In moments like last week's attack on Iran, it's glaring that there are no press briefings held anymore. I know when Sarah Sanders was in there, it was a lie-apalooza, but at least the White House had to answer for their behavior.
The White House received a letter yesterday from former press aides urging them to return to the old practice.
They refused. Amazingly, Fox News, which is supposed to be part of the press, is cheering on the decision.
