There was no White House coronavirus press conference on Saturday after President Trump expressed his disappointment with what he termed as the “lamestream” media. This comes after the White House has hosted over 50 press conferences to discuss the administration’s actions regarding the coronavirus pandemic.

“What is the purpose of having White House News Conferences when the Lamestream Media asks nothing but hostile questions, & then refuses to report the truth or facts accurately,” the President said on Twitter.

The daily meetings with the press have been the highlight of the country’s fight against the pandemic. It drew record ratings as the country wanted to know more about how the efforts to deal with the virus is going. There have been a few instances of the President having heated exchanges with the press but the briefings have been effective for the most part. However, the media seems to be unsatisfied with being unprofessional against the President and they stepped up on their attack against him.

The mainstream media went wild on their attack after the President asked about using disinfectant and ultraviolet light. That finally got the President frustrated in dealing with the media and he decided to not hold the conference on Saturday. It is not clear yet if there will no longer be any more press briefing or if it was just stopped for the weekends. The White House team is reportedly weighing the benefits of holding the meeting with the press and the importance of having the President preside over the conference.

The mainstream media is now attacking the President for not meeting with the press. Before that, a lot of them were questioning whether they should even cover the press briefings since it was getting record numbers and was giving the President a lot of press coverage. Now, they are attacking him for not facing the press and subjecting himself to their daily attacks.

The President is not backing down. He continues his attack against them on Twitter, saying that “the American people get nothing but Fake News. Not worth the time & effort!”
