BY CHRIS MILLS RODRIGO - 09/23/18 07:01 AM EDT
Former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said "elite media" with whom he interacted while President Trump's press secretary with have "a personal animus" towards the president and those affiliated with him.
Spicer told host John Catsimatidis in an interview airing Sunday on AM 970 in New York that the press' distaste for conservatives is easy to see.
"They dont like conservatives in general," he said.
"I really dont think they like this president. And it shows every single day.
Spicer explained while "there are a lot of really good reporters out there," the White House press corps in particular are the problem.
Spicer also dished the "personal animus" claim to Saturday Night Live, saying that their skits are no longer funny, but more focused on attacking people.

If he could he would put them in real cages. If he can blithely throw children into cages, imagine his glee if he could cage reporters.

(16,254 posts)Open your eyes, Sean. The media is finally getting around to listening to the masses.
As for the WH Press Corps, I can't blame them. They gather to listen to Sarah and she doesn't say anything of substance, so they have wasted their time waiting for her to show and then lying to them. Does she ever answer any questions? I sure haven't heard her do so.
She needs to go.

(621 posts)An actual law had to be passed for teachers to make $18,500 a YEAR in NJ, and apparently were one of the highest paid in the nation. I was teaching then, and Im not that old! It wasnt the dark ages. I still have my kid in the same school district. Hes getting in one month what was once my yearly salary (and by comparison, he makes in 3 months what I made in a year when I retired due to disability after 26 years of teaching) to be a lying bullhorn. Its a disgrace. Its not politics. Its money laundering.

(621 posts)They did know, but they never seemed to want to say it. Im sorry, but most of his background was common knowledge in NY, NJ, PA, but it never seemed to come up. They used him for ratings. Reality TV. And now were all stuck in The Truman Show rated XXX.

(63,221 posts)Could it have anything to do with the fact that he is constantly calling them the "fake news" and stirring up hatred among his base against them. Or maybe the fact that he lies with regularity and has done his best to divide this country, alienate our allies, demonize minorities, disrespect women and vilify liberals?
You don't work in the White House any more, you can stop fellating him now.

(4,429 posts)He came out of a corrupt White House - all he had to do was to speak (for once) with honor and integrity.
Instead, his most salient political moments will remember him as a liar.
