"Why are republicans okay with Trump not having a solo press conference since February?"
Obama & the Press: Analyzing Obama's Lack of News Conferences
- Snowflakes had no problem with it.
Hillary Clinton hasn’t held a press conference in 257 days. That’s ridiculous.
- Snowflakes had no problem with it.
Oh boo-hoo...The President is not 'feeding' the Fake News Media.....based on CNN's continued decline into the depths of Fake News hell, why bother?! Trump is treating the press badly? Really?
11 Times Barack Obama Abused Press Freedom - Breitbart
1. Campaign plane “hijacking” journalists. In 2008, the Obama campaign flew 25 members of the media to Chicago — without telling them then-Sen. Obama was not, in fact, on board.
2. Closing White House events to all but the official photographer. Obama barred the media from events — including, ironically, an award ceremony where he was recognized for “
transparency”
3. Trying to shut out Fox News. The Obama administration targeted Fox News for isolation and marginalization,
arguing that it was not a legitimate news organization but “the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party.”
- Wow, hypocrisy and karma are a bit@h!
4. Stonewalling FOIA requests. The Obama administration “
set a record” for failing to provide information requested by the press and the public under the Freedom of Information Act. The low point was Hillary Clinton’s email scandal, where tens of thousands of emails were hidden on a private server and deleted.
- Most Transparent Administration EVUH!
5. Prosecuting journalists and their sources. The Obama administration
pursued Fox News reporter James Rosen’s private emails — then misled Congress about it.
-
Perhaps Trump should have Sessions round up some of CNN's disgraced Fake News Reporters, huh?
6. Wiretapping the Associated Press. After the Obama administration’s
snooping on the AP was exposed in 2013
-
ILLEGAL wire-tapping!
7. Refusing to hold press conferences. For long stretches of his presidency, Obama refused to hold press conferences
at all,
going 10 months without a formal press conference in a critical stretch from 2009 to 2010.
-
Gee, and 'Despicable Donny' did not hold a Press Conference at all in the last 5 months....
8. Filibustering at press conferences. When Obama did, finally, hold press conference, he often
limited the number of questions by delivering long, rambling, often condescending answers.
9. Attacking tough questions. When a Major Garrett of CBS actually
asked a tough question — about why the administration seemed not to be trying hard to free Americans held by Iran, including
Washington Post journalist
Jason Rezaian — Obama scolded him.
-
How DARE you ask such a tough, appropriate question!
10. Appearing on fringe outlets. While media elites gripe about conservative journalists being given a chance, Obama often restricted his appearances to fringe media:
Inside Edition; Funny or Die’s
Between Two Ferns (which was then
nominated for an Emmy);
YouTube stars; and a radio show called
“Pimp with a Limp.”
- Hey, don't laugh! it turns out that 'Pimp With a Limp' is more CREDIBLE than CNN!
11. Iran deal “echo chamber.” The Obama administration created “fake news” to support the Iran deal, setting up what it later boasted was an “echo chamber” of “experts” who would comment in the media to support the White House narrative on the negotiations. Meanwhile, key details were hidden from the public.
- Propaganda-Pushing Echo Chambers...
"Through it all, President Obama regarded himself as a champion of press freedom, having run the “most transparent administration ever.”

I do LOVE the Internet Age, where you can reach back, find awesome things like this from the past, and bring them back up to remind snowflakes of their own hypocrisy and BS.
