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'm only 71, not 80. Great number, great age. I don't think of myself as the oldest President ever, but as the most mature. Crooked Hillary, let me tell you, is 69. Which is a great number too. I had a great time when I was 69. I'll tell you about it if I see you in a locker room. Great experience. That's what I bring, great experience and maturity. I'm the most experienced and most mature President ever. I hosted WrestleMania IV at Trump Plaza, in Atlantic City. At the beautiful, beautiful Trump Plaza. And WrestleMania V. The only time WrestleMania has been in the same city two years in a row. The only time ever, in all history. Amazing! And I wrestled too. Great television. Can you imagine Crooked Hillary hosting WWE? What has she done? She lies, she cheats, she steals, she deletes EMAILS. She hacks the cyber, she rigs elections. She schlongs her opponents with her trickery. I wrestle them on television, fair and square. Believe me, nobody makes better television than #TrumpTV [twitter.com] #TRUMP2020 [twitter.com]

I feel sorry for Spicer. He has to clean up after the eliphant in the room.

Yeah. A fun game is to find pictures of KellyAnne Conway when she doesn't know she's being photographed. When she knows she's on camera she looks like the prototypical conservative american woman, all unflinching smiles and perfect makeup. Catch her off guard and she looks like some kind of haggard, hungover sith-lord. This is what the pressure of trying to reconcile Trump's tweets with reality can do to a person: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/feb/10/kellyanne-conway-white-house-gaffes-three-strikes-but-not-yet-out [theguardian.com]
