hope the WH is smart enough to do these things because just letting this circus go on and on appears weak.

And now for an opposing point of view...

I want them to continue. The briefings out the MSM for who they are, and there is some pleasure to be found in the press corps receiving its comeuppance on a continuing basis. It gives them something to whine about, and it gives us something to cheer about.

The televised press briefing only dates from 1995.

I think they should just stick a Zoltar fortune-teller machine in the press dungeon. Let them lime up with their quarters, and have it loudly announce their weight and laugh at them. It would announce the economic figures and laugh loudly at them. Every once in a while, it could administer a shock to the person inserting a coin, and laugh loudly at them. We could broadcast it live on its own dedicated 24-hour cable channel. I know I’d watch!

As exasperating as the things are, they allow the MSM to do significant damage to themselves.

It’s one thing to say Jim Acosta acts like a pi$$y, petulant 3-year old; it’s another thing to let people see that behavior for themselves.

As such, the briefings are valuable to our side.

Acosta and his wife, Sharon Mobley Stow, a registered nurse, separated in 2017 after 24 years of marriage.

At one time, the press submitted their questions in writing.

At the very least, don’t put the camera on them.
