Why does a legitimate reporter not ask

[gabeana]

Sanders why she lies so much, why don't they just come out and say it to their faces?

This administration has so many substantiated lies, it could make up a phone book for a mid size city

1. Reporters have not asked them enough about why all their lies about Russian contacts

When from Trump on down, they all have 100% lied before getting caught in their lies and changing their stories.

2. you will notice that EVERY

time she calls on a reporter they start with "Thank you, Sarah"

3. Plum Job with major

Social Perks. Most of the White House so called Reporters would not last two weeks in the real world of reporting.

4. Roughly have

It's been asked about the ever changing story on Russian contacts. The answer is roughly a sort of "definition of is" kind of thing. She's not going to admit to lying, and she'll just turn it on them for every error ever printed about Trump.

Personally, I'd always frame her answers in terms of the last relevant past lie. i.e. "So when you say that Trump's position is A, is that the same as when his position on B was A, until it wasn't?"

5. They probably don't want to waste their time on a denial and then not be able to ask

questions that she might answer.

6. Reporters can be barred from the White House press pool.

Especially by this administration that flaunts its power and lack of following precedent.
