Didn't that fat sack of poo poo try to email them to try and create false evidence? I'm pretty sure that's at least Stalking if not harassment of the whole family to try and turn them into the next Vilerat's Mom.

I hope they fire him. The death of legacy corporate media cannot come soon enough 24 hour news and the cable in general is running on fumes. I mean the 24 hour stations aren't as screwed as ESPN with billion dollar legacy contracts but I wouldn't bet on them to all be around like they are in 10 years.

Kim Dot Com is just some fat guy hiding in New Zealand, he's a little harder to sue successfully, but I doubt Rich's family would have a hard time finding a lawyer to go against Fox. e: Fox treating him as a credible source is probably good evidence for them actually lol

The Admin's going to have such a culture shock when they have to start dealing with the US Press again this week after a week of foreign red carpets and off air briefings. I bet they try and stay silent until like Wednesday when the press starts grumbling about where Sean Spicer is.

The "Trump will hold a press conference every two weeks" thing is so doomed for a variety of reasons but the one most likely to make it never ever happen is that after like 4 days of no press briefings there will be such a backlog of scandals and loaded questions the press is screaming that there's no loving way they'll let Trump be the one spearheading their response to them after another week of build.

I feel like there's a 50/50 chance there's an official White House statement that the President is depressed by how mean the US media is and needs them to be nicer like the Middle East press.

Other than that, some minor reshuffling. I think Trump's instincts are to fire underlings when there's a problem, if only to divert blame. Issue is, all his current underlings are either too personally connected to fire (kushner), are actually doing a good job given the poo poo they're being handed so firing them would look pathetic and pointless (Spicer), or are too connected to Trump's public image or know too much already or both (Bannon). Plus there's nobody to replace them with because nobody wants to immolate their careers (FBI director job).

I mean, yeah, but I think the truer answer is that the POTUS, Ivanka, Kushner, and the inner circle aren't in the country and they've probably been hiding bad news from Donald so he didn't spout off about this stuff at the G7 and working full time to manage him so the guys left at home have absolutely no idea what to say. But also, its clearly all true.

All things considered, Donald, when I think "what I want from my government press briefings", high ratings are not on that list. I want government to be something I skim over except when they do something extraordinarily good, so I can watch the people celebrate in the streets. Government shouldn't be run like an episode of the apprentice where I'm sitting there waiting to see how it ends.

They've tried to gently caress with this but every time its blown up in their faces. They banned a bunch of news outlets like CNN and everyone, including Fox News, screamed bloody murder about it. Then they tried to do off air briefings and the reporters just recorded them and played the audio and it turned out to play even worse. They'll at some point try to end press briefings and now is a likely time but it will explode really quickly and they'll quickly give in and throw Spicer back to the wolves. Realistically you just can't go media silent and let the media you've been trashing be the sole people driving the narrative and calling you secretive and afraid to answer questions. No matter how much they want to.
