The White House’s New Press Strategy Has Reporters Furious
The Daily Caller ^ | 06/23/2017 | Amber Randall

Reporters are growing infuriated with the White House’s new press strategy designed to make them look ridiculous, a Thursday profile reveals.

The White House is adopting a new approach to the way that it handles press briefings with the hopes of messing with reporters, CNN reported.

The approach works like this: the White House will host a public briefing one day and then cancel their briefings for the next few days, causing outrage from media outlets and their reporters. When the anger over a lack of press briefings builds up, the White House will host an off-camera briefing and continue the process all over again.

Reporters have grown furious with this method as they are continually worked up into a frenzy over the White House’s constant changes to the press briefings, how they are conducted and the lack of answers from Press Secretary Sean Spicer.

If the MSM is displeased, keep doing it. If they’re angry, make it policy. If they’re neither, change things up.

I think it has to do with them not being able to get face time on their networks trying to insult and trip up the Trump administration.

That, and the side bets they have with each other on talk time, order of being picked, most interruptions, most nonsensical question asked, etc.

I keep reading and rereading this article looking for something bad about this. I can’t find anything.

When Trump kicks them off Air Force One, then he’ll be doing something that needs to be done (for security reasons, of course).

I dumped my liberal friends. I realized they are useless, ugly, violent, did I say ugly? And my life is so much more peaceful.

Everyone should try it!

From CNN:

“Five months into Donald Trump’s presidency, White House-media relations are hanging by a thread.”


CNN has always full out opposed President Trump. If they want any kind of “relations” they need to apologize and promise to be nice. That goes for nearly all of the Establishment media.

Anything that pisses off the lying liberal lamestream media I'm all for.

Suck it up, cupcakes! When you start telling the truth maybe things will change.

So reporters are upset because they...
1. won’t be able to preen before the cameras, and
2. won’t be able to splice and dice the tape for the evening news.

Hahahaha!!!!!!!

Why give enemies of the state a big platform for gotcha questions? This actually does my heart a world of good!

"What media relations are CNN referring?"

I can only assume CNN wants to continue the sort of "relations" with the White House press corps that a bull has with a cow...

And Trump is having none of that, so CNN is having a cow!

If MSM did such an honest job, we the people would be in their corner. But they aren’t, so we are not.

Trump administration-media relations... They have a relationship like I had with Stephanie Swathmore, senior class hottie. I worshiped the ground that she walked on, and she had no clue that I existed. In other words, there was no relationship whatsoever. If Trump wants to muck with that relationship, I say rock on, dude.

Fun article. If CNN and ABC are furious, that proves it’s the right thing to do. Winning!
