Stephen King and fellow novelist Don Winslow challenge Trump admin to hold press briefing and offer to pay $200K to Trumps press secretary (Stephanie Grissham)charity if they agree. Its been a record for the time between press conferences, over 300 days an counting.
Is the quote from Stephen King? It is kinda funny that he chooses such a Gothic font.
The press briefings were stopped because the media was just reporting what they wanted from them to advance their narrative so why keep having them?
If King is concerned why does he just attend a Trump rally?
Maybe they should have a press briefing explaining why they stopped the press briefings?
From that piece:
Quote:
Grisham did not respond directly to the challenge, but told CNN’s Jake Tapper: “If you have $200,000 to play with, why not just help children because it’s a good thing to do? Donations to charity should never come with strings attached.”
Winslow responded: “First, we both regularly donate to charity. Second, why do all Trump officials refuse to answer the most basic questions they are asked? Stop evading, Stephanie. Let’s try again: Why have you not held any White House press briefings for over 300 days? What are you afraid of?”
Maybe if the media would act professionally, we could have press briefings again.

Now they are on air live, chewing it up and spitting it down our throats, because they think we are too stupid to decide for ourselves. Disgusting what a monster the news media has morphed into.

I hope Trump doesn't hold anther press briefing for those lying swine for the next 5 years of his Presidency...those lying media bastards don't deserve it.
There is no press secretary and there are no press briefings. There is only a crazy old overweight guy ranting in his driveway. Waiting for him to show up in a bathrobe and slippers, but with perfectly coiffed hair and full makeup.
I wouldn’t call Michael Moore’s hair perfect. I don’t think he showers. Cheap azz $200k offer.

He should be able to stand up and answer the tough questions like Bush and Obama rather than hiding behind Twitter. He could at least send out Grisham for an hour every few months, what are they afraid of. Much tougher situations the prior two administrations, he needs to come forward like other presidents.
When ALL the questions are loaded like "when did you stop beating your wife?", Trump just said "the heck with them, they're not worth my time". I'm glad he ditched them. They don't deserve the airtime.
I hope there isnt another briefing while he's in office. The media are scum, swamp creatures. Fox included.
The OneAmerica News Network is about to enter the American consciousness. This is going to re-set the mainstream media, and Fox News too. Fox news will look left of center compared to OAN.

Well i would say that recent events in Iraq would be deserving of a press conference, rather than Grisham and trump just sending out tweets.
Ok--have it your way. The evidence is that there is no press secretary and there are no press briefings. Kind of hypocritical to insult me for insulting Trump. Throwing in one or two examples, which are basically Trump sending his cabinet out to lie is not evidence.
So, basically, having press briefings don't qualify as press briefings because you think he's sending people out to lie so they don't count yet no matter how much evidence they share you will still call a lie and therefore no press briefing will fill your definition of a press briefing...did I follow that correctly? LOL Circular logic...or circular LACK of logic! GEESH you people crack me up!
