Top White House adviser Kellyanne Conway issued a new broadside against the media on Monday when she attacked reporters for covering things that the President of the United States says on Twitter.

Appearing on NBC’s Today, Conway knocked the press’s “obsession with covering everything President Donald Trump says on Twitter, and not what he does as president.”

...

Despite Conway’s assertions, Trump White House officials have often stressed that the president’s use of a Twitter is a way for him to communicate directly with the American public without having to go through the filter of the American media.

1. What he does as President is far worse than his Tweets. Does she really want us to cover

what he is doing to healthcare, safety, the environment, education etc?

[ProfessorGAC]

4. He Hasn't Done Anything Yet

Except to break things that didn't need to be fixed. Like you, i'm wondering if she wants greater scrutiny on that.

2. HA HA HAAAAAA

Haaaaaaaaa Ha. Can she believe what comes out of her mouth ?

[shraby]

3. Those tweets are what he IS doing as president.

Being president doesn't stop at 5:00 p.m.

6. Does she want the media to have more coverage of his golf outings?

"Appearing on NBC’s Today, Conway knocked the press’s “obsession with covering everything President Donald Trump says on Twitter, and not what he does as president.” "

So the media should cover his golf trips more?

7. That was Gorka's party line this morning on Cuomo

they stood toe to toe and punched each other in the nose. Gorka even looks and sounds like a nazi

8. What has he done as president. Failed at everything except making the Senate change

its rules to push Gorsuch through? Of course, all his stupid executive orders which weaken us

9. I saw a 15 second clip of the exchange

The reporter for the Toady Show said that the media's "obsession" with Trump's Twitter was because it's his main form of communication. Conway reflexively blurted, "That's not true," and the reporter reminded her that it's been three weeks since Trump has talked to reporters, so it's been his main form of communication lately. A quick application of Facts-Be-Gone, and Conway clammed up.

I highly recommend to other reporters to have at least this much preparation of facts whenever you speak to these people in the administration. They will blithely insist that black is white and not even blink.

10. Since he refuses to do press conferences

and his tweets are part of the official Presidential Records (per the Presidential Records Act), then these tweets are "relevant" -

[*** Presidential Records (44 U.S.C. Chapter 22)

11. This

Plus, according to her, aren't we supposed to "look into his heart" and not at what he says? We're supposed to just feel his intention and emotion by osmosis (ew, stopping now.)

[BumRushDaShow]

12. And similarly, as Spicey has said

"The President and a small group of people know exactly what it means" (when it comes to stuff like "covfefe&quot .

So we are to trust what he tweets.
