CNN host Brooke Baldwin appeared visibly angry during her show on Tuesday after the White House press briefing was delayed multiple times, saying that the White House "cannot avoid" the media.
"A memo to the White House: you cannot avoid us; stop trying to dodge us," Baldwin said to the camera. "This briefing needs to begin. It was supposed to begin an hour and fifteen minutes ago, and then it was supposed to begin twenty-five minutes ago. There's a lot to talk about and we need to see [White House press secretary] Sarah Sanders behind that podium."
Baldwin went on to say that it is "entirely fair" to "be tough" on the White House because there were many questions that needed to be answered before it held the Public Safety Officer Medal of Valor awards ceremony later in the hour.
CNN senior White House correspondent Jeff Zeleny echoed that there were too many questions that the White House needed to answer in the limited time allotted for the briefing. He noted that it had been exactly one week since the last White House press briefing and said that the White House has delayed its press briefings repeatedly.
"Gloria, what's this about?" Baldwin asked CNN chief political analyst Gloria Borger.
Borger also said many questions needed to be answered and it is clear White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders did not want to answer them.
"Maybe there's a possibility that they're actually going to say something about guns, for example," Borger said. "Maybe the president having spoken with people like Sen. [John] Cornyn [R., Texas], etc. over the weekend that maybe actually the White House is going to say, ‘Look, this is where we want to go on background checks or bump stocks,' and maybe that would be one thing you could consider."
"I think that it behooves the White House to stand there and answer these questions and not have an abbreviated 10-minute session," Borger added.
Oh shut up, you Crybaby
Grow up
When did Congress pass a law mandating press briefings for the President?
Did I miss something? Because that reporter sure has his hackles up for his prerogatives.
Where was all that anger when obozo was habitually late? HOURS late in most cases! And bj was even worse.
By and large, President Trump is on time for his scheduled appointments.
Pipe down, Sweet. You aren’t pretty when you’re angry.
As I recall, Obama went 200+ days without a press briefing at times. President Trump should do that.
Sarah...take a week off. Play with your kids. Bake something. Watch the mediots twist and turn. IOW yank their chains some more!
Yes Brooke - because it’s all about you. “Do you know who I am?!”
Of all the vapid CNN numpties, Brooke Baldwin seems to have vaulted to the top of the list.
Her knitted-eyebrow routine when interviewing one lefty ranter after another is tiresome and tiring (for her).
She is a empty-headed autocue reader who occasionally issues some ‘powerful’ statement or blog eg when Clay Travis left her absolutely dumbstruck because he praised the 1st Amendment (gasp) and women’s breasts (double gasp). To hear Baldwin tell it, it was worse than 9/11.
Entitled useful idiots whining
Her daily press beatings are pretty wonderful. She doesn’t give them an inch. It’s probably their frustration with that coming through, with this story.
“This briefing needs to begin. It was supposed to begin an hour and fifteen minutes ago, and then it was supposed to begin twenty-five minutes ago. There’s a lot to talk about and we need to see [White House press secretary] Sarah Sanders behind that podium.”

Sarah isn’t late to the press briefing. She’s staying out of the room so they can call in a drone strike.
It...umm...behooves the media and the Left (sorry for redundancy) to grow up and realize they are not the center of the universe.
...When did Congress pass a law mandating press briefings for the President?...
And did that law include a timetable for press conferences?
This is not an airline. Things happen when they actually happen.
Grow up. You are not that important, just another cog in the media wheel.
Trump should stick to what has worked for him. Tweet what he has to say, and get his view out to the PEOPLE without intermediary.
I’ve watched a lot of the press briefings. They’re whining about “many questions” need to be answered, well, why do so many of them ask the exact same question? Sarah Sanders spends at least half of the time answering the same question over and over again, it all depends on what the dem talking point is at the time.
Memo to press: Sure we can...GET OUT!
SECURITY!
But under Obama? "How was his weekend? Try any new foods? Watch any new movies? Take a swim perhaps? Gee, the prez is looking mighty cool these days!"
These people make me sick.

I do not recall a single CNN "host" complaining about lack of accessibility to the Obama administration, or shouting "you cant avoid us" at his vapid press secretaries. I also never heard anyone from CNN, any time between 2009 and 2017, say that it is "entirely fair" to "be tough" on the White House because there were many questions that needed to be answered
Brooke, take your ball and go home. Please.
