White House press secretary Sarah Sanders outside the West Wing of the White House on May 8. By Erik Wemple Erik Wemple Media critic with a focus on the ups and downs and downs of the cable-news industry. Email Bio Follow Media critic May 22 at 4:14 PM White House press secretary Sarah Sanders didn’t make much news Wednesday morning when she spoke with the “Fox & Friends” crew about current affairs.
During the ongoing no-briefing skid, Sanders has appeared at least 12 times on various Fox News programs, as follows: March 12 , March 25 , April 2 , April 4 , April 14 , April 18 , April 22 , April 29 , May 2 , May 4 , May 16 and May 22 . Sanders has also appeared on NBC’s “Today” and ABC News’s “Good Morning America,” as well as CNN, CBS News and Sinclair.
Fox News host Sean Hannity helped Sanders make this particular controversy vanish, at least for Fox News viewers.

Apparently Watters hadn’t realized that Sanders had stopped doing briefings, because he asked this question: Bolding added to highlight another lie: The White House Correspondents’ Association, and plenty of other voices, have urged Sanders to relaunch regular briefings. The response has been more Fox News appearances.
