Sarah Sanders: White House done 'making stars out of people that want to be contributors on CNN'
The Washington Times ^ | January 23, 2019 | David Bauder - AP

NEW YORK — Following the apparent demise of the traditional afternoon briefing of reporters, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told Fox News Channel on Wednesday that any notion the Trump administration is not accessible to the press is “absolutely laughable.”

“I take questions from reporters every single day,” she said.

Sanders‘ venue for the statement, the morning show “Fox & Friends,” was familiar. Since Dec. 18, the day of the last White House press briefing, she’s given eight television interviews - six of them on Fox News Channel, according to networks and the liberal watchdog group Media Matters for America. She also appeared once on “CBS This Morning” and had a notably tough interview with Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday,” which is seen on both the Fox broadcast and cable news network.

Sanders has been interviewed on “Fox & Friends,” the agenda-setting morning show popular with Trump supporters, on Dec. 21, Jan. 4, Jan. 9, Jan. 16 and Wednesday. On Tuesday night, she appeared on Sean Hannity’s prime-time show, according to Media Matters.

President Donald Trump tweeted a day earlier that he had told Sanders not to bother with the afternoon briefing with White House reporters from all credentialed outlets because she has been treated rudely and inaccurately by the “fake news” media.

Good for Sarah Huckabee Sanders, she puts the blame right where it should be, CNN and Little Jimmy Acosta.

Fox must be rocking in the ratings for anyone who wants to hear what she has to say.

They are the least left.

But it would be a great opportunity to put One America, if that’s what it’s called, on everybody’s radar and appear on that show a lot.

Fox is left, and they have been a very long time.

They just are not as slanted and bias-blinded as the others.

So they stopped because of the lawsuit by Acosta... Nice job.

Win the court case. Lose the war. Good job Jim.

Acosta just doesn’t get it. Trump will always have the last word.

Actually Acosta does get to grandstand (border video) and act like an ass every day (it is in his nature), but we don’t have to watch him perform

We should all start addressing Acosta as “Abilio”... his given name.
