#DeFranco #WhiteHouse #PressBriefing
------------
oh hi hello. let's talk...
I was here first. Whats up Phil?
@@ADayintheLifeoftheTw great job !!! Keep it up
The Real Dewayne okay.
Phil you're supposed to be on vacation...
I've been watching you for years and I love your content. It's the reason I started doing RUclips. I suck now but I'll get better.
6:53, the problem with that is you can tweet him questions all you want, but then he can just choose to ignore those questions. Not saying he can't do that at press briefings, but something about having to say no to a question publicly holds more merit than hiding behind a screen.
How is that any different than asking him questions at a press meeting and him just ignoring them? Press meets were only ever set up as a way for the president to relay information through the press to people, via newspapers, then radio, then TV. With the ability to relay information to people through the internet, and an always increasing number of people who either have access to the internet or actively spend time looking for information on the internet, the only 2 reasons to continue having press meets are 1) Tradition. and 2) So that the press and their associated news outlets can get juicy sound bites/footage to twist the context of or use directly, for the purpose of getting more views.
Good point. Using Twitter for announcements means no one can ask questions back - it's harder to ignore in person
@@MrAdeelAH which would make it even more suspicious if something was up behind the scenes.
I totally agree. Like you said you can hide behind a screen and that means you also can’t see the expression the other person makes or how the say something and how they act when saying it. Those tells can help you decide if that person is lying, not speaking the entire truth, or that it makes them uncomfortable to speak about it and other possibilities.
@@AhranMaoDante because its easier to ignore and silence those you don't agree with rather than make a public display of your stupidity. Trump is indefensible which is why his press secretaries have basically given up. Sanders and Ricer have tried defending Trump in the past but Trump's own tweets would fuck him over silly, the press screenings were basically becoming SNL. Trump is the laughing stock of this country and throughout the world. God forbid this lunacy goes on past 2020...
If they'd like to get rid of them, they'd better get Sanders a new job. No reason to pay someone $180,000 a year to sit around.
Lol I don't think you understand how little government workers do, especially at higher paygrades
They don’t want another person in her place. They want a person just to fill the role. Remember the point is so they have fewer press briefings, they don’t want a better person
She does more than the president does, and that is scary to even think about.
@@Barnacules didn't expect to see you here, haven't seen you in a hot minute, I hope life is well 😏
I wonder if they could hire her to model as a beached Whale?
The bold and the beautiful is still running?! Holysh*t!
Yep 50+ year old women still have tvs
I was named after that show😂
My thoughts exactly hahahahahaha
Boy it must be a bitch for Denise Richards to have to drop down to that peg....
Wow.... I remember when that show came out. I had no idea it was still running.
Reporters in general need to stop trying to make themselves the news.
Exactly.
The biggest and most telling sign that the press briefings are becoming a circus... name 1 previous administration's press secretary. 1, just 1. Go.
Good point
Well it became a circus once trump took office
Under Obama was Gibbs, Jay Carney, and the one mentioned. Under GW there was Tony Snow, Dana Perino (sp?), the one mentioned and one or two more. Under Clinton there was George Stephanopoulos, and a few more I don't remember. But, I get your point. Some of the media has started to look like clowns during the press briefings. We all know it's nothing but BS coming from all of the press secretaries, but the over the top way the media has treated Trump's people is laughable.
They were getting circusy under Bush, when Are Fleischer would clash with Helen Thomas. But the press got absolutely craven under Obama. Go watch his very last press conference, it's like a whole room full of friends about to break out singing "We'll Meet Again".
Great point!
Everyone's talking about Spicer but I miss the short lived memes around "The Mooch".
Spicer spent more time hiding in shrubs and bushes than the Mooch spent as press secretary.
@@nyquillusdillwad9119
You're not wrong.
People comparing twitter to press briefings is a joke. Press briefings are a chance for people to asking questions regarding the current president and government, while twitter is just a one sided conversation where Trump can spew his bullshit without answering questions.
WHAT ! I could swear you’d already taken the week off, man time drags when you got no pds in your life.
5:30 How does Trump compare to Obama in giving adversarial interviews is a better question I think. Obama giving an interview to MSNBC or CNN I would compare with Trump giving an interview to Fox.
Twitter made for sharing post , posting memes and for important decisions that will affect America........ Wait one of these doesn't match with the others
MisaelDoesAnimation hahahahah
EU: It's the memes! The memes don't match!
who shares MEMEs there are laws against that now.
Here's a picture:
4:13 “It is definitely not hard to find clips of Sanders getting into tense back and forths with reporters.”
Josh Earnest briefings televised at 2%.
There may be fewer briefings, but the briefings are more widely spread around, resulting in more severe harassment of Sanders and her family. Also, I have never in my life seen such disrespect for a President and his White House. I was born in the term of Nixon, so I've been around for nine Presidents. There has NEVER been such hostility and violence projected onto a President, even Nixon didn't have the harassment that this President has. Go find out how many times Josh Earnest and his family were screamed out of a restaurant. Go find out how many times Michelle Obama had to face public promises/threats of rape. The public is a disgrace right now and the media is disgusting encourager of bad behavior.
April Prichard lol really? “Never been so much hostility”? I suppose assassinations and attempts during previous presidencies were regarded as civil disobedience by your definition? You clearly don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. If you actually paid attention during the previous administrations like you said you lived through, reading through your post again should reflect as nonsensical Drumpfster rhetoric.
Sarah Sanders? Treat others the way you want to be treated she is JUST as rude.
Not really lol
Any other president I would agree with Sanders that hearing from the president is better than the press secretary but the administration and trump never seem to be on the same page and it’s easy to see he wings most questions reporters asked by never getting into specifics and just using as many positive sounding general terms to try to “sell” his stance or vice versa in regard to him talking about anything he dislikes
Alan S Majority of people do not want to hear a president with lack of eloquence scream fake news everytime he’s e questioned just because he’s got no answers🤦🏻♂️
@The Modern Stoic So somehow it's a lie that he's incompetent and that he acts like a child? Where's the lie? Break it down for me? He SCREAMS TO THE WORLD that he's right and the "mean very very very nasty, I'm talking horrible people" are always lying.... Did you not grow up around little shits like this?
He never gets into specifics because he is just that ignorant.
Yes, let’s eliminate press briefings so the president can lie directly to the people and be unchallenged in any meaningful way.
Relax. He's getting rid of special briefings for the press only. He's not abolishing the free press.
I think social media is a great platform. However, it builds a barrier that people can formulate responses. Having press briefings forces people to speak from the heart and what their true intentions were
It wouldn't really matter if Sanders held less briefings, she manages to lie in every single sentence that comes out of her mouth
Theorist can’t tell if it’s the name or you comment that gives it out
@@ooops3632 Both the name and the comment are memes, don't look into them too much
There may or not be an overall decrease in the amount of communications, you can argue the point that Trump prefers one sided communication without having people being able to question him in depth (unless it's someone he knows wont ask though question). Like for example the 'interviews' on the lawn, he has in the past just pretended not to hear questions he didn't want to answer.
sources?, cause I fact checked that and you're vastly misrepresenting the situation.
Just by the simple fact that Donald Trump is on an active Twitter account wouldn't that make him the most accessible president in history alone? Statistics and facts are great things they can be twisted to mean anything you wish don't base your opinions upon them
Probably. The problem is that on Twitter Trump has complete control. He can pick and choose what he discusses completely at his own digression. He could choose to completely ignore any questions he doesn't like.
Admittedly though I really don't follow Trump enough to suggest that this is the case. As you say, the statistics can mean whatever you want them to mean.
Did you really just say not to base your opinions on facts?
Lazynub Except Obama also had an active twitter account and therefore (based on your example) was just as accessible to the public as Trump.
If we’re not going to base our opinions on facts and statistics what exactly are we meant to base them on? Feelings? Emotions? What we want to be true? That sound far less reliable.
As a Trump supporter, I think any and all ways of communicating to the public and being transparent is good. If it's true that she doesn't want to give briefings because it simply gets too heated, I think that's a garbage excuse and she should be replaced for a Press Secretary that can take the heat. Politics will always be heated regardless of intent. The more open discussion to the public there is, the more checks and balances there are in the system. It's always better to talk more.
Hey I'm Trump supporter too and I think is clear is a waste of time as it being prove most the reporters rather then ask questions is always around a hyperbolic issue. Like "did Trump collured with the Russians?" And from no it get worse "Trump was seen eating a ponchik does this prove with out doubt his has connection with Russian with pasteries"
I mean for god sakes just Google "Trump two scoops cnn' for peace sake.
I don't see the press briefings as an opportunity for openness and transparency, it's about accountability. The press briefings afford the opportunity for the White House and the President to be held accountable for their decisions and answer tough questions. They allow the people to have an on-record official response from the Administration regarding their policies, actions and positions. And I feel that's what they are trying to move away from. I think the media do get confrontational with Sarah Sanders, but that is down to them trying to get a straight and definitive answer out of her/ the administration, and many of the briefings became about deflecting, back-tracking and non-comital answers.
making major announcements over twitter just sounds dumb. what if somebody hacked into trump's twitter?
I would rather have boring question answer straight to the point briefings. No Acosta trying to play "journalist" just asking a question. Getting an answer. Maybe 1 or 2 follow up questions no more grandstanding
If Sanders would actually answer questions truthfully, the grandstanding wouldn't be neccessary. It starts with the WH
@@laurent1144 she answers everything to the best of her ability
Policy changes and changes in government positions should not be first announced on the same platform where you live tweet Game of Thrones.
Do something more official and professional. You can still put it on Twitter, but use formal channels first. This is one of the most developed countries in the world, not a comedian announcing their show that weekend.
I agree. I think the current Presidents use of Twitter for most things is unprofessional.
When you have an erratic president, who does decisions are done on the fly, this will be impossible for him.
This is such an outstanding example of why the PDS is such fantastic source for news. The thoroughness and amount of detail presented, as well as even-handedness, in a story that can seem terribly muddled. It was presented in an outstanding way. Very clear given the circumstances. Fantastic reporting. Kudos to Philip and his team.
@Based Haole
He was going with the info he had and corrected himself. Phil is true news
That trump tweet about sanders is very reasonable. I agree with it wholeheartedly, because she may not be the best press secretary but people insult her looks and I've never been ok with that. The problem though is that i dont believe trump means that tweet. I think he just sprays words and gets lucky sometimes. He wont follow up that tweet with a moral stance on the same topic at a rally in a month. He'll forget he said it, and later his reason for no press events is gonna be some random shit that suits him at the time. If he was consistant with this stance, and almost everything else he said, I'd like him a lot more. But the man just talks, he says what works at the moment, and I dont vibe with people like that, or get impressed by that.
asking the POTUS questions directly could work. The problem is Trump blocks reporters and says fake news to every question he doesn't like.
@Blank MS13 is an american gang. sure there are chapters springing up here and there but their roots are USA baby. so go away. find someone else to trump to.
They should keep them, not everyone wants or has access to social media… In more ways the president of whatever administration has to keep in contact with the Citizen, including through press briefings, is a good thing
Personally I see this as more of a way of the future. While press briefings still should occur, they probably do not need to occur as much as in past. As there are new methods of which to communicate with the press and the American people. Plus press members such as Jim Acosta grandstanding during briefings, has just reinforced the idea even more. Professionalism is key from reporters when asking questions to the President and his staff.
Thing is on twitter you can't force them to answer a question. In a press briefing you can.
It's not like anybody would believe him with the press briefings... So there's no point to hold them
@sPeCiAl fRiEnD like I said... If he told you the sky was blue... You wouldn't believe him. So it makes no difference at all if he holds them...
@sPeCiAl fRiEnD ahhh went over my head
Quick reaction: Live press conferences reveal much more. So often people say you can't hear tone or see expressions over social media (Tweets) or emails. No conferences says, to me, You Know Who and his sycophants love being to operate on the sly, in the dark, willy nilly, or put in whatever cliche works!
You know that you can say (or type) Trump, right? Nothing will happen to you.
Yes, thank you. I am glad my allusion to my feelings towards Trump did not go unnoticed.
@@ImTheBatchMan
As apathetic to American politics as I am, or to any politics really as a Canadian, I gotta say, Sanders' face just pisses me off
Same.
Press briefings, especially with our current POTUS, are critically important. Trump posting on Twitter is not the same as a conversation. Yes, folks can respond and Trump can even choose to reply to questions and statements. But Twitter gives the president the choice to do so. By choosing to lessen the amount of briefings, we’re denying the country the opportunity for dialogue at a time when it’s needed most.
Yet if it were a president you elected I'd bet you'd be fine if they stopped them...
@@MattDeezly Where in her statement did she say or imply anything like that?
Matt Deezly unfortunately Matt, I think you’ve misinterpreted my message. One of the reasons why I love watching Phil is that’s he’s all about discussion and dialogue. As a teacher, it’s something I practice daily with my students. If I was president I’d probably host Socratic Seminars bc I’m that bitch 😂😂
Getting rid of white house press briefings would be like having a phillyd show where you close the comment section; and at the end of your show you say "you've been philled in, and I don't care to hear from any of you".
Press briefings reflected the inability of the white house to answer difficult or revealing questions. The president standing outside ranting doesn't give that opportunity.
She did kinda get confronted at a restaurant for reason. Not to mention while there all talk about trump, i didn't know for almost a week that one the biggest agricultural disasters in us history was happening and there still having floods in the midwest. I only found out so soon because i came across a youtube video by accident that was speaking about it. So sure trump the president is big news but not the only news ever. So fk cnn, fox and every other media outlet.
Ooooh, we're doing rounded corners on graphics now?? Fancy...I like it :)
Man, i miss Sean Spicer, he was so meme worthy
He is getting rid of press briefings because he doesn't like to be challenged. Being questioned by informed people shines a light on how under informed the commander in chief is and it undermines his authority. Tweets about policy leave the onus of research on the individual american, you can believe it, not believe it or find out more information. A person with a job will have substantially less time to designate to research, be less experienced in finding information and resources so it will take longer (how many freedom of information act requests have you ever filled out?).
Watching Sarah and Sean can be both funny or something completely stupid. Usually a bunch of literal lies which were seemingly call out on spot. apparently Sarah hates hearing sound bites of trump saying something completely different or opposite of what she’s lie/ arguing about.
It's odd that people still buy his fake news thing when there's literally sound bites and or tweets to back up what the press were asking about. I feel bad for reporters in this white house I would feel bad for Sara, but she signed up for that shit show and now she has no way out.
Deny deny deny. That's their briefing. Even if they are shown direct contradictory evidence.
I actually feel sorry for Sean Spicer. He was a professional trying to do his job, but he was given the worst public speaking job in the world and instructed to lie about pretty much everything, and the moment he saw the opportunity, he bailed.
Calling standard media outlets fake news is incredibly alarming and akin to a dictator’s sentiment.
Oh yes what dictatorship have you lived under im willing to bet none
It’s called historical/political education...
@@strawberrymaple so a president that was elected by a republic calling major news networks that have lied in the past before fake news is akin to dictatorship? Lets look at a past dictator and see what he did
Hitler killed anyone who wrote bad stuff about him
Lets look at what trump is doing
Trump calling out a corrupt industry that has lied before
Sorry but there is a huge difference between these two.
The Danes A trait of an authoritarian government is calling independent news sources all ‘propaganda’ and ‘fake news’. He lies constantly about trivial things, it’s pathetic. Over half of his tweets have been proven to be fabricated or pure falsehoods. I voted for him and that was a huge mistake. Do you want a president who lies? Disgusting and immoral, no. Before he was president he said he supported abortion and now all of a sudden he is pro-life just to please Christian voters. He doesn’t want his SAT scores or college grades released, this implies he received poor marks and is unintelligent. So who are we more inclined to believe multiple news organizations that have decades of honorable and trusted coverage or someone whose educational background is questionable, with a spotty reputation and lies on a regular basis? Studies have shown that fake news primarily comes from Facebook, who is on Facebook? Old people, old people are more likely to spread fake news. You think that independent news sources are able to just go around lying? No. Yes, They have their biases (both right and left) but they can’t make up things and call them facts.
@@strawberrymaplesorry but you need some sources for your claims and no if news networks were not fake they would not have a kid sueing them for slander news sites have always been spreading lies we went to war with spain because of journalists also hiliary clition also said shes again gay marrige but now shes not people change im sorry that you think people cant change. Also every presiden scince jefferaon has lied there human not robotss that are always right. His sat score are his business no one elses
1)Twitter is a terrible place to tell people policy change.
2)By having the briefings aired to be viewed they can be broken down into clips showing the questions and answer do for the changes. Is it no and news media is going to spin however they want but tweets leave a lack of context for everything and shouldn’t be taken at face value
why? cuz establishment can't spin it? ffs man, THINK
Phil, come on. You are not seriously suggesting that Twitter is somehow a replacement to white house briefings that are mostly a two-way direction. Twitter is a one-way direction. Democracies are not a one-way direction. Thus the reason why the founding fathers, place check and balances on the presidency. What's next in your opinion? Well, you see he gives snap chat briefings every day, so why do we need white house briefings anymore. Come on Phil, you are better than that.
Thunder Garcia no because phill knows that we are allowed to do freedom of the press, while we are allowed to DENY it. If trump didn’t want to have press meetings, that’s his choice he isn’t forced to hold them, it’s just unprecedented to do so. So for your to sit he and act like he’s silencing democracy or some shit is beyond nuts, come on thunder your better than that
We are a republic. Not a democracy
@@ooops3632 facts. Also you get to see exactly what the president wants to say on Twitter. Not thru someone speaking on his behalf. Bet you didn't even watch briefing until Trump. Maybe instead find a real reason to be upset. Like how close he is with the Saudi's. While they are taking over our media including social media. The Saudi Government is investing billions on billions into our media. Including social media. Twitter, mainstream news, etc. Open your eyes to real issues
"Covers her rudely and inaccurately"
Yeah, if you consider inaccuracy to mean copying exactly what she said word for word.
Of course it's hiding. If you remove a staple avenue for the people to question their "elected" officials, you are limiting what little insight we have into the inner workings of the government. Where you support this administration or not, we can all agree that limited interaction between us and our government will set a dangerous trend for our future.
Press briefings should happen 1time every week on Fridays.
Why?
@@presidentfrog4683 Because they were programmed to request that.
Paul Karpowich it is good to have a reoccurring time slot. Friday, because it is the end of the OFFICIAL work week for the White House and some people in America. It offers a chance for reporters and the America people to charge the White House for what occurred that week.
sPeCiAl fRiEnD the specific day can vary. The most important part is just having the time to speak to them at least once a week
sPeCiAl fRiEnD yea, does need to be praised to an absurd degree smh 😒
How many interviews did Obama give to Fox? I honestly do not know.
Edit: Imo, I think most media outlets are not kind to Trump. Look at the hubbub over what CNN did with saying Trump mocks man with disabilities. There is a video debunking it. I also think the media is so unkind to Trump and he has better things to do than cater to them. If they actually were watchdogs then I would expect him to have more, but they haven’t been that for sometime.
More than 0
Idk I kind of understand why Trump would give less press briefings because he's right when he says the press doesn't cover his administration fairly. There is plenty to criticize him for but the press goes overboard and the guy can't take a dump without the press bashing him for it.
This is gonna blow up for no reason. If Trump didn’t say stupid shit like the sound from wind turbines causing cancer, then the MSM wouldn’t have a reason to criticize him as frequently as they do. His being on Twitter is precisely why he gets so much flak, bc he tries to stir the pot wayyyyy too much
I think we are witnessing the evolution of political correspondence in real-time. With direct access to elected officials, voluntarily going through a 3rd-party adds filters, biases, and latency. I think periodic briefings are still needed to enforce accountability, but it doesn't have to be through a 3rd-party.
The press briefings don't exist because POTUS can't give a state of the union 17 times a month.
We're very likely moving in that direction, but let's be real: Trump does not have more direct interaction with the public at large vs past administrations, his channel of choice - Twitter - is both itself a 3rd party (although it has to be said one hostile to Trump, which is an interesting twist), and still inclined to take the form of pronouncements from on high. We're seeing increased adoption of digital platforms as the means of interaction, but not yet all of the potential benefits.
I'm not one to watch the briefings, but it seems like a way to get out of more things. If he solely relies on Twitter for getting his information out, he can claim he was hacked, or it was a doctored/photoshopped screenshot. He didn't really say that, it's "fake news". Though it can be edited and with deep fakes a thing, hearing him physically say something, he has a harder time backing out of it. I am sure there are reporters out there just trying g to get a rise and a good sound bite, but that's not everyone. He can't come out and say an entire room of 50 or so people lied to push a narrative against him. Not to mention not everyone is on social media to see what the president is going to say.
Yeah a while back Trump wrote something on his Twitter account that was potentially illegal and later on he told media that somebody else "managing his account" wrote that message, not him!!!....Twitter is pretty much a oneway, one-sided way of communication where Trump can easily ignore any criticism, fact-checking etc..
@@ameyas7726 i don't remember such an incident. do you remember what he said
Until I saw this story I did not even notice.
When Trump posts something on Twitter, it doesn't hold him to the responsibility that he should respond to the criticisms he may receive. His silence when asked a question on twitter does not indicate that he has no answer, it just means he's busy, or there are too many questions being asked, or some other BS excuse. So yes, we need more press briefings. Also, Dana Perino's point about press briefings being a motivation for the White House to come to conclusions, is a really good point that most people would only think about if they were part of the process.
The lowering of press briefings when paired with the controversies coming out of the white house is a pretty damaging thing. When there is more news than ever before, even in regards to JUST the reshuffling of senior positions no scandals or unprecedented policies, there should be more press briefings to ask why so many people are going through revolving doors at the countries most senior positions.
Oh please.. calm down.
TIL it's 'rude' to press someone about facts when they lie to your face.
Facts like the Russian conspiracy theory for 2 years straight?
I think the briefings need to continue, period. It doesn't matter who is in the oval office. Tweets do not allow for probing and conversation and are therefore not an effective way to communicate with the American public. (In fact, they allow for you to hide behind hyperbole and exaggeration without being directly checked). Further, I think it is always good to hear from both the president as well as someone else on the president's team about policy, affairs, etc. because it forces everyone to be on the same page and be more definite with their answers.
@Based Haole To be fair, any noteworthy event makes media company money. Just think about the constant coverage of the Notre Dame Cathedral on Sunday, that must have made a lot of money too. Further, no matter your political views, news media covering news is there job. If there was no demand for such an act, then why would they do it. Those are just my thoughts, I would be happy to continue a conversation on this if you would please.
Anyone commenting regarding left media bias
Harsh questions like,
"you promised to release your tax return, not to cut medicaid, mexico pays for the wall, (I'm sure there us a long list of examples)"
Regarding why the president felt like he needed to lie about all the weird hyperbolic obviously stupid and misleading comments regarding an insanely ridiculous amount of petty and stupid things. For example "I said Tim (Cook) Apple"
But hey asking a simple question like why did you do something, is in your eyes Harsh...
Please tell me more about how wet water, bigly and all the other nonsense sentence he constructs makes sense to you. I'm surprised you people can't all agree that: that man has some type of problem speaking English.
Frankly shocked how people can in good conscience say they think he is mentally stable. (His staff has been playing keep away with him to save your continuously crumbling government)
you want mexico to pay for the wall ? or are you just being disingenuous?
@@MattieK09
Examples of the "Harsh" questions being asked that I've seen during press briefings. Consisting mostly
Why did the president do, say, or tweet this?
What did the president Mean when he ^
Why did the president go back on his word on this (EA he will take responsibility for shutdown)
You understand that for example Elon Musk and his tweeter is held to a higher standard then your president. He is banned from tweeting random things, that aren't approved by a committee and he isn't the leader of your country.
That directors and even minimum wage salary men have to be more careful with their social media comments than your president?
I'll be blunt. I don't think that Trump, or anyone else who do these interviews, go into them prepared enough to be giving briefings but I also believe that news organization are now more about the amount of views they can bring in and they tend to treat these briefings as opportunities to create a scene to get those views. Both sides are simply not functioning as they should be when it comes to these briefings so I feel like it is better if they don't do them at all and instead respond to people on Social Media (which I do NOT even have accounts for) as this is where most people get their info. If someone tries to make a play for attention, you can simply ignore them which is near impossible when dozens of people are screaming over each other for attention.
Huckle Sarah just lies anyway.
I support Sarah Sanders on this. I wouldn't want to defend Trumps words/actions either and would have less briefings.
What?? You're defending her because she has to lie for a liar? Why doesn't she just...oh IDK....STOP LYING???? She's basically Trumps propagandist at this point and nobody is forcing her to do this. When Trump is out of office she's never going to find serious work or be taken seriously ever again she's voluntarily stained herself by not only being in his presence but acting as the face of his dishonesty. Why should anyone sympathize with her???
@@ravivdlin9412 thats her job. To be a scapegoat for the president's words. She says what she is told.
@@superbob24 So that somehow excuses her from volunteering to serve as a propagandist? She doesn't even hesitate to spew his lies anymore. She's in on this dude and she should be called out for being a tool of the administration not looked at as some helpless pawn being forced into this. I don't understand how you can pretend like she isn't choosing to spread lies!
@The Modern Stoic lol keep clinging onto that sinking ship you clueless fool
@The Modern Stoic lol let go of the dark side? Jeez you must have a high opinion of yourself. I hope you wake up and are capable of shaking off your fanatic devotion to a corrupt inept politician that lies directly to your face. I feel sorry for people like you that still support this administration.
My 2 cents are ..... I see a lot of the press being really disrespectful to her. So it’s not that she’s weak it’s just why put up with it? Why show when you can hear it. Don’t like it then vote differently next election. Curious on what the president is saying check Twitter.
This administration wants to be as transparent as clay.
Right that's why Trump gives far more impromptu front lawn interviews than any president in history. But you think scripted television appearances are more "transparent". That's cute.
@@googlefearsaltmedia218 Do I? I'm not sure how you could have arrived at that from what I said. Aside from that, what exactly is actually transparent in his impromptu or off-the-cuff remarks on the lawn or in twitter? It' may be babble from his head but provides zero transparency to anything of substance and is often even made up in the moment. Wind Turbines cause cancer is a rather good example of that.
i think its due to a decline in the quality of journalism. reporters are just trying to be celebrities instead of asking real questions. not just talking about grand standing but i've watched them ask the same question like 10 different ways in same briefing hoping for a gotcha. then there's the grandstanding and jim. jim jim jim
When dealing with these two groups ( Trump Admin/Mainstream Media ) its hard to say whos right, because they are both kinda awful. I do think that the press is trying to drum ratings, but it's also a fact that the press secretary has been rightfully called out multiple times. Honestly I think I would prefer that the press briefings continue, seeing how they are one of the biggest forms of direct pushback this admin gets, even if it is for crooked reasons.
@Rah Rah Rasputin It's exactly as bad. They always say how the media holds the government accountable, but who holds the media accountable to the truth and to their viewers? The people. These people voted with their wallets and with their time and MSM ratings slumped.
All true. Mind you - looking at the UK press.....the US isn't as bad as it could be!
@Rah Rah Rasputin When Trump says "fake news" its because the piece wasn't fawning priase on him and damaged his fragile ego. The media sucks because they are suppose hold power accountable, instead what they do is suck up to power, or attack it for the worst possible and bull**** reasons (i.e russiagate).The media IS as bad as he says, just not FOR the reasons he says.
@@clarissagafoor5222 When two things are steaming balls of s***, it doesn't matter which is worse. It's still more than anyone should have to stomach
@@arcadeus5546 I agree. The media is exactly as bad as Trump insists, just not for the reasons he says.
The way we communicate and get news is changing. I'm looking forward to a day when congressman can stay in their home districts while representing their constituents.
The news is 100% grandstanding, their job is to get the viewers. Second to that would be sharing news and/or their opinions. Main reason I don't watch any mainstream news source.

Hey did u see whats happening in Colorado?
“We did not wish to have one person hold all of the schools in the front range of the whole state hostage”
Sucks that they felt the need to, though. It sets precedent for more terror threats like this in the future, and the press around it can only inflame that.
@@ImTheBatchMan so keep it quiet?
I don't think any other western democracy holds regular televised press briefings with a press secretary.
Not televising them is fine. But they should still occur. You must have missed that convenient bar graph showing that only 2% of Obama's press secretary were televised.
@@cameronschmit6472 Maybe not televising them is the solution. The press can ask questions without feeling the need to perform for the cameras.
@@ImTheBatchMan that's how it's been with every other president. And the press is not "performing" when they catch Sarah Sanders or Trump spouting off fake numbers or contradicting themselves
Yeah, and no other western democracy has gone to the moon or doesn't use the metric system. Theres a reason we are the best, cuz we do the things others won't
Sounds to me like Sarah Sanders is tired of being made fun of for her inaccuracies
She's a pretty major snowflake about it yeah.
has anyone else noticed comments being 'fucky' in the last couple days? missing thumb totals yesterday on all comments made that day, but older comments still having them. Today when i try to reply to comments 50% of them say "failed to post" then i refresh and the comment is gone. Normal comments are disappearing not troll comments.
I see that too. Of course are the comments I want to reply to.
Is that Melissa McCarthy’s photo in the thumbnail 👀
I'm sorry but I have never seen members of the press treat any press secretaries the way that they have Trump's if anyone who claims otherwise it's just being dishonest
I agree with that.
That's because you just haven't seen many others because they weren't televised.
@@TeknoSquirrel I have seen televised press briefs since at least Clinton was in office and I have never seen members of the press be as rude as they are to the current Administration.
You probably also haven't seen administrations lie so brashly and obviously.
DISCLAIMER: Canadian, not American, but most politicians used to dance around their lies, though their overall intentions don't seem to have changed. Now they are just bold-faced about it, and close to no one is holding them to account, so I damn well respect the ones who do so based on evidence. And if you think it's disrespectful to ask questions about lying politicians, then I wonder if you've read the American Constitution...
yes i'm disgusted by the way reporters have acted like acosta, we have social media now we don't really need frequent press briefings, why would we when i hear from trump way more than anyone wants to
The only fair and balanced place left to get informed. Thanks for all you do. Enjoy your "vacation".
Well of course they don't want to be asked questions, i mean do you know how hard it is to come up with that many lies?
The lies are easy to come up. Remembering all of them so you dont expose yourself, that's what separate men from politicians.
God I remember this one thing from the newsroom... "the news is biased to the truth"...
That was such a good show particularly the first season. It was left leaning but there was a lot of BS that both parties pull called out on that show.
To this day i still laugh every time i see Trump's face as the president lmao. Theres no perfect place in the world but man the US have been a great comedy show recently.
How when he's helping out the country ur not even from hear it sounds like.
@@robertsalley1187 Tell you remaining brain cells that im sorry for their lost.
@@robertsalley1187 Oh no we're not from the US. I'm just saying you're literally the laughing stock of the world. And Ukraine just elected a comedian to run their country in a time of war and crisis, but there's no way that guy can steal Trump's thunder. All we ask is that you contain the craziness across the pacific and don't fuck with NATO.
Its balanced as it is. Less press briefings, because social media. Its a trend moe than a conscious effort. Its why we use a phone more for texting than talking. Doesn't meant we're hiding from people. Its just more convenient. Also, I'm sick of the circus. I've had enough of Sanders trying to play word games to cover for Trump and then be a sacrificial lamb. And at the same time I've had enough of Jim Acosta pretending he's a hotshot lawyer like its a George Clooney parody.
In this day and age, controlling the narrative is the only choice.
How could you forget then Sean Spicer clip of the covfefe controversy??? 😂🤣🤣
I think it may be more because the staff doesn't want trump in front of cameras answering non scripted questions. Every time it has happened they've had to clean up his messes or hes come off as a colossal asshole. The one from several months ago is a great example, because, he was either telling them to shut up, that he didn't like them or because they were being rude by asking him a question (One that was no rude, but instead was an important one he didnt want to answer). That's not a president. That's a spoiled businessman in a role he shouldn't be in, so its understandable why there are fewer press meetings. There are far less messes, misspoken words and fewer lies down the road when he claims he never said something and its fake news... even when its a live recording.
Or the old man is becoming senile, but then again memory loss is not a symptom so fake news right? Right?
What's the point of a press secretary if they're afraid of the press?
I am on the left and absolutely despise Donald Trump, but I don't blame him whatsoever for this. The media in general has been very unfair and unprincipled to him. (Except for his Fox news cheerleading squad.)
I've said all along that we need to handle this like responsible adults. When Trump does something monstrously stupid, report on it. When Trump feeds fish, don't edit the video to make him look like an idiot. He's perfectly capable of doing that himself!
I love how you try to be unbiased in a way that your sentence isnt just bashing trump but its so hilarious that the entire message is a bash. For example " not to defend trump since he has the most problems ive seen of any president ever, but he really didnt mean it that way. Idiotic
@@joshmullins1087 Where did I say I was unbiased? I don't like Trump. I think he's a shitty president, and a moron in most areas. (He plays the media like s fiddle, I'll give him that.)
I just ask that the left be principled in their opposition of him. Lying changes no minds and hurts America as a whole.
overall, I think this is a lack of transparency, I believe that in the past, press briefings have provided a way to directly question the press secretary, which often reveals conflicting statements and inaccuracy (which can be negative as well). But answering through twitter slows this exchange and allows people to make more rehearsed, vetted and obscure answers to some of the important questions (even though it can happen in a live press briefing but you can read a lot more into a person). Plus you are removing tonality and expressions the president might use when expressing some of these statements. It can also be someone else making these statements as well instead of the president. (which i know he might just as easily read them from a prompter, during a physical statement) I just think that just like in all other social by-products that have been affected by social media like people who have anxiety and issues with public engagement and speaking due to the disconnection with physically speaking with people, that this could also lead to a similar avenue.
I also am the kind of person who prefers to look a person in the eye when I am speaking to them, watching their body language and being able to judge their tone and words as they say them. Otherwise I feel like I am just getting a more robotic release of information that is dripped through this social pipeline.
Have you ever actually met an SS? Sarah Sanders. Sean Spicer. Sarah Silverman. I've only met one ever.
Schutzstaffel?
Of course its limiting accessibility! I dont care if it is grandstanding, if you cant take hard questions you should not be in office
Then get on Twitter and follow him. Then ask him the "hard questions" yourself.
MSM had made it's own bed and now must sleep in it.
@@NominalPhoenix There's still an accountability issue. Trump can ignore questions posted on Twitter and the person asking the question will never know why. At least with press conferences, reporters can get a sense of what is going on in the White House based on the answers they receive or the reactions they get from the President or Press Secretary if answers are not provided.
@@NominalPhoenix I do follow him. He never answers my questions.
@@timothywalsh9637 Accountable for what? Russian collusion? Piss gate? Stormy Daniels? Any of the known lies that the msm have peddled ad-nausium without retraction or apology?
Who in there right mind is going anywhere near msm? The interactions between Sanders and the press get more coverage than anything that is actually said not to mention that every tweet is covered by the msm and scrutinized.
The people know what he's doing. He is accountable to the people. Not the msm.
Press briefing are vital for the accountability and questioning inherent to them. If it was only about announcements and the words the president wants to say - no more no less - then sure, Twitter is fine. But that is pure bias and half of anything. He doesn't have to answer questions or give reasons. He can even ignore any and all opinions or comments that he wants to. THAT is the point of press briefings and why they are vital.
I agree that it does force the White House to answer questions from more perspectives, but let's face it, large media organizations have a certain thinking that isn't a representation of all Americans. But like I said, I agree. Twitter is not a replacement because it is filled with fan or hate mail. The president isn't answering questions that are well constructed from professional journalists. The problem I have is that the organizations have become political, which has caused the professional journalists to ask media esc questions.
I don't know what would be the answer, but getting rid of Press Briefings without an alternative like the Trump administration has seems to only mean less accountability from the president. I suppose if voters work harder to become informed it might re-balance things though.
Cornbread IsBetterThanPizza I agree completely that they aren’t the best because of media bias. There is far far too much bias in the organisations that go to them. The trump administration is certainly doing their best in feeding that bias by trying to ban the biased media that is biased against them and, when that doesn’t work, backing towards a medium that removes all but their own select points of view that they agree with.
There isn’t an alternative that anyone can seem to find yet, but until it is found I think that everyone can agree that the press briefings must continue.
The difference between press briefings and twitter is that journalists can ask for clarifications and questions during a briefing. Trump uses Twitter as a megaphone without having to answer to any further questions. And he can reach his followers directly without any kind of fact check, which then makes it easier to dismiss later fact checks.
Or Trump can speak directly to the public without his message being filtered by "journalists"
Because as we all know journalist always report the news fairly and in an unbiassed way :p
@@MattieK09 As carpe diem already said, "Trump uses Twitter as a megaphone without having to answer to any further questions."
@@xXLostSymbolXx You're right I can't wait to hear such hard hitting questions about Tim "apple"
@@SamDePrez I never said that, but every statement especially by a high public official should be looked at skeptically. And I'm not even talking about their reporting but questions that Trump or Sarah Huckabee Sanders could directly respond too. And by almost all metrics Trump lies more than any politician or journalist.
Its easier to have long conversations where you flesh out more details and clarify details in person then through texting an audience. Not to mention its less of a bubble since reporters can challenge policies directly.
A reporter’s job isn’t to challenge policy. It is to report on it. If a reporter wants to “challenge policy” let them run for office. Because of inherent biases reporters will only “challenge” what they dislike or what they think will make themselves more prominent.
Reporter: one who reports. What you do is right there in the name of the job: report. Nothing about “challenging” politicians or policy in there.
i think it was one of your videos that mentioned that due to the less time available to each journalist they tend to push harder to make the most impact. I can see how that can lead to the impression of the media coming across as more aggressive yeh?
I don't think he's hiding, I think he really just doesn't like the media...
It doesn't matter if he hates the media, that's not how this works.
Andrew Ace ... it is part of his job description. If he doesn’t like it he can quit. Trump’s problem is the media doesn’t shower him with praise and dares to actually critique his lack of familiarity with the Constitution ... and that he took an oath to abide by and defend it?
@@mscloudherder329 Not sure why you're telling this to me. I'm only explaining why he does it, not justifying or denouncing it.

It's healthy to have an open discussion especially towards the people we placed in power. Be it through social media or in person, there needs to be open dialogue for the public to see. Only a one-way Twitter post isn't the dialogue we need. Sure you get information, but what else? Questions aren't answered right away if at all, and we're left wondering until either another post comes out or they may even provide the answer privately which is worse as then it leaves the legitimacy questionable. Sure there can be bad eggs on both sides, but to completely erase this would be terrible.
I can't wait to be Philled daddy ;)
I hope yellowstone pops

@@Ryoka242 the press are pissed because they make less money now. Thats what this whole thing is about. And i dont doubt he cares. He already hates the media why would he give them his time.
Trump is way less likely to tell the truth when he talks to the press, instead dumping his divisive, accusing garbage on the American public.
@@namorockj770 it has nothing to do with Money. CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, and CBS have all had their ratings decline over the past decade. It has to do with the purpose of the media. Its why the News Media has been considered the Fourth Estate for centuries.
Why not do live press briefings and be able to pull questions from the live audience along side the journalists? I feel like that would be pretty future oriented and might get people more involved honestly. Should the format be changed? Sure. Should press briefings be cancelled all together? No.
Because certain questions are not allowed to be asked.
