    I don't really think it is a bad thing to limit TV exposure and press conferences.  Too much spin and drama would be caused if we were always exposed to the mundane details.  Give us the readers digest version once in awhile works.  Honestly, who here wants to see Spicer or President Trump daily on TV? The sketch artist does a fine job of sketching people talking in a room.

    right?  I mean what's the harm in government controlling the media?  A little propaganda never hurt anyone...

    Let's start banning the media too from the press conferences and allow ones in like Infowars.  It's the American way.

    The video embedded in the article states "The interviews, etc are not mandated by anyone."
    So the current administration is doing nothing wrong.

    Don't be coy.  The current administration is doing nothing wrong "legally" by not granting cameras all the time, etc. There is no law mandating so.

    Edit: the funniest thing about this tweet is that Trump was briefed about the Russia meddling in August, but he continued to deflect blame away from them. Weird, right? Now he wants to know why Obama didn't do more. 

    For the the people who have hitched their wagon to this guy, are you feeling stupid yet? You should be.

    no. spicer is the press secretary for the president. he speaks on behalf of the president. we as citizens have the right to be briefed every day by the press secretary. the press secretary briefs reporters so that they can inform the rest of us. it is pretty simple how this is supposed to work. i think a teenager could understand how limiting press access is a bad thing.

    no they don't. feeling stupid requires higher brain function like being self aware and being able to feel shame and admit mistakes. chimpanzees are self aware, and they feel shame. many trumpers for the most part are not.

    I hear you but what do you mean "we as citizens have the right to be briefed every day by the press secretary"?  Where does it say that?

    I've been saying this from the outset.

    Youre either rich and set to benefit from an agenda designed with the sole purpose of making rich people richer... or you are a freaking moron.

    I can understand wanting change, but seriously... if you are demanding Honeybuckets adapt to the changing needs of fat bottomed people... you don't shit in your pants to demonstrate this. In other words, Hilary might have been a horrible candidate in one's mind... but the alternative was infinitely worse, not to mention damaging.

    Devout Republicans should have been irate for the choice their party left them. The party should have been olaced on alert with alarming election results that demonstrated people were not simply going to vote on party loyalty when such a shmuck was presented to them.

    With that said... he won.

    it is a public office. paid for by the public. the white house belongs to us, the people. the government belongs to us, the people. he owes us briefings so we, the people, are in the loop as to what is going on.

    Ok. Still nowhere is it stated that it is a right to be briefed everyday.

    The problem is the 24 hour cable news channels and political pundits.  It has contributed to hyper partisanship
