Damn Camera

Well, after Stephen Miller’s unseemly tirade yesterday, Republicans are pleading for no more on-camera daily briefings.

Seriously.  It was the camera’s fault, not the idiots the White House sends to do the briefings.

Conservatives are arguing that the White House should once again take the press briefings dark after Wednesday’s on-camera event turned into a shouting match between a White House aide and members of the media.

White House policy adviser Stephen Miller engaged in a heated back-and-forth with two of the administration’s biggest media nemeses – CNN and The New York Times – provoking some in conservative circles to declare that it was a mistake to give reporters the exposure they crave by broadcasting the daily briefings.

No, no, no, no. It wasn’t that reporters crave “exposure.” Exposing lies and hypocrisy, yep. But not “exposure.” You’re thinking of Donald Trump, Buddy.

Let me ask a question: if Stephen Miller really showed-up Jim Acosta like conservatives said Miller did, then why in God’s name would they want to go “dark?”  Why not show-up the press in public and let people see they are “preening?”

Yeah, I thought so. That doesn’t make sense.

Thanks to Deb for the heads up.
