wire reporter, so we have seen over the past few days in the press briefing room that has not been the case. that upended some folks in the media sphere, and i wonder how you think the media has handled their own self reflection as they have tried to cover the new administration. first of all, sean spicer is entitled to call on any reporters in any order he wants. i don t think there has been a lot of stuff reflection but instead there have been a lot of knee-jerk reactions in the press to president trump s rather frenetic style where he watches a lot of cable tv, reacts to what he sees, tweets things out. sometimes they may be off or exaggerated or whatever, because this is a city that is used to commissions, taskforces, every word that i president speaks is carefully vetted and the speeches are carefully scripted. that is not donald trump s style, it is driving the city nods, but i am thinking it might be better suited to our hyperspeed media culture that he reacts in real-time.
