The corporate MSN is nothing more than a lobbyist group with a unified agenda and well-defined and specific goals that do no align with those of the Trump Administration or most Americans. The MSM has become an arm of the Democrat Party and patriotic Americans are right to distrust both the news profession and their product.

It would be nice if Spicer would just go out each morning and find five tourists visiting the capital and offer them chairs at the front, and see if they had one question each.

Regardless of what Trump does, the media is “the opposition” and frankly, “the enemy”. Rather than roll over & let them sniff where your balls used to be (as Repubs are known to do most times), some raised hackles and fangs might change the battlefield terrain from being surrounded/beseiged in the swamp to firing down from the high point on the hill - works for me. As Newt said, last year during the campaign, a Trump admin will cause some chaos, but a lot of voters are willing to put up with that if it means turning over the table & starting a new game. I totally agree - everybody I know is on Trump’s side as far as the enemedia is concerned & the current ‘turning over’ of the media table & the new game is what we voted for.

Sounds like they are insecure, thin-skinned, ego-driven meglomaniacs to me.

Oh?
And Andrea Mitchell or George Stephanopolis and so many others who are way up The Clintons rear are “Journalists”?

#13 - Good Question:

By the way... what is the difference between a “journalist” and any other citizen? What is a “journalist.” What are the characteristics of a journalist, as opposed to any other citizen who observes something and writes down on paper what he observed?

Is it a vaccination, a pill, or some special handshake?

Vallerie Jarrett's daughter just got hired by a media outlet specializing in gigabit photos. Besides having a mommy running inside the Beltway and a law degree, what are her qualifications? Perhaps, the young lady (Mrs. Balkissoon) can offer insight into dismantling ObamaCare or Canadian politics.

President Trump should have a new rule. Those news media who factually report the news will be called upon in the press room.

Those news media who hide the news or fake the news will not be called upon in the press room.

And it should be pointed out from time to time in the press room what violations were committed that deprived their listeners-viewers-readers of the factual information.

I suggest a CCN math test.
Use the gigapixel photo.
Find the center aisle, right side
Count 10 rows
Count 7 seats to the right from the center aisle
Green poncho, yellow poncho, black hoodie, black hoodlie
guy with no head cover (no hat) next to the woman in the clear poncho.
Question: Watch time is showing on his wrist watch?

I had never thought of all of that about the order of asking questions. What makes no difference to us does to the powers that be.

CNN was left to discuss how Jim Acosta was snubbed, because they didn't have the footage of Acosta asking a question.

The formula would have been this: Wolf Blitzer introduces a story, and then throws it to Acosta. Acosta sets up the background and then cuts to a clip of him asking his question and then Spicer giving the answer. When the clip ends they cut back to Acosta who "explains" Spicer's answer. Blitzer then asks Acosta a "smart" follow-up question and Acosta talks about what comes next from the Trump administration on this topic, or how the Democrats disagree. Blitzer then wraps up the segment with small-talk like "Thanks, Jim. We'll just have to see what happens tomorrow..."

The formula doesn't work if you're snubbed by the press secretary.

The conspiracy theories involve the deaths that surround the Clintons. The libs always engage is partial information and focus.
