Hmmm...wonder which sort of publications are going to be using Skype. Pravda? Breitbart?

White House briefing will soon offer Skype seats

Starting this week, the White House will offer four Skype seats for journalists who are not in the DC area.

"As you know we are about big viewerships and large audiences here," Spicer said.

Spicer added that the White House was taking these measures to open up the press briefings to a larger, varied pool of journalists who may not have the funding to be in DC It's unclear where these journalists will be located or which publications will be given access.
 
Trump's cabinet is worth 14 billion - apparently the richest in USA history....so if you are a working class guy or gal stop wondering where all the money is...they have it
 
By your definition the right...namely Fox News...does nothing but identity politics. Right vs Left. All things left are evil...scary...fear change.

Without progressive ideas we wouldn't have advanced as a culture/nation. People on the right always resist change. They talk about tradition...well, frankly it was once tradition to own slaves in this country...it was once tradition that women didn't have a voice. Gays were vilified. Since the founding of this nation conservatives have railed against immigrants...whether it be the Irish, Polish, Chinese, Mexicans...always resistance in a nation that was founded by immigrants.

I embrace one thing more than any other with regards to our constitution...all men are created equal. If that is identity politics then I am happy to wear that label.

Great. Most of what you've said above is pure bunk.

You conveniently left out who were predominately against black civil rights in the 60's. Hint: It wasn't Republicans. You conveniently left out that conservatives are against ILLEGAL immigration, not immigration. You conveniently left out that it the mainstream media (other than Fox News) has lot all credibility and flushed it down the toilet after this election. In other words, your narrative above has failed.

What you stated above is predominately responsible for why Trump is now president of the USA for the next four years. Progressivism has failed the world over. Rather, the Dems have NO platform on which to win over a large block of the electorate. I'm eagerly awaiting the first Democrat that comes out with one because there hasn't been one in years.

(Hint: Screaming at Wall Street, law enforcement, rural voters, etc... isn't a platform)

Keep wearing the identity politics label and again, see where it gets your political party in the future because right now, it has it at it's lowest ebb in recent modern history. You can give the lightbringer credit for that.
 
Why do the women march in the USA for "rights" when the rights of women in countries such as Saudi Arabia and other countries are being trampled on daily?

This is something I've seen often repeated, and it makes no sense. Exactly what do you mean here? Are you trying to state the everything is peachy-keen for women here in the USA? Are you trying to suggest that since women have it so bad in Saudi, absolutely no sexism/sexual assualt and other men-on-women crimes don't occur here in the US. Surely you're better than this: how about a real insight from you personally, not some saw-it-online, thought-it-clever and deserved repetition from the troll-comments on NTY or The Guardian. But I guess the fact that you've replied with a vapid rhetorical question about Saudi women in the context of white supremacists speaks volumes....about you, that is.

Oh, and I guarantee YOU had never heard of Bannon until the liberal narrative of "HE'S A WHITE SUPREMACIST !!!" was introduced.

I've heard of Bannon. I've been monitoring neo-nazi, white-supremecist, and other far-right websites for examples of scientific racism since about 1998. And to be fair here: Bannon is left of those organizations/websites that I just mentioned. But he tended to pop up every so often on some of these sites awhile back (not that this would constitute his endorsement of them).

More to the point, your point is pretty weak: imagine that a small boy in New Foundland had never heard of Hitler...would that make his heinousness any less relevant? What does "YOU have never heard of Bannon" have to do with the fact that he is part of an organization who's fundamental principles are an attractor for racists, homophobes, and sexists--something, as you know, he's admitted (and has been quoted verbatim on)? Bannon headed up Briebart News, as you know, a corporation that he specifically called "the platform of the alt-right."

And here's some more alt-right here, here, and here (please click on these links, and if you don't know what 14-88 is, then google it).

So you tell me me: what makes it acceptable in any way, shape, or form, that the advisor to the US president is even marginally associated with the dispicable views of the alt-right? I'm not saying you're defending him, but you're sure-as-sh1t aren't trying not to. And again, the fact that you've supplied a baffling rhetorical question about Bannon's perceived notoriety among liberals in the context of white supremacists speaks volumes about you.

What were you trying to accomplish in your last two posts? I'm truly puzzled.

Hi Bill

I've had and extraordinarily busy day and frankly I have more coming up so apologies that I can't respond in time to keep the conversation going.

Bunk? Really?

I was speaking in terms of progressive thought versus conservative thought...not in terms of party politics. The Democratic Party rightly turned it's back on the conservative South when they embraced the Civil Rights movement. Are they still paying for it today? Hell yeah they are, but it was the right thing to do. I hope you agree. I really do. I think the fact that they are still paying for that decision kind of speaks volumes though...there are folks who still believe that the Civil Rights Act was wrong. All men are created equal in America...the same constitution that gives folks the right to bear arms is the one that says that all men are equal.

Regarding immigration you are not actually being genuine. Conservatives have always railed against it. One of my best friends is an immigration attorney in the Bay Area. Her firm solely focuses on bringing in immigrants who are qualified to do jobs that the American education system simply isn't fulfilling demand. Individually she primarily works with Google. She has to jump through massive hoops to get engineers into the country to work and live. She simply can't meet the demand either because of our strict laws on the number that can enter. Frankly Americans are not meeting the demand of the tech world and immigrants are necessary for these companies to grow.

I reckon there is a much larger debate regarding entitlement in America/crap and lazy education...but that is a much larger and different discussion.

Regarding Fox...by your definition they play the identity politics game...you can't deny it...they staunchly pit Conservative thinking versus Progressive thinking. It's not even news...it's opinion...90% of the channel is focused on editorial 'journalism' that is fully focused on painting one narrative. I watch the channel frequently as it is a train wreck fear and hate that I simply can't stop watching. Their advantage is that they are the only ones pandering to conservatives. It's not in any way a legitimate source of news...it's opinion...conservative opinion. Not saying other places aren't doing the opposite.

Anyway, the Republicans were written off for dead not so long ago. If Trump continues to flat out tell bald face lies on the most petty of subjects, he will not expand his base...he will incite revolt. Revolt at the polls to keep him in check. The historic marches on Saturday will continue if he plans on trying to be a dictator who tries to filter out anyone who would oppose him. I hope you were cringing at his appearance at Langley in front of that hallowed wall. He has ignited a fire...I reckon he will fan the flames.
 
I finally just saw Spicer's press conference.

For God's sake build a bridge and get over it...the crowd was small for an inauguration. If this administration continues to focus on such petty stuff they will continue to lose confidence.

It's very weird and worrying how much a provable fact has pushed Trump off the ledge.

I feel sorry for Spicer...he's doing the bidding of a would be dictator...telling the media what they should be covering on day 1.

Disgraceful that was.
