You'll get some lefties like Suits complaining "NOO YOU CAN'T DO THAT TO THE PRESS. THEY ARE FRIENDS OF THE PEOPLE, HE IS JUST LIKE HITLER" but who cares.
If you think that, you've obviously constructed an unassailable echo-chamber around yourself.
I lean left for two reasons:
- I believe in creating solutions, rather than trying to live in the past
- I'd be embarrassed to be associated with modern day Republicans
However, I do have some extremely left-leaning acquaintances who eagerly embrace leftist doctrine. But even they, at least the well-informed ones, are disgusted by the extremely biased, anti-Trump reporting that has occurred over the last several years.
There's probably a massive contingent of people on the left who wouldn't give a damn if White House press briefings were permanently cancelled, just so long as the press was free to continue to investigate and report.
White House press briefings aren't constitutionally required -- they're just a gesture of good faith and largely unnecessary in this day and age, given the Internet.
