Just do away with the press conference, it’s an outdated concept. It just gives media prima donnas a chance to preen. It adds nothing to informing the public and now contributes the growing incivility.
It is the fact that journalism is monochromatically Democrat in effect (if not in registration) which makes the press conference obsolete.If you think about it, the president could readily construct a program format which excluded reporters altogether and included Cabinet members, all orchestrated by the president, and he could create an audience and invite C-Span to televise it when they wanna.
