Some reporters are complaining that President Trump’s recent "gaggles" on the White House lawn -- as Marine One’s helicopter rotors blare in the background -- make it more difficult for them to hold the president accountable and paints them in an unprofessional light, according to a report.

"“If he was at a podium, we would be pressing him after he answers the question, we would be correcting him, we would be pointing out discrepancies in previous answers, and we’re not able to do that in the chaotic setting of a departure,” CBS News White House correspondent Weijia Jiang told Politico whined."

Fixed

[wastoute]

They should have given all this some thought back when they were acting up during the now defunct “press conferences”.

[Skooz]

Good.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

“If he [or the Press Secretary] were at the podium, we’d be posturing for the camera and trying to score points with our Democrat masters and future employers.”

That’s what she really was thinking.

[samtheman]

Boo f-ing hoo

[Cowboy Bob]

Weijia Jiang

Another H-1B journalist?

[bray]

Translation: No face time.

[duckman]

B/S they want TV face time only.

[gibsonguy]

Really smart move by the Pres. The grandstanding children are getting no camera face time. The abuse heaped on Sarah was just unforgivable.

[I want the USA back]

The media has no credibility. They look for things they can get Trump on. They deliberately distort.

When Trump says something odd, they repeat it endlessly. When biden says something stupid, it’s called a “gaffe” to minimize it and tell people it wasn’t really important.

[bramps]

Ungrateful, spoiled brats.

"“If he was at a podium, we would be pressing him after he answers the question, we would be correcting him, we would be pointing out discrepancies in previous answers,...

No agenda here...

[Sir Napsalot]

Chopper blades background noise made these journ0s less professional?

Do they also complain that they have to cover news stories with LE/Medic sirens in the background too?

This is like Hillary’s book “What happened” with excuses # 548,297 (and counting).

[yldstrk]

The press is still getting better than it deserves.

[Freee-dame]

In the formal press conferences, the media person gives a speech, often distorting reality and then asks PDJT to respond to an accusation. At the chopper, there’s only time for an actual question. Trump chooses which question to answer instead of choosing which person gets to attack him.

[jughandle]

If they’d ask him what was for breakfast or what his elegant wife was wearing today they wouldn’t have that problem now, would they.

[V_TWIN]

“paints them in an unprofessional light”

That ship sailed a looong time ago.

[Magnatron]

If he was at a podium, we would be pressing him after he answers the question, we would be correcting him, we would be pointing out discrepancies in previous answers...

Like they did with Obama...

[real saxophonist]

Apparently Weijia Jiang is all butthurt because after she badgered Trump for several minutes, he finally told her to sit down.

[ScottinVA]

If the “media” pukes didn’t ask such loaded, inane questions, this would never have been necessary.
