Holding a press conference means that the message gets filtered through media companies with their own agendas (OAN or CNN; pick your poison).

The Internet is meant to dis-intermediate communication. That is its purpose. It's one of the things that makes it such a disruptive change over legacy media platforms. The current de-platforming trend is an attempt to put that genie back in the bottle.

I love how you ignore the last 3 words of the comment.
