SHAME White House Press Corps...SHAME!

[thejoker123]

It's pretty fucking sad when Shep Smith of Fox FUCKING News asked a tougher question today than any of you did.

1. I'm sick of this crapping all over the press

It's cheap and lazy. They asked plenty of good questions. They are taking shit 24/7. Their role is not to prop up Trump's ego or yours.

This is precisely the kind of attitude that people use to dismiss any and all information they find inconvenient.

2. Well said...agree 1000%

We need to keep that message up!

[JHan]

6. True, sometimes I have to check myself.

[thejoker123]

10. Wow. That was the press speaking truth to power?

[BainsBane]

14. What did you want them to ask that they didn't?

What do you think their job is? You're the one running around the site talking about how great Trump did at the news conference. Is that what you wanted them and to say?

[thejoker123]

15. Pretty sure I explained that clearly in my post.

[BainsBane]

18. No, you didn't

You gave a bumper sticker slogan about truth to power. What questions did you think they should have asked? You criticize but say nothing of substance.

[thejoker123]

22. Lol, like how about asking...

...what Shep asks in this video!?

[blue neen]

20. Please be specific.

Thank you.

[thejoker123]

23. How about what Shep asks?????

[blue neen]

24. Post your own thoughts about what the press should have asked.

You've criticized them repeatedly here today. Obviously, you must have some specific questions in mind.

[BainsBane]

25. They did ask about that

About the hacking of the DNC emails and his campaign's contacts with the Russians. That is what Smith is taking about: the way Trump refused to answer the questions asked.

27. +1. Thectalking heads spin. Those reporters are in the trenches.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

28. Well written. +1

3. I thought the press totally sucked

I just watched the entire presser. Don't they think their questions out before they ask them? And why so many questions about the press? They are deporting mothers and domestic abuse victims, the Russians and North Koreans are launching new ICBMs, the President legitimized Flynn's treason, and all CNN wants to talk about FAKE NEWS. I have real news for CNN, that's what Trump WANTED them to ask.

I'm tired of CNN fighting with him. They should go out and dig up his dirt, not try to see how many times they can make him say fake news.

One reason we have Trump is we don't have the professional press anymore. The press made this President and they will keep him going at this rate.

5. It has been stated the press had to have questions screened in advance.

That is a common ploy of those who want to control how the pressers work.
I used to think such games were rumors, but given these days....

[thejoker123]

11. You're kidding right?

Any of them could have asked ANY question they wanted to.

[BainsBane]

26. They accomplish that by calling on friendly outlets

Like Christian Broadcasting and Breitbart. Today he actually called on some respectable news outlets, and they asked the very questions the OP insists they didn't.

[BainsBane]

16. They asked about the Russians

Flynn, and they asked about immigration and DACA. They also asked about the spy ship.

They didn't know the pres was giving a press conference. They were told he was there to introduce the labor secretary.

CNN was trying to get him to deal with the contradiction between calling the reports about Flynn and ties to Russians fake news while complaining about leaks. The point was to expose Trump's dishonestly about Flynn.

You say you watched it but managed to miss nearly everything.

4. How's about NOT showing up

But set up outside WH
With a live feed of the event on screen
With a play by play
Going on
Rebuttals
Whole inner
MORE would watch this than
Actual presser

7. Apparently, that's what you believe.

12. Yes, what is your point?

[blue neen]

13. Actually, what is your point?

We're capable of discerning your opinion from your first thread on the subject today. What is the point of posting it repeatedly?

[thejoker123]

17. Do you have a point? If so, express it.

[blue neen]

19. I did.

"We're capable of discerning your opinion from your first thread on the subject today."

8. Wow!

We are indeed living in bizzaro times when a Fox news commentator sounds sane. Sheperd Smith does seem to get it right sometimes. Amazing....

[dalton99a]

9. Heck, the way Trump runs his mouth, just show it unedited to the world.

[logosoco]

21. Frankly, I am not going to listen to anything "the president" says about the press.

His constant ranting about it is getting old and it's a ploy only an administration that doesn't know wtf it is doing will use.

Have you see the list of people "the president" follows himself on Twitter? Very biased and slanted. Nothing of real substance as far as journalism goes.

If they are screening questions, there is never going to be any thing of meaning asked or answered.

29. A lot of people were happy with

slavery, the Inquisition, the plague (those who survived and made money off it), the Mongol invasions, and many other unpleasant things.
SO FUCKING WHAT?!

[mikelewis]

30. Well... that's something there, now, ain't it... ole Shep was all in a tizzy...

and what the hell did he mean by it's inconsequential... was he speaking in tongues?
