I would have thought that explaining the inexplicable, defending the indefensible, and trying to appear reasonable without first having taken a reasonable position, would burn anyone out.
Screw the fake w@nkers, Spicer and the press council should just deny them entry to the room and call their managers let them know they're denied access. Let all other media outlets in.. they can sit in the hallways.. if they cant do their ethical duty and focus on the real issues and idea's then they can piss off until they do!

I think Spicer is doing a good job. We know from this forum what it is like to argue with far left liberal idiots, and he has to face a room full of them every day. He has the patience of a saint.

Trump and his supporters won't be happy until the First Amendment is officially repealed. If Spicer can't take the heat, he should quit. If Trump can't handle the responsibilities and consequences of being President, he should resign.

Sean Spicer is a moron and I'm not liberal. I can't believe he has the position he does. Or, should I say, duhhh-s. The guy just walks blindly into set ups by reporters and their pessimism that, by the way, is crucial to a healthy republic. He's a PR headache. A god# pony sideshow who could just shut the # up and literally, no one would miss him.
Anyone can write what ever they hell they like, but only those who have real journalistic ethics will be allowed to ask questions back.

And who defines "real journalistic ethics?" Does simply repeating the administration's lies constitute good journalism? Doesn't good journalism require confrontation with facts?

What the MSM and the voting constituents consider to be lies is highly debatable, same for the truth.
Quite honestly, I believe Trump is (occasionally) telling little white lies on purpose because he knows that the press is dumb enough to eat it up and regurgitate it to the rest of the country, instead of focusing on the issues that really matter.
In some cases he doesn't even have to lie, like the wiretap tweet.
The S in FISA stands for surveillance, you know.
