Will Press Conference formats change immediately with Sean Spicer?

@Pfuzylogic: It almost seems like that's the objective.

@Rutterman: That situation is important to practice vigilance in how familiar institutions are mutated for his purposes. It will take a lot of bravery and integrity to cover cogent immediate issues that affect freedoms that have been taken for granted.

@Pfuzylogic: I can only say that it's as important as ever for the press corps, not to mention the rest of us, to speak truth to power. It will take more courage than ever too, considering the political environment we currently find ourselves in.

@questionWeaver: I do agree at a certain level but he is not a rookie at communicating in this manner. I am watching Fox News and all of the press there was offended by his nerve of having a WH press statement and not a press conference. A press conference allows those attending permission to ask a question. They were just scalded and demoted to only receivers of Spicer's statement.

@Pfuzylogic:

Exactly ... He is making the new rules ... if reporters cooperate ... they get to participate ... if not, somebody else will fill the seat.

This is advanced negotiation ... raw ... confrontational ... there is no downside for Sean

He would be a fool not to do it.

They teach this in graduate school ... but few have the skills

@questionWeaver: I think that there is a moment though that especially with the price you have to go beyond pragmatism and inclusion to the very ideals of the constitution that were protected by military and an intelligence that has lost lives in order to protect it. That is the very same reason it is important to have free and fair elections.
That is also the very reason why I am concerned about trumps regard for those who lay down their life to protect those freedoms that we are guaranteed by the Constitution especially in front of the stars of the CIA where it shows those who sacrificed their lives to protect our country's integrity.

@badazzfantasticbich: I agree that even with the protests that he isn't listening to the needs of most of the women. He is just obsessively worried about the size of everything that he has. He censored the tweets of the Natuonal Park Sevices yesterday. Imagine that 😂 Censoring a truthful tweet!

@Pfuzylogic: censoring the nps really bothered me. I have family and friends who are rangers and if he tries to close it down they'll be out of a very fun, helpful to our environment, and great job.

@badazzfantasticbich: They control the mall. I am just concerned that they will lose any facade of autonomy and just be used as another agency to repropagate his fiction.

And control who tweet from the Executive Branch. I hope the NPS didn't get chastised too vigorously! They didn't mean any harm. 😊

@Pfuzylogic: don't worry d press corp will actually get bigger we'll soon have breitbart and info wars ta even things out

@Goralski: I do believe you have an accurate crystal ball. Did you look in Spicer's eyes. That boy was afraid!
He needs to get a new pair of 👞 Lol

@Pfuzylogic: it is very troubling watching this unfold ...

@Chernobylplayground: I hope the National Press has the courage to stand up to this "alternative facts and news".
If not for the sacrifice that the military and intelligence to protect our Constitution.

@Pfuzylogic: agreed

No whining here my friend!
This makes incredible entertainment! 😎
