In response to the White House's recent trend of prohibiting cameras at press briefings, CNN on Friday said it sent its in-house Supreme Court sketch artist, Bill Hennessy, to Sean Spicer's latest press briefing.
CNN said it "equated press briefings to a Supreme Court argument -- an on-the-record event at which cameras are banned." The network argued sketches of the briefing had news value in the same way courtroom sketches do.
News organizations and the White House Correspondents' Association have protested the Trump administration's decision to scale back on-camera press briefings to unprecedented levels.

I fail to see how "Waagh Trump is a Nazi" is considered insightful. I mean come on people, even if you actually agree with this sentiment there is not shred of insight or novelty to this comment, we get a few of these in every single goddamn article that talks about Trump and occasionally even under articles that have nothing to do with him at all.
