The White House has pulled the plug onź¦ŗ cameras in some of thš°eir press briefings so .
The cable network sent their ź¦”Supreme Court sketch artist over to the White House briefing room on Friday where Sean Spicer gave a off-camera briefing.
The artist, Bill Hšennessy, did not use his easel but stood in the back of the press room to provide an image to documešnt the affair.
The unusual move by CNN drew humor from someš online.
“Looks like @realDonaldTrump is creating even more jobs!” Michael Horne tweeted. “This time it’s the forgotten men and women sketch artist’s of America.”
Spicer said that the briefings don’t need to be broadcast, even though it has been a longstanding tradition in The White House.
“I think it’s great for us to come out here and have a substantive discussion about policies,” he said. “I don’t think that the be all and end all is whether it’s on television or not.”
