MSNBC expanded their policy of not giving the White House a platform to lie by opting not to air the White House press briefing by Sarah Sanders.

Here is what all of the cable networks looked like while the press briefing was happening:

The briefing was the first one that the White House has held in a month, but that wasn’t enough for the network to give Trump and his Press Secretary an open platform to lie.

MSNBC did stream the briefing online:

1. This was a good decision.

Don't give the lies or the lying liars air.

[Separation]

2. About time!

I hope more follow suit!

Lies coming out of a dime bag dollar store reality star arent fit for the news. It's about damn time somebody did something about it.

[FakeNoose]

3. Thanks MSNBC! Let this become a trend

[Cha]

4. Gaslighting Fascist POS LIAR

had this coming a looooong time ago.

[Midnight Writer]

5. These briefings are nothing but lies and insults. No news value at all.

[Hassler]

6. So, Chump isn't a ratings winner anymore. Thanks for nothing press corpse.

7. the press briefing is informative

by paying attention to the government propaganda
we learn what they intend to do
of course its all lies
if man didn't need to lie, they never would have invented language
we learn what they want us to believe
and are able to conclude why
they telegraph their intentions
but this really does get stupider and crueler everyday

12. Same as with his rallies, there needs to be a record. But NOT simulcast 100% on TV...

I've hoped for some time that the news agencies would agree to delay the crazy pronouncements long enough to analyze them and extract what is pertinent, including debunking the lies.

[Eliot Rosewater]

14. You mean to THIS government propaganda, right?

All prior administrations had their way of making sure their priorities were highlighted, and the W and Reagan administrations lied often, but till now we did not have to question every single word they said, even though my friend G Carlin said we did, he meant it in a slightly different way compared to what we have now.

[Squinch]

8. Good for them. The objection seems to be that we miss out in information.

The reality is that newsreaders can summarise anything truthful and important in a few seconds or minutes and our time and brain space will not be wasted.

[Sherman A1]

9. Good

Hopefully more will follow this idea that should have been implemented on day 2 of this administration.

[Hekate]

10. Excellent plan

[malaise]

11. I noticed that

The comment that if anything useful was said, they'd cover it. Nothing was covered.

[ProfessorGAC]

13. CNN? ABC? NBC? CBS?

You're up folks! Don't air them live, listen internally, fact check and report on anything important, and point out the lies.

Like real journalism.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

15. real journalism is hard

They might have to pay reporters instead of millionaire talking heads.
