As long as it's a one-off. If it becomes a trend, that's another story. And, even if it doesn't, it doesn't make it right.
Oh, please. Did the President ban all press from the rose garden event? Do we not have news video showing us exactly what was said?
Does not the administration have a right and a responsibility to expect a modicum of decorum from the press when in the White House? Do not the American people have this right, too? The First Amendment is not a hall pass for drama queens and idiots.
This President is more available to the media in a week than Obama or Bush were in a year. President Trump can't cross the WH lawn without answering questions, and nine times out of ten he stops and let's the press have at him. I've stopped posting those videos here because there's no interest in what the President had to say --- so maybe you're unaware of this phenomenon.
So stand down on these silly accusations and chastisements. The administration's reaction to the free-for-all disrespectful media -- disrespectful to the President AND his guests --- is long overdue.
