Outgoing White House press secretary Sarah Sanders is getting undue criticism because a reduction in daily briefings doesn't give TV reporters more personal airtime, a Sanders predecessor claimed Friday. WH PRESS SECRETARY SARAH SANDERS WILL LEAVE OFFICE BY THE END OF THE MONTH, TRUMP ANNOUNCES"As you saw with Sarah, she's out there ... all the time on camera, talking to the press," Spicer added. Spicer claimed that reporters prefer formal White House press briefings because, "They can make it about them." He and fellow guest Ari Fleischer -- who served as press secretary under former President George W. Bush -- added that the job of press secretary is so much more than just holding briefings and making public statements. Fleischer said a good press secretary is a "happy warrior" who is close to the president and will stand by him.
