Um, are television companies not private in the U.S.?
Do you regularly check the White House website?
Would it be appropriate to make ordinary statements on an emergency broadcast?
This is just completely ludicrous. Broadcasting where there are no listeners is useless.
- fredophile 6y agoMaybe they could gather the media into one room in the White House and tell them all the things the President wants them to know. I bet reporters would show up every day to something like that.
- emteycz 6y agoPerhaps the president wants a more direct mode of communication? I bet that has better response with the public.
- fredophile 6y agoI'm sure he does want that but he's not entitled to it. If he wants to use Twitter he should follow the same ToS as everyone else. If he doesn't like them he can use something else.
