It's imperative that White House press briefings are held in a public forum, broadcast live by news outlets so the American public can assess the actions our elected officials are taking and respond in a timely fashion when these actions are contrary to the public's well-being.
Why is this important?
We are all negatively impacted when our government acts in a secretive manner, and we all benefit when our government acts in a transparent and open manner, allowing for a healthy debate of today's most pressing issues.
