Isn't this the administration that called for more transparency? Last May, he said this: President Donald Trump says he wants transparency from everyone involved in the investigation of Russian influence in the 2016 presidential election.

Trump said before leaving for a trip to New York that "what I want is total transparency." Something must have changed his mind, Sarah Sanders hasn't had a press briefing in more than a month and I don't think we're going to see another one for a long time.

President Trump said Tuesday that he directed White House press secretary Sarah Sanders “not to bother” with press briefings because he believes that reporters are rude to her and that most members of the media will not cover the administration fairly.

“The reason Sarah Sanders does not go to the ‘podium’ much anymore is that the press covers her so rudely & inaccurately, in particular certain members of the press,” Trump said on Twitter. “I told her not to bother, the word gets out anyway! Most will never cover us fairly & hence, the term, Fake News!”

Might as well let her go then. She needs a decade or more to regain all of her credibility. If ever (doubtful).

Yeah, sounds like this makes her "non essential".

Surely we are all giving Trump credit for taking responsibility.

Honest question: what do you care if they hold pressers, or not?

The freedom of the press, protected by the First Amendment, is critical to a democracy in which the government is accountable to the people. A free media functions as a watchdog that can investigate and report on government wrongdoing. Free press is a vehicle for ordinary citizens to express themselves and gain exposure to a wide range of information and opinions. Trump tried hard to eliminate Jim Acosta from the press briefings, remember? Well, Trump lost that battle in the court. So now the only option Trump has to keep his dirty secrets out of the press is simply not to have press briefings.

Maybe it was just getting too hard for her to lie so much, it might have been doing damage on her Christian conscience...... nah, that's silly, never-mind.

lol to hard? I doubt it

truth is she is EXCELLENT at the job she was hired to do and that is to deflect away from and protect the president. Her lies and deflections are actually very smooth as far as delivery . . .

Im not saying it actually works and fools everybody but she is great at it! ;)

Yes you are correct, she can lie with no guilt or hesitation.

If her and trump bred the child would be born with 666 on its forehead, and trump would present him as ruler of the world, (well except for Putin, we all know he does as he will).
