(10,303 posts)Send people who are very skilled in shorthand to transcribe every word, every utterance.
Then actors can recreate the White House Press Briefing. Whether it's a bunch of voice actors over sketch drawings or cartoons, or whether Melissa McCarthy from SNL does a straight version of Sean Spicer ... doesn't matter.
If the WH wants "fake news" they can have it. Problem is, it'll be their words.

(16,192 posts)America is asleep or watching teevee, playing internet games, viewing porn or cartoons, and acting like politics are so boring.
The end of this great experiment is nigh, and we may be in the starring roles
Good luck.

(50,566 posts)Just quit covering this White House. Go to animal shelters and film the kittens, and play that instead of Trump's whining. "Sorry Mr. Trump, but if we can't send cameras we're not sending reporters either."

(3,194 posts)The media needs to have their fix. They practically bow down before these Assholes. PLEASE, OH PLEASE, Let us cover you. If you want to ban cameras, no problem. We just need something, a quote, a wink, just something, to get our fix.
Your idea would be great, but counting on the media to suddenly develop cojones is a bit much. They're like little doggies, begging for the last scrap. Useless.

(3,439 posts)And, I say, who the hell cares! So, we get a professional pastel drawing of Spicer, for what purpose? That's batshit loco. No audio, again who the hell cares! As if, we'd get something of interest, such as the verdad, the truth, something substantative from this know-nothing guy spewing nothingness while the know-nothing liar and bigot in chief is relaying nothingness into his [Spicer] ear piece. Frankly, I'd rather report an inanimate object like say, a rock, bring the artist along as well to draw, well -- a rock.
As for the press and MSM, have some dignity. Basta! Enough already! The press should up and leave, quit; not put up with this locura, craziness any longer. It's abusive and down right shameful. So, in the case , that they're not going to quit anytime soon, then return to press room write required bullshit of nothingness leed or caption can read and be relayed as "day 146, nothing today from the know nothings" full stop, back to studio. And, you just know that el mal hombre, the bad man, on the other side of the wall is watching all the frenzy his little hands created, and enyoing every succulent minute of it.
In the mean time, the well-intentioned press people are going nuts before our eyes, wait -- correction right in front of the artist's eyes. The artist's interpretation could be: triumpf in media room, lounging lazily with 10 or so monitors on the wall, of course all tuned to his favorite programming such as Sponge Bob, of course; Fox looping feed of illegals aliens being rounded up, children clinging to their mothers, crying unceasingly as their mothers and fathers are handcuffed, hauled off to a land unfamiliar to them since they are dreamers; MSM's glaring and shocking images of brown and black boys/men dead, shot dead somewhere in the USA, as well as, depicting Muslims refugees being deported or killed by white republican Christian terrorist(s) and of course some podcast/cable show with Limbaugh and Colter spewing hate about everyone and everything non white and hypenated so called Americans -- you know, your daily dose of kkkreporting. (My apologies to DU, just being facetious, yet I dont believe I'm too far off from what eljefe, or so called boss absorbs daily and really for all of his self-serving racist life. Then there's the daily briefing, the chocolate treat of his day, as he's lounging lazily watching the monitor Spicer doing the usual, as he was ordered to, spins nonthingness into crap, he scans the press room for the familiar reporters all with their exasperated expressions oh hes elated, thinks 'he's bigly smart controlling all the poor peons, and the worId really, or so he thinks, all the while he' s sipping some spicy hate brew. Oh well, just another much ado about nothing, know-nothing day!
