      Call me old fashioned but I think the White House of the United States of America should have the backbone to answer questions on camera.

      ... but it's also key to recall the number of times media allowed the Obama admin to give background briefings w/ no justification at all.

          Looking at what the media accepted from Obama is helpful in determining what's bad now — and thinking about what we shouldn't ever accept.

          And yet, if I remember correctly, they still did multiple on-camera pressers pretty much every week.

          True, although you do seem to suggest an equivalence. Just being a pedant here. Carry on. ☺

          No. I am not at all suggesting "equivalence." Looking at what the press accepted from Obama is helpful in determining what's up now.

          In some ways, although I'm sure in others ways this and other stuff began earlier.

          Fair, but weren't those in addition to the daily on-camera press sec. briefings?

          I don't think they're the same, and I think the Trump admin is much worse on this front, but it is important for press to think about this.

          And to think, that we thought Obama was stifling to the Free Press and whistleblowers. Now look what we've got!
