I'm sure we have a bunch of C-141s sitting around doing nothing, pile them all in one. I caught a hop on one once from Japan to the Philippines, most miserable flight ever.

Had Obama done the same thing, would the media be this outraged??

Or better yet, would this board have defended Jug Ears as much as they have defended Trump for blowing off the media??

Now they have to actually work . They are all pissed that they have to actually walk in an airport and wait in line like the rest of us . They may even have to sit by a normal person . They were so used to being one of the clan that they're not sure how to work except to continue discrediting Trump's agenda . Why should they continue receiving the perks.

Obama wanted them around so he could sexually harass them by showing them his erection.

JEars actually started this back in 2010. I'll try to find the link I looked at earlier. Yes, the press wasn't too happy about it either.

Here ya go:

quote:

WASHINGTON — The news media have found a new area of coverage ripe for cost-cutting: the president of the United States.

For decades it was a given that whenever the president traveled, a charter plane packed with members of the press would travel with him. But the press flights have been sharply curtailed in recent months, a victim of cost-cutting by news organizations that are struggling to stay profitable.

As a result, fewer reporters are tagging along with President Obama and his aides, limiting the number of news sources at a time when Americans are acutely interested in White House policies and personalities.

“The sole reason is money,” said Edwin Chen, the senior White House correspondent for Bloomberg News and the president of the White House Correspondents’ Association, who called the cutbacks alarming.

There's no point in trying to talk sense to them, they don't want to hear it. They're just like the Obamabots they used to make fun of and they don't even realize it.


This is false. Is the press aware of the agenda for the foreign trip? If so, they can arrange their own travel. Things are changing. Time to suck it up.

Happened the other day when Spicer 1st announced the trip (and said today he would have further details). It was funny, VERY funny to see the reactions all around the room.

One of those smug elitists even seriously asked along the lines of "doesn't he want us along to ensure we cover it properly?" Sean almost laughed out loud but followed with something like, "confidence in that you can do that without the Secty. taking you along on his plane."

Wait, if tillerson is traveling without press, does the media have any way to cover the events on their own? I would imagine that they would have to obtain security clearance to actually cover the meetings, even if they had the agenda in hand.

Is this effectively leaving the press out or can they still get close enough to cover the events? I'm genuinely curious.
