Diluting the corporate media stranglehold

Give the pussies some cheese to go with their whine, plus throw in some fish heads.
By creating accountability, you mean discourage them from asking tough questions?
Pretty good way to start some propoganda, isn't it Brad? Make sure there are no adversarial or inconvenient questions?
Favored media outlets has been a thing for hundreds of years.
I kinda appreciate it being so open and obvious.
Gonna check source documents and actual statements anyway.

Controlling the narrative is the exclusive domain of the AP, New York Times, Washington Post, ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN.
How dare the unwashed be involved!

Post reality liberalism. Watch he will be here later tonight going off on biffs dishonesty. Rinse repeat.
I'm glad he called on the "others." Nobody is answering questions about Flynn at this point so those questions would have been wasted time. I like the expansion outside of the same old DC beat bubble. Some home style media folks across the country getting access to the President is actually one of the best things I've seen the Trump administration do thus far.
Ummm... yeah. Did you read the article? The premise is that he's not taking questions from the traditional media because his favored media members don't ask him tough questions.
Yeah, I read the article.
I intentionally didn't bring up their "whine" in order to bait a lefty into some moronic, lack of common sense rebuttal. I didn't think it would be you though.
You are aware that there are press conferences on the reg, right? Have you flipped on a TV lately?
Try again Gonzo.
Well don't just change the topic when you're proven wrong. He has regular Spicer and Kellyanne lying sessions, but that article isn't about those -- it's about Biff's press conferences. Is that not what we're talking about? Biff avoiding tough questions from the lamestream media is the issue, to borrow a phrase from a conservative maven.
Congrats on the trap. Brilliant tactics -- post an article and then once engaged, continually shift the topic away from the article's content. I never saw it coming.
How many tough questions were posed to Obama?
I don't like softballs being tossed to either party.
The press shouldn't be cheerleaders. I agree with Ben Shapiro who says that the press has a responsibility to be adversarial -- to BOTH parties. (Of course the problem is that wasn't happening the last 8 years.)
i agree with all that. To answer your question, I wouldn't know, but he went on Fox news at least a couple of times - once with Chris Wallace and one with O'Reilly that I can remember off the top of my head. One of the like, three things I liked about Biff was his apparent willingness to hook it up/engage the media instead of avoiding them. I think the country respects anybody that stands in there and engages. People can sniff a turd, and unfair media questions usually backfire.
Were it up to me, they would be debating with Congress like the brits do in parliament. It would greatly educate the public regarding our elected officials if they actually saw them instantly reaping the consequences of unfairly spinning their opponents' positions, which is sort of Tactic # 1 nowadays.
Let me ask this: When's the last time there was a real, hard hitting interview of Mary Fallin? You NEVER see it in Oklahoma state politics. Channel 4 has a show, but if Turpin asks any tough questions the politicians won't come on.
I agree with this post. You can definitely be spot on during your lucid moments.
There's blame to put on both sides of this and it's a major mistake to act differently.
The mainstream media is all but the propaganda arm of the Democratic National Convention. Trump is an immature dolt and should start doing what's best for the American public -- and that's not twitter.
As long as John Q Public is calling out just one party, you're just being played.

WTF party are we supposed to call out? The minority party that isn't in charge of anything?
Personal growth is good for even the smallest among us, sys. Never give up, never surrender.
Okay -- let's all focus on the party that does NOT control the house, the senate, the presidency or the supreme court.
Maybe there's a little deflection going on? A tiny bit?
Screw personal growth. Growth is bad for cancer, potato bugs, webworms, debt.... your pro-growth agenda needs further scrutiny.
I reject your minority party hypothesis. The establishment is on the outside looking in. You are on the same side of the fence as Paul Ryan, Lindsey Graham and John McCain. I mean... just let that sink in.
Within the context of what I was responding to, your phrase, your statement here is a deflection in and of itself.
