Newt Just Suggested That the Daily Briefings be Given Sans the Press Corps

in other words, Sean or Sarah would come out and give an update regarding what is happening with the Administration, only without the reporters. Put it on Facebook, YouTube, C-SPAN and any other network that wants to air it.
Given the hysteria of the White House Press Corps, I think it's a good idea. Thoughts?

That pussy that obama had wouldn't last one day in a hostile environment such as this.
The premise that the two are equivalent is absurd.

And when they are pushing propaganda and deflecting when he/she can't, then they will get more push back.
And it was well known that the Press Corps, and the Obama administration had a lot of conflict due to the lack of transparency. Yet, people seem to he ignoring that, to paint them as the enemy, to justify a less transparent process.
It's frustrating to see people who were justifiably upset about actions of the previous administration, to turn around and support this administration taking the same things a step further.
No better than the leftists.

They just need someone that is quicker thinking than Spicer and doesn't seem afraid to answer a questions.

Well it would help them keep their lies straight without fear of contradicting one another. Of course, when Trump comes out the following day and completely contradicts whatever his spokespeople said the day before, it's the same difference. It does save his spokespeople some embarrassment though of having to explain the pivots (lies).

They're not questions.
They're 90-second-long political lectures, followed by one-sentence accusations, succeeded by three additional recriminations.

Does press still exist

It isn't the Press anymore and you know it. It's a hostile group of uncouth bastards and bitches hell bent to play gotcha and make a name for themselves, and bring down the administration.
Kick their asses to the curb.

Sure it's been their goal to completely control the message from the beginning. No accountability or oversight

The job is damn near impossible right now.

Not honest answers it is mainly "alternative facts" and spin.

Besides I thought we are all about the "alpha" mentality? Running away from some journalists and their questioning is quote the opposite of alpha.
Lots of acting though, then running away when it gets tough.

They're the snowflakes in this scenario, no doubt. Blaming the press because they can't get their house in order. Sad!
