That's the question that should be asked.

and sneak into one of the pressers then take the disguise off at the last minute. Or all the people at the presser should get Michelle Wolf masks and wigs and men and women could put them on right before Fuckubee comes out.

As I posted elsewhere, it's now very clear that she is just an actor, trained to deflect. It is painfully obvious. She really has no idea what is going on. And she will no doubt go down in history because of it.

She's like a trained seal.

There are a lot of reporters out there who have been humiliated and intimidated at Trump's rallies. Payback may be hell.

any reason for the legitimate press to attend these farcical "press conferences."

Report what they do, not what they say or tweet.

The news media is in thrall to liars and con artists (our employees and semi-elected officials)!

She's definitely a liar, and she probably was "in the dark" Apparently the WH & Trump have a habit of keeping women employees out of the loop. Ask Nikki Haley.

30. I generally don't watch the WH press thing

but today the TV was on as I was busy gussing myself up to actually venture outside the house for a while (I'm retired, sometimes I just stay in my nightgown if I'm not going anywhere). But I digress...

I don't watch because I find the mouthpiece to be irritating, uninformed, untruthful, and just a general waste of my time.

So, my question is: why do the reporters in the room keep asking her questions as though they were expecting answers. All she does is say she has no information and refers them to other people. She has absolutely nothing to say of any substance. Good thing I'm not a WH reporter. I would laugh out loud, leave the room and never go back. There is no reason for reporters to be there -- she never has anything to say. The only way to change this game is to stop playing the game.
