I expect someone will say, "You don't get to dictate to the press what and who they should ask."
Her response: "I'm glad you said that. Look at this video of all the times the Obama administration told you guys what to do and you lapped it up like fake news LAPDOGS."
yep and I'm sure she isn't going to address it because she knows they are waiting with their smart ass remarks. She's got some other homework for them, guaranteed.
“All these newspapers used to have foreign bureaus,” he said. “Now they don’t. They call us to explain to them what’s happening in Moscow and Cairo. Most of the outlets are reporting on world events from Washington. The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old, and their only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns. That’s a sea change. They literally know nothing.” -Ben Rhodes
He's leaving out the huge disadvantage that his generation had due to lack of the internet and other advanced telecommunications.
Now, on-air journalists can have real-time video conversations with reporters, public officials, and ordinary people on the other side of the world, even against a backdrop of combat, large crowd demonstrations, ongoing hostage situations, natural disasters, etc And they also have access to real-time communications via Twitter and other social media, with a much wider range of people than roving reporters could ever connect with back in Rhodes heyday. And they don't have to go to a bricks-and-mortar library every time they need to check historical facts.
They also maintain networks of personal friends and former colleagues who are working in various industries, including many who are living and working in other countries, and they stay in regular, real-time contact with the people in their networks, so they know who's working where. Need a read on the mood in the streets in Taiwan, during the massive Hong Kong demonstrations? Hey, my college pal Jim was transferred to Taipei last year by his private equity firm employer -- I'll just shoot him a message and ask him to call me.
It's not accurate to say that young reporters today "literally know nothing". They actually know a hell of a lot more than 27-year-old Rhodes did. But they are also being professionally manipulated in a way that was impossible back then.
Except how many of them actually use the net to reach out? Give me 5 minutes and I could chat with a Hong Kong protester or someone in Tehran. Give CNN five minutes, they steal props out of CarrotTop's bag.
I think a lot of them use it to maintain a network, both of people they've been personally acquainted with, and with various professionals, and with people referred to them by the above. I could chat with someone telling me they're a Hong Kong protestor in 5 minutes too, but I wouldn't be able to ascertain quickly if that's who they really were, because I haven't maintained a personal network that I can reach out to for quick, reliable referrals.
CNN, like MSNBC, is not even trying to do real journalism.
Wallace and his “that wouldn’t go over well” tough guy bullshit. What exactly the fuck would you have done about it? We saw what you would do about it. Go on tv and whine. These people are just disgusting man.
LOL @ Wallace: "If she'd treated me or Sam Donaldson that way, IT WOULD NOT HAVE GONE WELL!!!"
Meaning what, you pathetic fucking self-important globalist hack—you'd have threatened her into submission? Socked her in the mouth to put her in her place? Sent a couple of your goons to straighten her out?? Fuck you.
You're right, Chrissy: It would not have gone well. FOR YOU.
Well we know one thing: He hasn’t asked the questions.
That’s what so brilliant about Kayleigh’s approach. She hits the right tone (a somewhat frustrated but fully prepared crisis babysitter for unruly spoiled children), has a great look (kinda a tough-pretty in glam light gloss, youngish adult), and makes a fantastic presentation (both logically sound and rhetorically powerful, structured into a meme-able modern ‘mean girls’ soundbyte style that also supports a narrative framework which ‘plays out’ in a dramatic personality-clash spectacle, where she comes across as the protagonist).
No matter from what angle any non-TDS-affected audience enters the spin machine, or what part of the ‘drama’ first catches their interest, you end up at the same place: ’If she’s wrong... what’s the answer to her question?
No. 1: Why did the Obama administration use opposition research funded by a political organization and filled with foreign dirt to surveil members of the Trump campaign?
No. 2: Why was Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn unmasked, not by the intel community entirely, but by Obama's chief of staff, by the former Vice President, Joe Biden, by Susan Rice, by the treasury secretary?"
No. 3: "Why was Flynn's identity leaked in a criminal act? It is a criminal act to leak the identity of Michael Flynn to the press, but it happened."
No 4.: Why did the DOJ's Sally Yates learn about the unmasking from President Obama? So much for going 'by the book' as Susan Rice said three times, thou doth protest too much, Susan Rice."
No. 5: "Why did James Clapper, John Brennan, Samantha Power, and Susan Rice privately admit under oath they had no evidence of collusion while saying the opposite publicly?"
hope she does "show and tell" where the press can show us their homework from this weekend, have a feeling they will all be repeating journalism ethics class this year.
They will misdirect and reject her assertions of unmasking with the small slight of hand "Pen Registry" this is to confuse the public and they started shouting it out on Friday..
They unmasked thousands of times but a few where just Pen Registries which is just getting the metadata about phone calls not the content. this is how they will deflect.. .
Focus on the few Pen Registries instead of the thousands of unmaksings
She shouldn't take a single question until they answer all of hers
"Pop-quiz today! Why did a marathon runner randomly faint in Psycho Joe's office?"
Blunt force trauma to the back of the cranium.
Random acts of jogging
You mean you don't routinely jog through other people's houses on the other side of town?
Cold Case Joe!
You know they will have spent the weekend tryng to come up with a way to NOT answer what she asked...
I expect someone will say, "You don't get to dictate to the press what and who they should ask."
Her response: "I'm glad you said that. Look at this video of all the times the Obama administration told you guys what to do and you lapped it up like fake news LAPDOGS."
When she throws out the “I’m glad you mentioned that” you know she is about to spit fire.
I was imagining something along those lines....
Like fake news LAPDOGS!
LOL
But Trump! is the only answer they have
yep and I'm sure she isn't going to address it because she knows they are waiting with their smart ass remarks. She's got some other homework for them, guaranteed.
Love how she treats them like the spoiled children they are.
They must've grown up as spoiled children.

And yet they are still dumb af.
I'd rather deal with a house full of actual spoiled children than 1 of those jerkoffs that call themselves journalists.
If she was my teacher, my homework would've been done yesterday.
I got it bad, I'm hot for teacher.
I dropped my pencil. Give me something to write on.
Teacher teacher stop that screamin'
Teacher can't you see
I'm just a left-wing hack, a fool
Maybe I should go to hell
But I am doing well
Teacher gave me homework for after school :)
Fuck that. I'm trying to get detention with her
I would need help after school.
Appointing this hottie was a great move, so easy on the eye.
I don't know. Do they still give out spankings for not doing your homework?
Chris Wallace should get in today and prove to America what a tough guy he is. He won't though because he is a pussy.
I just looked up his family, dad was a 60 minutes correspondent, actor, and game show host. His stepdad CBS president.
Fuck these people.
Chris Wallae wouldn't even have a job if it weren't for his dad.
This guy was a legacy too.
He's got a bad case of TDS and can't hide it.
Remember when Chris Wallace was the fairest debate moderator in 2016 because that’s how rigged the debates are?
He went out of his way to talk shit about her on his show on Sunday. The dude just needs to retire. He's ruining his family name.
Now that they have limited seating, I bet they fight over who HAS to go in.
WOW thx for the stickie!!!
Dear Diary, today Kayleigh and the cool kids were mean to me.
“Since none of you guys did your homework I don’t think you deserve recess (asking gotcha questions) today. So that concludes our press beating.”
you don't have to say "imo" if it's the truth? at least on here (.win). maybe out in clown world
Wallace and his “that wouldn’t go over well” tough guy bullshit. What exactly the fuck would you have done about it? We saw what you would do about it. Go on tv and whine. These people are just disgusting man.
We think the same
LOL @ Wallace: "If she'd treated me or Sam Donaldson that way, IT WOULD NOT HAVE GONE WELL!!!"

Wallace did go too far on that there.
Must Reeee TV!
Try to remember the last time
A briefing by the WH press secretary was appointment TV
#HotForTeacher
Kayleigh: ‘Chris Wallace and Sam Donaldson HAVE asked those questions, apparently. Have they told any of you guys here the answers?’
Press: Runs out of the room
All Answers are ORANGE MAN BAD. But Blond Lady is too.
Stelter because hes a legit bitch
I haven't enjoyed these briefings this much since Spicy left. I love the media getting roasted. Sarah did a good job, but she didn't roast them.
Spicer was trash compared to what we have now.
Spicer actually did good. You should see how he handled the reporters, especially acosta.
Press beatings!
Why I am so glad you asked that question....
It all depends upon their preparation for the exam or the placement of their Depends when confronted with the naked truth.
Fake News: the Russians ate my homework
Probably CNN's resident eunuch.
$20 on Cryin' Brian.
Please tell me freaking Chris Wallace isn’t the one Fox is sending to these things, if so good grief fox will be just as bad as the rest
😂 that caption
Let the ass-whoopin'..... BEGIN!
The press are gonna be like the kids who messed around and did not do their book report and its due today
I'm hot for teacher!
I LOVE the way she berates these morons via crafty handling of their nonsense.
Def. Brian Stelter....Chris Wallace is a straight up psychopath. Stelter is an mkultra infantotype from langley cherub ward
I can’t wait !!
The Questions:
No. 1: Why did the Obama administration use opposition research funded by a political organization and filled with foreign dirt to surveil members of the Trump campaign?
No. 2: Why was Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn unmasked, not by the intel community entirely, but by Obama's chief of staff, by the former Vice President, Joe Biden, by Susan Rice, by the treasury secretary?"
No. 3: "Why was Flynn's identity leaked in a criminal act? It is a criminal act to leak the identity of Michael Flynn to the press, but it happened."
No 4.: Why did the DOJ's Sally Yates learn about the unmasking from President Obama? So much for going 'by the book' as Susan Rice said three times, thou doth protest too much, Susan Rice."
No. 5: "Why did James Clapper, John Brennan, Samantha Power, and Susan Rice privately admit under oath they had no evidence of collusion while saying the opposite publicly?"
I’ve seen liberals cry and whine in commenta that she isn’t allowed to ask questions. Where does it say that in the rules? 😂
She hurt their feelings...they won't do the work assignment. 🤣
I have planned today gym session around this. The media fuels my rage which lifts the iron
Never thought I would plan my day around a daily press briefing - but here we are 60 plus days into this fun
[Reporters A, C, D, E, and F force reporter B to raise his hand.]
Kayleigh: "Yes, the guy back there crying, with a snot bubble in your nose.... what's your....STOP CRYING.... what's your question?"
Something tells me the MSM did not do their homework at all. Considering what I heard what they and the Dems are not doing.
Send them all to detention!!!
hope she does "show and tell" where the press can show us their homework from this weekend, have a feeling they will all be repeating journalism ethics class this year.

Don't forget Jonah!
STELTER!!!! YOU WILL FALL!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PVoiKDPiTY
I am hoping Abilio Acosta is going to get his moment soon.
Stelter gonna squeal like a pig!
setting count down now for Press beating. spoiler alert - my penis is named "Press"
Anyone got a link?
She's putting on her magic eyelashes
