A Quote by Dee Dee Myers

My job is to be a spokesman - the spokesman, I suppose - for the President, for the White House, to do the daily briefings, to manage the press corps in terms of travel, day-to-day needs, access, interviews, all those issues.

Reporters are always supposed to be demanding more access and more transparency. So the day that there isn't some friction between the White House press corps and the White House is the day that somebody in the press corps is not doing their job.

Josh Earnest

All my stories were usually titled, 'White House Says,' 'President Bush Wants,' and I relied on transcripts from the briefings. I relied on press releases that were sent to the press for the purpose of accurately portraying what the White House believed or wanted.

Jeff Gannon

I would say that President Roosevelt probably was more intimately in touch with the press corps at the White House than President Truman was.

Clifton Daniel

I'm done with my job. It was my job to be the advocate and spokesman for the President of the United States.

Scott McClellan

We're never going to satisfy the White House press corps and their desires for access. And I think there have been mistakes made in the past of trying to do that.

Jen Psaki

As poet laureate, I was asked to be a spokesman for literature. Then what I decided is I am a spokesman for this other imagination of community - not the one showing up in the market. Nobody was tending to the way we're imaginatively connected to each other.

Robert Hass

Sometimes at night, when I leave and ride by the front of the White House and the lights are on, it is so beautiful, I have some sense of, 'Hey, that's where I work, and Jimmy is President now.' But day in and day out, it's a job.

Hamilton Jordan

President Obama spent Election Day away from any press coverage, attending closed-door meetings inside the White House. But on the bright side, it is nice to see some doors actually closed at the White House. It's a whole new Secret Service security thing.

Jimmy Fallon

The White House press corps isn't there at a press briefing. It's not... They're not news gatherers there. There really isn't any media.

Rush Limbaugh

The spokesman at Newcastle, unfortunately, was mainly me. I had to manage the football club.

Alan Pardew

One of the principles of White House coverage is that a wide variety of news outlets should be represented at briefings and press conferences.

Brian Stelter

The office of Speaker is almost as ancient as Parliament itself. It emerged in the Middle Ages when the Commons - the ordinary people - of England needed a spokesman in their dealings with the King, someone who would voice their grievances and present their petitions. This was by no means a safe or easy thing to do at that time, and potential spokesman generally had to be pressured into accepting the responsibility.

John Allen Fraser

Trump flourishes the more the White House press corps is riddled with political activists posing as journalists. But the country might fare better with more informed questions from reporters able to think through issues less politically.

Mollie Hemingway

I would never say, as a member of the press, that there should be fewer press briefings. The more access, the better, no matter who is there or what's going on.

Dana Bash

Let's just be clear here. The vice president of the United States accidentally shoots a man, and he feels that it's appropriate for a ranch owner who witnessed this to tell the local Corpus Christi newspaper and not the White House press corps at large, or notify the public in a national way.

David Gregory

Being spokesman for a generation is the worst job I ever had.

Billy Bragg
