What would we lose if we lost the daily press briefing? Mainly, we’d lose a daily opportunity to see reporters look heroic while badgering a dimwit.

I mean, the fact that 45* and the WH Press had completely different stories about Comey is more than enough reason to keep them.

yeah, i understand the frustration with getting any real info/knowledge from a PR hack but doing away with it because of ths bozo only harms what is to come.

Absolutely. A written report is the PR person’s dream; having someone out there choking on the bullshit they have to cough up is their nightmare.

This. 100%.

Yep. And for some reason only Breitbart, The Blaze and FoxNews will be the only outlets to get invittes

Oh, c’mon: share the love. Beefy Woman, the substituting junior press sec, got off to a Spicer-start with her whopper lies about hearing from “countless” FBI agents for how they were glad Comey was fired.

Yeah, it’s pretty obvious the current administration would rather just do what they want and reveal the results. I agree that they’re generally meaningless, but this is one of the rare instances where it helps stroke the fire and put pressure on them.

Congratulations - you beat the stuffing out of that strawman.

Oh OK, that makes it cool, then! Good point.

Everything happens everywhere at some point. The real question is how much does it happen, and this type of shit happens in Boston more often than in other major cities.

I have been to my fair share of baseball games in Oakland and San Francisco. Never have I heard the n-word thrown around. Especially loud enough for the goddamn center fielder to hear. Fuck that racist bullshit.

I remember when Joel Ward for the Capitals knocked the Bruins out of the playoffs with a game winner and his Twitter feed blew up with racist trash from Boston saying gawd awful shit.
