I really love the new WH press secretary. She just suffered through over a dozen repetitive questions about the confederate flag and the Wallace NASCAR thing. She did not suffer them gladly and at the end she excoriated the press because they asked not one single question about the massive increase in shootings in our cities and Trump’s offers of assistance.

It's up to the press to decide what it wants to know, not whomever they're putting the questions to. If their selection of topic is irresponsible, their readership will let them know, and they can correct.

A readership that was genuinely concerned with whether the questions are irresponsible probably would do that, yes. Meanwhile, the readerships of our major outlets do not appear to hold news outlets to much of a standard of responsibility.

Like this story?
(Psst, ABC, the driver was black. Why don't you think it important to mention that in the story? Instead you make people infer he was white, because he was driving a "luxury car.")

16 dead, at least 69 wounded in Chicago shootings this weekend.
15 dead, 104 shot in Chicago over Fathers Day weekend.
Want to guess how many of those were black? New York is up similarly. To be focusing on the Confederate flag and a non-event like the Wallace thing is nearly criminally negligent. Until this is addressed I don't want to hear about how black lives matter because they don't even matter to them. And I sure as hell don't want to hear about the Confederate flag and a non-existent hate crime.

Fine. Got nothing to do with my post, but whatever.

No, it is NOT up to the press to decide what it wants to know. The press has a responsibility to report the news - news that the public's needs and wants to know about. And how can "their readersip" let them know they've been irresponsible if when someone does let them know, someone else jumps up and tells them to in essence shut up because it is up to the press to decide what to report on?

I watched her a bunch on CNN leading up to the 2016 election. (The first and last few months I watched cable news shows)
Wasn't surprised at all when she got the tap. As Mik said, very quick on her feet. -

Why would the press ask the WH press secretary any question about Trump's offer of assistance to cities to deal with shootings? Trump has been offering to send federal agents into cities since 2017, there is nothing new there. If the question is "why has the shooting increased" or "why aren't the cities taking up the offer", those questions should be directed at various mayors' offices, not the WH press sec. (You still believe in "local control", right? Or do you prefer federal agents everywhere now because Trump offered?)
McEnany was simply deflecting with what-about-ism.

If it weren't for leftwing nutjobs like you running these cities into the ground there wouldn't be a need for sending in the feds in the first place.
