During Monday’s briefing at the White House, Sanders began by saying she was “very thankful” for her family, faith, and the people serving in the armed forces.

Winning!!

What about the WH just scrap these useless briefings and let the whining @sshats of the press cry and beotch like the useless appendage they are. What’s the difference? They are whining little flakes anyway.

This stuff makes me laugh. Reporters claim that they are detached from the mundane realities of being an American. It is beneath them to proclaim their gratitude for the benefits of living in this country, or saying standing for the National anthem. They are ‘objective’, you see. Yet they join ‘Journolist’ or take their marching orders from the Democrat Party every chance they get. Freaking hypocrites.

Good point. My take is that members of the press are cultural illiterates, they don't understand the traditional American holiday of Thanksgiving, and the tradition of giving thanks. They also don't understand that many Americans don't like to have their holiday trashed in the name of politics. They also don't understand the terrible rudeness of using the holiday to try to force their political beliefs on others.

Several high-profile columnists and writers have torn into Sanders over the last few weeks to mock her appearance, the way she talks

Well, I'm sure it's a pretty long list. And that very same list should now be all the RATagandists who no longer have access to press briefings nor the President.

Any of the media a##holes who don't like her should be barred from the White House, and their employer told they need to send someone professional and not just another partisan shill. Thanks markomalley.
One reporter who regularly attends the briefings, however, said it wasn't nearly so serious. "Clearly, if you pay attention to what happened in the room, everyone participated," the reporter, who was not authorized to speak on the record, told the Washington Examiner. "I just don't see what's so bad." ...Sanders did not return a request for comment Wednesday from the Examiner, but White House Communications Director Hope Hicks said Sanders is a "wonderful role model and representative" for the U.S. "I saw this first hand on our recent trip to Asia where Sarah was sought out by so many people in every country we visited," Hicks said. "Countless strangers praised her strength and grace under pressure. I have seen first hand how everywhere we go Sarah seeks out our bravest men and women to thank them for their service and sacrifice, and yet she is always amazed when they say the same back to her. Those are the kind of personal comments that truly matter." And it's apparently possible for some in the media to go too far... Despite the complaints from some, other reporters who deal with Sanders for their stories say she is generally helpful and responsive to their questions. One reporter described their relationship with Sanders as "professional." Another longtime Washington-based politics reporter said they prefer Sanders over her predecessor. "For me, she's more responsive than Sean Spicer ever was," the reporter said. "I think she tries to be helpful, but with this White House you always have to be concerned with how much she even knows. And I usually find you have to go deeper into the administration and on background to uncover the real story." Another reporter, who also attends the briefings, said Sanders does her job well "in so far as she's only speaking when it makes a difference on the issues when they matter to the president." The reporter added, "A lot of [the criticism] is just that she doesn't feed our egos."

Can’t believe Trump allows this farce to continue. All it is is a constant attempt to make him look bad.

I LOVE HER!! She takes no crap off the jackals - responded in an interview that she has three kids under five so has had lots of practice dealing with big babies. She’s centered - and confrontational if she needs to be. The reason they hate her so much is that she’s SO good!

This article used a whole lotta words to simply say Sarah Sanders is getting under the skin of the press pool reporters at the WH.

I say good. I don’t watch most of them and haven’t for a lot of years but when I did; some of them got under my skin with their extreme leftist bias so good for Sarah for returning that favor.

“What difference does it make?” The media will knock Judge Jeannie or Laura Ingram if they had the job. They will never look for anything good to say, they have to feed the hate they created.

I’m glad she wasn’t my mom. I don’t think I’d have ever gotten away with anything.

Seriously, I think she’s the best press secretary since Tony Snow.

I think he may have started at the Tacoma News Tribune and I remember him mocking the death of some folks (airplane crash?) Back in the 80’s

I love Sarah Sanders. I’m being gracious today and not commenting on previous spokescritters of previous admins.

Wish my “troubled” sister could understand resentment and thankfulness.

The light hurts their Eyes after they spent the last eight Years with their Heads firmly planted up Obama’s Butt.

“Can’t believe Trump allows this farce to continue. All it is is a constant attempt to make him look bad.”

I agree. The only person that handles the press the way they should be ‘handled’ is Trump.

‘Sit down, sit down...Not you, not you, you’re fake news.’

We need to clone the man.

Sanders seems like a honest person. Most of those press people do not have a sense of right and wrong.

“The New Yorker’s Masha Gessen called the episode “degrading” and said Sanders was a “bully” who was mocking “democratic institutions, and the English language.”

I don’t know anything about that, but we will be eating a lot of “masha” potatoes this afternoon!
