I would not even let offending correspondents into the briefings until they behaved like adults and asked sane questions.
Why waste time and effort hiring, training, briefing, and replacing press spokespersons?
Just announce that effective immediately, all questions must be submitted in writing, and will be answered in writing.
Press briefings have no legitimate purpose unless they are conducted in a manner so that the American people better understand the policies and activities of the chief executive.
The way these briefings are now being hijacked by dishonest, leftist ideologues, they are doing exactly the opposite. They are creating consternation, conflict and confusion.
President Trump has a duty to the American people to put an end to these briefings at once.
I have watched the briefings since the beginning and the media is so disrespectful...they act like animals and the crap they ask, of what purpose do those ‘outright’ hostile questions help Americans?
I say shut it down...
Voice to text only...much like voicemail service that gets converted to an email...problem solved.
My suggestions:
1. Trump press conference every 2-3 weeks.
2. Written releases as often as needed.
3. Twitter for everything else.
He needs to call in all the heads of the various media and tell them if they can’t send anyone with manners he will be shutting the pressers down. He needs to remind them that no matter what they think of him personally he is the President of the United States elected by the people of the United States and if nothing else the media needs to respect them
Way too complex and doesn’t change a damn thing that matters.
Here’s what happen at the daily press briefings:
PressSec walks out once a morning, hands out written briefs for the print enemedia, reads said briefs out-loud for the video enemedia, executes an about-face and then walks from the room. repeat daily.
doing anything else is pointless.
