Do away with the stupid WH Press Briefing!
Its old fashioned and just gives TV newsie prima donnas a chance to preen!
Replace it with:
1. Ask through the WH website questions from not only the network “newesies” but from everybody.
2. Assign a number to them as they come in then rank order them as a function of “issues-of-the-day” e.g., Chinese trade violation North Korea, etc., points the WH wants to emphasize. Select 100 randomly from this list. Put on a DVD, with a pdf summary. Make it available in WH press room and make it all downloadable from the WH web site.
The question that didn’t make the list will be answer in due time.
3. The network newsies can agonize over the answers and navel gaze about them to their hearts content on their own network shows. Let’s see if any one watches!
4. Do the equivalent of “FDR Fireside chats” on network TV & very important - YouTube! The Rats can buy time on network TV and give their counter. Again lets see who will watch. (Harder to counter the YouTube, but they’ll try. Lets see how many likes, downloads etc. they get!)
There is no Constitutional requirement for the WH Briefing1
we delude ourselves into thinking its something like “Prime Minister Question Time” in Parliament. Even that’s ridiculous for this modern communication age!
Be innovative! Be Trump!
Agree 100% - It is time to break the strangle hold of the MSM.
Right, why are we engaging with the dinosaur media using dinosaur methods? they’re all in love with social media, let them sit at home behind their computer screens and submit questions.
