Out of the White House Hedges, Sean Spicer Finds Life Post Trumplandia Is Not A Bed Of Roses

Out of the White House Hedges, Sean Spicer Finds Life Post Trumplandia Is Not A Bed Of Roses

Two months after leaving as White House press secretary, Sean Spicer is a lonely man, writes The Daily Beast. Spicer has serious "credibility issues" say network executives, related to his constant manipulation of the truth for the Trump administration. NBC News said that all the big TV news networks are passing on Spicer as an on-air paid contributor. 

After openly scoffing at and "degrading" reporters, Spicer is not exactly the face of responsible journalism and a free press. 

Even Spicer's appearance at Sunday night's Emmy awards didn't work out so well, especially after James Corden stirred up a twitter storm after kissing Spicer on the cheek. Variety was the culprit who posted the image on Instagram, inviting major criticism of Corden for 'normalizing' Spicer.

Trump Receiving Twice Daily Propaganda Of Media Praise, Positive Tweets & Royal Bows

It seems logical that an informed administration representing all Americans would want an informed overview of the great, the good, the bad and the downright ugly news and op ed pieces written about them. Read on in AOC News. 

Not Trump!

Vice News reports that former Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and former Press Secretary Sean Spicer both sought the privilege of delivering precious propaganda 20-to-25-page packets to President Trump personally at 9:30 am and 4:40 pm. 

The folders are crawling with screenshots of positive-only cable news chyrons (those lower-third headlines and crawls), admiring tweets, transcripts of fawning TV interviews, praise-filled news stories, and sometimes just pictures of Trump on TV looking powerful. The president's fragile ego is not exposed to any negativity, as if Trump is living in the Magic Kingdom. 

Trump's Media Machine: Humbug or Bullshit? Business As Usual Political Lying? An Attempt To Make Putty Of American Minds?

Trump's Media Machine: Humbug or Bullshit? Business As Usual Political Lying? An Attempt To Make Putty Of American Minds?

About three weeks after the New York Times first used the word 'lie' in a headline as a way of confronting the lack of truth coming out of the West Wing, the entire media world, bloggers, Twitters -- anyone associated with communications -- now calls 'lies' for what they are. Trump spokesperson and adviser Kellyanne Conway may have invented the terms: 'alternative facts', but you can't pour water in that vessel without having leaks everywhere.

In a new development, the list of lies in Trump's long, meandering press conference Thursday Nov. 16, caused his base to love him and left the rest of us speechless. The lies were so numerous as to be frightening. PolitiFact takes a stab at separating fact from fiction.

Please, Please Come Back Melissa McCarthy. The White House Press Corps Needs You -- AND SHE DID!

Please, Please Come Back Melissa McCarthy. The White House Press Corps Needs You

SNL heard the pleas of millions of Americans, sending back Melissa McCarthy in her role of White House press secretary Sean Spicer or 'Spicey' as she affectionately calls him. Take a listen. 

McCarthy's in-drag Spicer chastised the news media for failing to report on terrorist attacks like “the Horror at Six Flags,” “the Slaughter at Fraggle Rock,” and “the Night they Drove Old Dixie Down”; and then plugged some of Ivanka Trump’s merchandise including a bracelet and leopard pumps (“These babies are real head-turners”). 

The pumps were great for two reasons: McCarthy was wearing them and word is that Trump goes crazy when women impersonate his male staff. Second, just yesterday afternoon -- as North Korea had successfully launched yet another missile test -- America's president was on Twitter complaining about the media hating his daughter Ivanka. His list of priorities continues to scare the hell out of millions of people. In the case of Ivanka's problems, Trump is like a dog with a bone. 

Word is that President is not happy with SNL making a parody of his administration -- even though the show has parodied presidents for years. For a ratings-driven president, it should matter to him that cable news ratings for Sean Spicers Monday-Friday White House briefing are solidly better than any briefing in history. People are turning off the soaps and tuning in. Read on in AOC Women's News
