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.

>But the media has sunk to new lows and is not only reporting gaffes as statements of official view, but actively seeking to provoke said gaffes.
This surely has nothing to do with the administration's position that such gaffes *are* statements the administration's of official view? "All (non-vetted) tweets are considered official statements by the president", "The president and a select circle are aware of what 'covfefe' means", and so on?

Why can't we all just let The President's words speak for themselves? Next question. GOTO 10
