White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said on "Fox & Friends" that she doesn't want to hold televised press briefings because reporters "just want their moment to peddle their books."
"They don't want information, because my team and I give them information every single day...they want a moment, they want their moment on TV so they can peddle their books," Grisham said of the press. While daily briefings from the press secretary were a staple of most White Houses, they've become fewer and farther between under the Trump administration., the last White House press briefing was held by former press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on March 11, 2019, almost a full year ago.
When the hosts of "Fox & Friends" pressed Grisham on when she would hold a briefing, she argued that she's able to talk to more reporters and answer their questions outside the setting of a briefing, where only a few reporters get to ask questions in a relatively limited time frame. "I talk to the media every day," Grisham said. "During my day, I talk to five, six, seven reporters from every single outlet, print, radio, and online...it's just not on TV.
And I just want my paycheck without doing my job.
PressSec YOUR JOB IS TO REPORT. PERIOD. NOT TO DECIDE WHAT THEY DO WITH THE INFORMATION WHICH IS TYPICALLY ALTERED REALITY.
I bet she writes a book someday
Way to flip the truth on it's head.
Yes, yes, of course.
