Does Gibbs, then, have a press conference every day

[question everything]

regardless of any breaking news?

1. I think there always has been a WH press briefing every day, hasn't there? It might

not always be televised, but I thought that was the case.

2. You are correct. The press secretary gives a daily briefing. It's not a Gibbs thing. n/t

[question everything]

3. Thanks. Perhaps the difference then, is that it was not always televised

but then, what could Ari Fleischer and the rest of them say that would have a meaning?

4. I actually liked the press briefings better in the Bush era, as far as pure entertainment value.

:evilgrin:


In any case, I honestly can't say whether they were all televised back then. I'd imagine they all certainly were taped, but that the footage wasn't necessarily aired every time.

5. Leroy Jethro Gibbs does not give press briefings.

6. Why are you calling Robert Gibbs "Leroy Jethro Gibbs"? (nm)

8. I keep thinking of Gibbs from NCIS

7. Gibbs doesn't have a formal or "official" White House briefing every day.

There are usually none on weekends or days when he is traveling with Obama.
