Bad ruling
End the whole stupid press conference “Sturm Und Drang” show! Let the networks give them TV shows where they can show their angst, preen & prance!. The information content from the current situation is basically zero! Do the following instead!
1. Accept questions from the network “newsies” through the WH website. Accept questions from anybody! That way no one is favored. Break the MSM monopoly!
2. Assign a number as they come in. Then randomly the questions & rank order them due to issues of the day & things the WH wants to emphasize. Post 100 questions with answers the next day on the WH website downloadable by anyone. Also place a DVD with a paper summary in the WH press room. (This is for those of the press who are cyber challenged!) The remaining questions get answered over time just not the next day like the first 100.
3 The MSM can take these “answers” and discuss, whine, cry throw all the TV tantrums they want on the networks time & money. Let’s see if anyone actually watches!
4. Buy time on the network for FDR-like “Fireside Chats”. I am sure the MSM’s will respond with the “counter-chats” . Fine! Again lets see who ratings are better!
5. Put the “chats” and other WH information videos on YouTube. That’s where millennials for better or worse are going for their information anyway. This reaches out to them. The WH Press Brief is out of date! End it! Break that old paradigm Do it! It’s Trumpian to do so!
