Today is a momentous day, because it marks the first White House press briefing of 2019:

You’d think this would be front and center on CNN and MSNBC. And you’d be wrong:
What happened to the White House Press Briefing? Was it not broadcast?

Sorry, Jim Acosta. Looks like the world won’t get to see you in action this time:
Why won’t your network air it? https://t.co/M7UkC0PcTE

CNN, MSNBC not running with WH press briefing

CNN and MSNBC bitch all the time about no briefings, and then cut away while major policy announcement briefing underway.

Missing an announcement of an oil embargo on a the largest reserves in the world is pretty bad.

Well, they probably have more important stuff to talk about. They’d never cut away from a White House press briefing unless they had a really good reason.
Oh:
I s*it you not, MSNBC is talking about 2016 and not running the briefing pic.twitter.com/9krn6hjnJp

After bitching for weeks they are showing commercials and promos for Kamala Harris "Town Hall" — "shocking"

STELTER: I think we are seeing more and more of a bunker mentality from the White House….
There's only been a few press briefings all month long. We're almost at the end of July. It's only been three briefings…TODAY: CNN doesn’t cover the first press briefing of the year. https://t.co/RB0FhEPEVz

They are Real News, Mr. President.
So they can cancel the daily briefings now?
