WaPo reporter hits White House for lack of media briefings: Press room is 'abandoned'

[left-of-center2012]

A Washington Post reporter criticized the lack of media briefings from the White House by comparing the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room to a Blockbuster video store that is "dusty, cobwebbed and abandoned."

The White House has "a very nice room for press briefings" wrote Washington Post media reporter Paul Farhi in a story published on Sunday about White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders using the White House driveway to address reporters instead of a more formal setting.
"But these days, the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room is like a Blockbuster video store: dusty, cobwebbed and abandoned," he wrote.

The perspective comes more than two weeks after CNN reporter Maegan Vazquez took a photo of the briefing room podium to show it gathering dust. “The White House hasn’t held press briefing in so long that the lectern in the briefing room is quite literally gathering dust,” Vazquez tweeted on May 17

Sanders's last press briefing occurred on March 11, where she was asked about the lack of press briefings. “I know the president is the most accessible president in modern history,” Sanders said at the time.

1. That's tellin' 'em!

Every two or three weeks, some reporter meekly notes the paucity of access to the White House then quickly scampers back out of sight. You KNOW that if this was a Democratic administration shutting out the press while declaiming itself the most accessible president in modern history, every media outlet inside and outside the Beltway would be clamoring about it 24-7.

It's not just the obsequious White House staff that's ultra-sensitive to the Emperor Trump's moods.
