It will be a daily something. When I say 'something,' maybe it's a gaggle, maybe it's an on-camera briefing, Spicer explained.
Maybe we solicit talk radio and regional newspapers to submit questions because they can't afford to be in Washington but they still have a question. Maybe we just let the American people submit questions that we read off as well, he added.
This weeks press conference, he indicated, will be conducted in a standard format.

(10,270 posts)First press conference of new admin....EMPTY ROOM.
Because fuck His Orangeness if he thinks he gets to tell a Free Press how the Game gets played. That's not the way it works.
Next day, apologies galore.
Day three?
Chris Hedges, Jeremy Scahill, Frontline, Christian Science Monitor, The Daily Show, Olbermann and Maddow, etc...you know, the ADVERSARIAL PRESS. That's not a press conference I would have ever wished on President Obama, but Obama knew how the game was played. Trump should get no such honeymoon. He thinks he's the Best, then he can fucking prove it. I'm tired of these coddled-ass, safespace, 'media is biased' intellectual failures thinking that that Press Room belongs to the White House. It belongs to The Free Press and the Free People. If they can't handle fact-checking, how the FUCK are they keep ISIS from retaking Baghdad???
Idiots.
(ON EDIT) Then, just because they can, they should get Barrack Obama to host next year's correspondents dinner. Because ADVERSARIAL, motherfuckers.
