The questions at the ‘press conferecnes’ were submitted ahead of time, approved/rewritten by the WH, and then loaded into the teleprompter. That’s how it worked.

Trump is right to end the monopoly on the press room to the dead and dying media. Breitbart, Jim from here. Open the people’s house open to the people.

8 years without a single tough question from the media.

Not according to the WH press liar, Josh Earnest, who had this to say just the other day:

“Sometimes we have been frustrated by the number of questions that are asked in one exchange,” Earnest said. “Sometimes we’ve been frustrated that questions include either questionable or inaccurate premises. In some cases we’ve been frustrated that the line of questioning from a number of journalists has been focused on the same thing.”

“There are other occasions where I’ve expressed to journalists some frustration with their decision to interrupt the president as he’s giving his answer to try to press him more forcefully, and there have even been occasions where the president himself has betrayed a little frustration about that,” Earnest added.

It's unclear which alternative universe this occurred in because it certainly wasn't here.
