>>> It appears that the reporters in the press core have just about had enough of this and these press conferences are getting more and more heated.

>CNN aired parts of the last White Press conference with hostile scrolling verbiage. In an age when press coverage of the administration is greater than 95% negative, one way to prevent such antics is not to hold press briefings at all. Communicate with the people some other way and the 95% naysayers can't disguise their partisan behavior as news any more.

>BTW, in that most recent press briefing, Huckabee-Sanders was pleased to announce the banning of bump stocks, something that previous administrations claimed was beyond their power. Isn't it good that semi-autos can no longer be converted to illegal machine guns as used in one of the recent mass shootings? Yet an internet search on "bump stock" yields little of interest apart from Feinstein saying not to celebrate too soon because administrations can change their mind and also there's a law suit on it. The apparent boycott on good news is consistent with the briefing with not one question on bump stocks, only on repetitive snipes about Flynn and other politically loaded efforts to embarrass. Why bother?

Yes the end of the bump stocks is a good thing for sure. Point of fact though is that it was the ATF that decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration. But what exactly should a question about it of been at this press conference? I mean what possible question could they ask her? It's not an ongoing thing anymore is it? And there was plenty of news coverage on that subject.
Also -- prison reform legislation has gone thru - which has also got a large amount of coverage....so yes no question that two great things got accomplished. Meanwhile just a few hours later he claims to of defeated ISIS and is making a HUGE HUGE international mistake on that - and is also saying that he is not going to sign the bill to prevent the government from shutting down. So yes his bump stock thing got coverage but it's quickly forgotten because of Trump own ignorant crazy actions and words on matters of massive importance.

The problem you have here is that you complain about 'boycott on good news' when the real issue is that there is simply a very small amount of good news in regards to this administration to report on -- I mean just look at all this crap day after day after day. When Trump does 10000 bad, stupid, racist , illegal things , or spews crazy conspiracy theories and easily proven lies for every 1 thing he does good , then do not bitch about the news being bad....instead note that Trump is not only a horrible president but a horrible person in general. If he wouldn't of wanted to be president he could of quietly continued to launder money for the Russian mob and bang porn star hookers for the rest of his life -- but nope -- he is an idiot -- and now he is going to pay the price. I doubt he will make it past next August.
