ABC’s chief White House correspondent and White House Correspondents Association president, Jon Karl was the latest liberal journalist to decide they wanted to make a fat stack of cash by publishing a new anti-Trump book (Front Row at the Trump Show). As such, his Sunday appearance on Good Morning America was just another chance to hawk his product. He insisted President Trump was making a mockery of the coronavirus crisis and was using the daily press briefings as “a reality TV show.”With no consideration to the fact that, as president, Trump needed to juggle warning Americans

Many of us are longing for the press to be excluded. They add nothing but endlessly repeated gotcha questions. The briefings would be shorter, more informative, and the media would not be given yet another chance to show their own ignorance and their bias against our President.

And ABC is treating the entire affair as a melodrama.

The President is playing politics? You don't say! This whole crisis is political (and yes, I know people are getting very sick and dying and that covid19 is real).

It is reality... Makes the MSM squirm because they can't "spin" it.

It is “reality” — as opposed to much of what the msm reports — and it is “TV,” because that is the best way for the President to communicate. ‘Nough said.

This proves that ABC is so stupid that they don't realize that reality TV is scripted and real life is not.
Anyone surprised?

The media just can't stand being squeezed out as the filter between President Trump and the World! We really don't need them. If they were honest, they would just regurgitate what the President said, which is not news. Being that they are not honest, we don't need their lies either!

The President is offering his time and the time of key Admin resources leading the fight against the Wuhan Virus. The press is free to ask any questions they want. The media drive the topics. The reality show mentality comes from people like Jim Acosta, trying to make himself the story again and again. "Journalists" asking about why Jared Kushner said "our" when referring to medical equipment stockpiles.
How about asking questions to advance the understanding of the crisis and how to get through it. Has anyone asked about hydrochloroquine usage and outcomes? Are people using it? Is it successful or not? Is it available to anyone diagnosed with Wuhan Flu? If not, to whom is it available and why is not available to anyone diagnosed?

Gee guys, if you don't like it don't send your reporters to cover it. You are the ones making this a 'reality' show by the snarky questions and arguing with the President. If you didn't show up, Trump would have the experts give their opinion on how well or bad it's going. Trump would give a short talk about how 'we all need to pull together' and voila, it's over in ten minutes.

But I will watch Trump, and I will not watch ABC, whom I cannot stand. Check your ratings, ABC, then check Trump's. You are not doing very will with your lies, ABC, and your terrible on air staffing, all liberal, all ignorant, none with any charisma to attract any audience.

And televising Don Coumos and 'Touchy-Feely' Joes broadcasts are a public service?

Every day during the daily briefings, the press shows to America and the world how ignorant and partisan they are. They are all watching their phones waiting for the message they receive with another gotcha question. They ask questions that have already been answered if they were paying attention. Kick them all out. And don't give me the freedom of the press baloney, because what they do is not freedom of the press, is freedom to lie without consequences.

Pres. Trump said he wouldn't wear a mask while sitting at the Resolute desk dealing with world leaders. Press reports Trump won't wear a mask. Box on the press.

This is from an organization that characterizes itself as "journalism." ABC News is one step below the National Enquirer when it comes to "journalism," and I apologize in advance to the National Enquirer for this comparison.

The media is the enemy of America. They should be treated as the vermin they are.

If Trump were treating the press conferences as a reality show, ABC, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, PBS, The New York Times, The Washington Post, etc. would all be hearing "You're fired!"

It's good to see this happening because the journalists are proving what most people think- many are ignorant, stupid, and biased, and they sure were not STEM curriculum prospects. Most of the questions I hear have already been answered, and some are totally ludicrous, like the OUR chaos. The Left believes OUR means Jared and company are hoarding millions of items in their garages, or maybe their back pockets. Even fools know what he said and meant.

If you are a network that requires a permit from the FCC to use the public airwaves for broadcast and you INTENTIONALLY lie in your reporting by using the frightening 'news' footage from Italy, that you know is not from any US facility, in order to panic your viewers, why are you still allowed to use those public airwaves??? Please, Mr. President press hard on this button. Ask the ABC reporter this question on air. Put all of the MSM on notice that not only will they not be allowed to intentionally lie, they might go out of business for violating the terms of use.
