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.

Even when questions are not answered, a lot can be deduced about the administration by observing their avoidance techniques and level of embarrassment.
Further, 157 days is not such a 'long long time', even if it feels like it.

I'm not just referring to Trump's press briefings. Avoiding answering questions is the job of every press secretary I can remember.
