mean to describe health care. what we re hearing from the administration when they try to push back on these news reports are not what at the end of the day they come out with. washington post, unnamed former obama official. anonymous source. now they re leaning on that. a desperate search in columbia. 31 people are missing that have tourist boat capsized and sank in this reservoir. six people at least have died. one report telling cnn there were no lifevests on board. what caused the deadly accident, unclear at this time. two big questions on the last day of its term. one concerns the trump travel ban. two circuit courts have blocked it. if they take the appeal they haven t decided yet the justices could allow the government to enforce the ban until it hears the case. the other is justice anthony
flustered and it turns into something as opposed to saying what we sought recently. shannon: years ago, we didn t have these daily briefings. they are definitely a newer development that we have. yes, the press wants them. as you said, it s material for the rest of the day because it doesn t even matter if they get the answer they want. then they have the back and forth where they are in the shot, spicer is in the shot, look at how he will give us an answer, that is material for them. kennedy: if they don t get an answer from sean spicer, they can use our anonymous source. the melissa: i want to qualify the spirit they are saying your material, they ll say yes, we want the truth, we want answers. i think that s disingenuous. they are looking for the fight in a lot of cases because it makes more interesting television. anthony: the mainstream media is hostile towards the president so he needs this as a counter communication strategy
