After 50+ Coronavirus Press Conferences Trump Asks: Why Have Daily Press Conferences for ‘Lamestream’ Media?

19

The enemy press is not only bias and corrupt, but they are incredibly dangerous as well. They’re treatment of President Trump has been nothing short of despicable. President Trump should address the nation with daily updates about the COVID-19 pandemic, but should no longer speak to the MSM. The only downside to this decision is that we will lose the entertainment value of the POTUS degrading these vicious propagandists at the press briefings. Safety is more important than entertainment.

After 50+ Coronavirus Press Conferences Trump Asks: Why Have Daily Press Conferences for ‘Lamestream’ Media?

By Breitbart, April 26, 2020

President Donald Trump did not hold a daily press conference Saturday, expressing his frustration with the process.

The White House has held at least 50 press conferences with the Coronavirus Task Force in the past two months, according to the White House Youtube channel.

“What is the purpose of having White House News Conferences when the Lamestream Media asks nothing but hostile questions, & then refuses to report the truth or facts accurately,” Trump wrote on Twitter.

The daily press briefings have been a fixture of the Trump White House for the last few weeks during the coronavirus pandemic, even during the weekends.

Despite some heated exchanges with White House reporters in the press briefing room, Trump’s daily press conferences drew record ratings to cable news channels, especially Fox News. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo continues having daily press conferences that are also aired live on cable news.

But after the media went wild over President Trump’s question to the doctors about injecting disinfectants or ultraviolet light into the body to fight coronavirus, the president appeared tired of giving the media record access.

“They get record ratings, and the American people get nothing but Fake News,” Trump wrote. “Not worth the time and effort!”

It is unclear whether Trump is ending the briefings altogether, or just for the weekend.

White House officials are reportedly reconsidering the value of the briefings and the president’s appearance at the podium.

Trump continued criticizing the media on Saturday, including the false claim that he called the coronavirus pandemic a “hoax.”

“Who would say such a thing? I said that the Do-Nothing Democrats, together with their Mainstream Media partners, are the Hoax,” Trump wrote. “They have been called out and embarrassed on this, even admitting they were wrong, but continue to spread the lie!”

Intravenous UV treatment is a thing.

WHY? Because you are fighting for re-election and people need the truth. Do NOT cede to the left and let them dominate with lies. Consider taking NO questions and just give a briefing but do NOT exist the stage and hand over the mic to the left. Consider making them stand and treat them like children with an “X” to stand on. The rules of engagement have changed in this war here. Be there and fight back! Do it for the PEOPLE, forget the media!

Do NOT allow the left to write the truth unconfronted. We don’t want to become like China where the media speaks for the people headed by the left. Push back must continue to happen! China has people believing their government run media or else. We do NOT this new abnormal to be the new normal, We are at war domestically and with China! Don’t let them portray you as a Hoover!

It is not the time to appease and retreat with a white surrender flag. It is the time to dig in more. We can not let the LEFT dominate the media and continue to brain wash people with garbage and wild conspiracy crap against the truth.

Every day Trump needs to do a “fireside chat” in addition to rallies.
Trump has to push through his agenda. It’s not just about the viris.
Have various selected guests reinforce his agenda. He should consider someone like Candice Owens and other strong people come on as guests. You can’t let the LEFT dominate the news! This is a propaganda WAR! When Trump speaks the truth his numbers go UP!

That’s a cracker jack idea! I could go for that. Other agenda concerns could viral besides C19. He could have celebrity guests like Gary Sinise, James Wood, John Voight, Kanye West to counter Liberal Hollywood. Real experts in their fields from outside of government could explain the pros and cons of various concerns. Maybe even have Michael Moore talk about his epiphany that alternative power sources are not as Earth friendly as he once thought.

The liberal media is effective – We need cross over votes.

60% of Democrats Blame Trump More Than China for Coronavirus
4/20/20
…..
Note this also –

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 42% of all Likely U.S. Voters agree with U.S. Senator Chris Murphy’s recent statement: “The reason that we’re in the crisis that we are today is not because of anything that China did, is not because of anything the [World Health Organization] did. It’s because of what [President Trump] did.”
Forty-seven percent (47%) disagree with the Connecticut Democrat.
Eleven percent (11%) are undecided.
(To see survey question wording, go to the link.)

I have never seen such hostility toward a president. Arguing, interrupting, insisting upon speaking, and generally rude beyond belief. Something never done or allowed in the past.

Rules should be posted: one question at most, followup allowed at the discretion of the president. Rudeness means no longer allowed to ask questions. Shouting out and interrupting means you may not be allowed in for a week.

Didn’t Obama keep FOX out of his press conferences? Ergo there is precedent.

Mr. President Trump; I do appreciate the briefings you have. Those “reporters” who insist on have MONOLOGUES before they ask a question MUST be removed and have their “press passes” removed! Those “reporters” who sit there and ARGUE should be REMOVED IMMEDIATELY by the House Police. IF, they refuse to leave, ARREST them for DISORDERLY CONDUCT. Also, those “reporters” who RE-ASK the same questions should be addressed as IGNORAMUSES and will lose their “passes” when they have done this behavior more than twice. Before any questions can be asked, address these concerns.

The so-called reporters who show up are only interested in showing their shortcomings which they think are qualifications. They exhibit a brain full of belligerence and a mouth full of malice instead of journalistic curiosity and the bullsh*t begins to flow.

The Dog Fart Media (aka DFM) is being exposed daily as propaganda arms of the CCP. This last episode was a grand slam for the President. Who can seriously believe he recommended injecting oneself with Lysol? Only the most boneheaded, moronic LibTard,or an agent of the CCP. All of us have experienced the frustration of being misquoted, misunderstood, having our true meaning taken out of context, and we all share the President’s frustration of this orchestrated hypocrisy and slander. I say let them expose their bias,hatred and open advocacy of the CCP.

If I was Trump I would stay on the air just to piss them off. Instead of CV19, talk about Joe’s sexual assault, illegal FISA warrants, Governor Blackface and stuff like that. It would drive them crazy.

There is no way I would stand in front of those vultures on a daily
basis. Sarah Sanders can take care of them in a nano second.
They are rude beyond belief and no one ever did that to Obama
because they were afraid of his goons.

Dear Mr. President. Why not have a direct to the people talk, maybe in the oval office. No Fauxi, Birx (democrat/deep state pawns) or press. With maybe people who are really knowledgeable, “practicing” in their fields of expertise to back up the facts instead of so called experts with their BS charts… I always felt that the yelling, interrupting idiots should have been removed from the conference for their disrespect for the office of President.

President Trump should instruct his people to seat Lamestream hostile media (CNN< NBC, CBS PBS )in the back of the room and move decent hardworking non biased media to the front of the room

President Trump is without a question the best president the U.S.A. has had since Ronald Regan. He has done more for the people than anyone could possibly have expected or asked for. His news conferences however have been a bit of a disaster given that the Press is rabid, rude, ridiculous and frankly embarrassing.
