Are presidential press conferences now gone forever? (Poll)

[MisterBeale]

. . . and that would keep the press and the nation busy for the next week. . .

 

[Mac-7]

I saw a recent press conference with Karine Jean-Pierre.

All she did was lie her ass off. She make "Baghdad Bob" look like a truth teller.

Joe Biden does not have regular/formal press conferences, especially in "primetime".

So why should any future president hold formal news conferences and expose themselves to attack by a hostile "free press"?
Its safer to send out a "press secretary" to lie their asses off.

Biden’s handlers cannot risk him unscripted and unedited on national tv

But future presidents may not be as limited as he is

 

[Mac1958]

They're all lies and spin anyway

Yep. Bad enough watching the press secretaries doing it every day. Who needs it.

 

[iamwhatiseem]

And it shows you where we are as a country.
Every Democrat alive knows Biden's cognitive ability is not just in decline, but seriously decline.
And - somehow that is okay. They even joke about it. But still have no problem with him being the leader of the country.
Mind blowing

I think it started when Trump kicked correspondents out for asking questions.

 

[Lord-Humungus]

LOL!! Are you fucking kidding me? Can you imagine a "President Harris" doing a real press conference?
Not wanting Harris to be the democrat nominee isn't racist or misogynistic, its practical. Voters would never vote for that idiot.

Not according to Jemele Hill. That twat has set the bar that opposing Harris is the actions of a sick racist. I would hate to think Democrats are hypocritical shit sacks with two set of standards

Spoken by a lib biden voter

I had more respect for Bagdad Bob than Little Miss Scissors Me Timbers, she a sick joke.

It's enough to make one pine for the soulless Ginger as WHPS.

LIAR.
As president, Trump ALWAYS took questions, even when he was on his way to the helicopter.
Can show me a link otherwise, when he kicked out reporters?

The upside for Republicans is that if Harris is passed over, black women should stay home in protest. That would be good.

Old Joe can't put a sentence together so we don't have to worry about long winded addresses by the president.

That's all the position has been in either party. A total waste of time.

 

[lg325]

We may get a President who respects the idea and uses the press conference for what it was designed for.

 

[jotathought]

When you have a president that is unable to have a conversation with Americans ... and is unable to answer questions unscripted and without pre-selecting media resources for pre-scripted questions from his handlers .. where is the value?

 

[konradv]

I could, but I don’t have time to play games. You know it’s true. It’s just another MAGA trick, lie about everything.

Trump proved it....

from 2018

Trump Has Abandoned The Press Briefing Room And Reporters Should Too

If President Trump has given just one solo news conference since taking office, and he shows little interest in taking tough questions from the press.
