16. Press briefings are rarely the source of news anyway

unless there is an event unfolding like a military action or, say, a pandemic in which we would expect an actual briefing from experts in a Democratic administration. Otherwise, they're like parliamentary Question Periods in certain governments whose purpose is to hold the government in power accountable. So when you have a lying administration that's accountable to no one, the only news that comes out is how ineffective press briefings are.

Just my HO.
