A producer for the WH briefings?

It was just mentioned on MSNBC that the WH is considering hiring a producer for the press briefings. That has to be a joke. It is such a sorry state that I can't be sure.
Ok, lets make it simple. Before a press briefing, use a disclaimer. Something like "any answers may or may not have a basis in fact". Maybe "Incidents or accounts of incidents are not held to be based in reality". I am sure proper disclaimers could be written to cover not only the press briefings but every time the acting president opens his mouth. It could be considered a public service announcement.

that the government can be transformed into a reality show. Meanwhile Congress is busy trying to drown it in a bathtub.

3. But the MSM would report every syllable as fact

And then spend the ensuing weeks investigating, reporting and eventually debunking it.

While, in the meantime, the WH launches another barrage of fake news bones for the dog to chew on.

This is apparently what many DU'ers want to accept as honest reporting by real journalists. SMH.

That could be why he wants to do it once every two weeks- a scripted spectacle? Ugh. Nope.
