Trump: I told Sanders to stop briefings because press covers her 'rudely'
Source: The Hill
President Trump on Tuesday said he directed White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders to stop holding regular briefings, citing unfair treatment by the news media.
The reason Sarah Sanders does not go to the podium much anymore is that the press covers her so rudely & inaccurately, in particular certain members of the press, Trump tweeted. I told her not to bother, the word gets out anyway!
The White House has come under fire from media organizations for the lack of regular press briefings. Sanders has yet to hold a formal briefing in 2019 and the last one took place on Dec. 18, the longest stretch without a briefing during the Trump presidency.
Trump appeared to be reacting to a Fox News interview by White House spokesman Hogan Gidley, who defended Sanders handling of the press corps.

(22,118 posts)would have been a better job title since none of us or the legitimate press corps couldn't get the truth out of the rump administration when asked any questions. Over 8000 lies and still counting (per Wash. Post)...
Good. Cowards are getting caught too many times w/ their pants down around their ankles/lies and frankly, the American public is getting tired of the ongoing lies, of the idiotic games, and the definitely non presidential behavior of the worst president EVER.
