Great news! The White House is trying to kill the daily press briefing.

The White House is trying to kill the daily press briefing

We've known for a long time that what Trump and his surrogates say is worthless, so the press briefings and their rebroadcasts are essentially wastes of time for everyone involved. The time is better spent focusing upon what Trump does and what's been newly discovered about the Trump Crime Family.




As Rachel Maddow said in the Rolling Stone Interview:

"Have you found the whole fake-news and "alternative facts" stuff to be a distraction?"

"I mean, who cares? It's like sticks and stones. I am interested in the president denigrating the press – and the judiciary and the intelligence community and law enforcement – because that is important in terms of his behavior as an increasingly authoritarian-style leader, the type of which we have never had before at this level of American politics, period. I am not interested in it because it offends me. When speech becomes behavior, then it is relevant. I don't watch the press briefing. I don't read the president's tweets. In general, 'The president has tweeted X' is an overblown story."

And, of course, who wants to look at this?
