They should be on camera. I can't believe you are happy about this.

That's a 5 day old clip. Are your handlers taking days off work and slacking on what talking points/links you need to post in order to get your paycheck for posting? Or are you trying to reach a specific threshold of posts to get paid more, so 5 day old links will suffice?

It's an egregious insult to American Democracy for the WH to be playing these secret games with press briefings. Just more authoritarian nonsense. Acosta is totally right.

Trump is doing things that no president, Democrat or Republican, has done in decades.

Only people like Bentlebee see this as "Making America Great Again," limiting press access/questions to the president

Thanks for understanding

The left should be happy as what they have been doing resulted in 5-0 loss!

Maybe a change in gears may help the left

Sorry, Bentbee, not all of us drink the same Kool Aid you do. Transparency in government is essential to keeping our politicians as honest as possible. What is your boy hiding and afraid of that he has to hide behind this cloud of secrecy ? If he were honest and upfront he would WANT the American people, especially you who voted for him , to know every detail of what he is up to.

You may like them operating in the dark, but you voted for Donald Trump , which should tell you something.

NEVER??? Are you really that clueless about what has gone on in the White House for the last 8 years?
It was pretty well reported that TeamObama controlled the Media like no other President in our lifetime.

The New York Times reported in 2015, President Barack Obama met privately with liberal reporters and columnists frequently throughout his tenure in office — “more than a dozen” times. And although he occasionally invited conservative columnists, “Liberal-leaning columnists from newspapers tend to dominate at Mr. Obama’s secret sessions.”

Obama’s private briefings for liberal members of the media, which excluded conservatives, were well-documented. A few:

~December 2012: Several journalists reported that MSNBC hosts were meeting privately with President Obama to discuss the impending “fiscal cliff” fight.

~May 2013: NPR’s Ari Shapiro reported that President Obama was meeting privately with “lefty columnists,” but hastened to add that there was “nothing nefarious” about it.

~November 2013: President Obama met again with liberal journalists, as Obamacare struggled with the failure of healthcare.gov and other problems.

~March 2015: Politico’s media reporter, Hadas Gold, reported that “a group of journalists and columnists,” all on the left, met privately with President Obama, but the White House refused to say “who else was at the meeting or what was discussed.”

Obama holds off-the-record session with columnists |Politico - March 2015

President Obama met regularly with SELECT Journalists and Media - all of it "off the record" and "secret" -- at least President Trump's Press Secretary allows everyone into the meeting, even if it isn't Televised for their "Outrage of the Day". Perhaps when the Media gets serious about doing their job, then they can have their theater back for their daily bashing. I'm surprised the White House is even letting them in the door - ALL they want to talk about is RUSSIA, COLLUSION, GOSSIP, MYTHS ..... junk stuff, not news.

IF it wasn't for Double Standards, the Leftists would have NO Standards at all

Get off your high horses you sanctimonious hypocrites. Name one thing you remember from Josh Earnest (ha) press conferences. In this day and age, there's nothing Spicer can tell us that we don't know already. Just read Trump's tweets. It'll save the networks a ton of money.
