Scaramucci Tames The Media In ‘Smooth' First Press Conference

[Daily Caller] Anthony Scaramucci made a positive impression with the media in his first press conference as White House communications director.

Scaramucci spoke confidently from the podium and made an effort to call on as many reporters as possible, before ending the press conference with an air kiss to the media. Many reporters described Scaramucci’s performance as "smooth," while others praised his comfortable speaking style.

"Anthony Scaramucci is showing here why President Trump picked him," The Boston Globe’s DC bureau chief Matt Viser noted. "Smooth and soft-spoken. Lighthearted and optimistic."

CNN anchor Dana Bash described Scaramucci as "smooth as silk as a talker."

"A very polished performance behind the podium from Scaramucci," observed the Washington Examiner’s chief political correspondent Byron York. "Rare in first 6 months of this [White House]."

US News and World Report senior politics writer David Catanese said, "IF Scaramucci is this calm and smooth six months from now, it’ll serve him, the president and the press very well."

"Anthony Scaramucci is having a very good, very smooth on-camera debut," said Washington Post reporter Ashley Parker.

#1 Because he went after the NYT with lawyers swinging sledgehammers. The rest of the scribblers feel like maybe they'll wait and see what happens to the next guy that crosses him. Even a flatworm turns away from pain.

#3 He can buy and sell the entire press corps, and some of their employers besides. He won't give the deep pocket lawyers a chance in hell to come after him.

#4 Tames the media? I dunno. Last night, Levin described this bunch of yapping dogs [the media] as acting like a bunch of "Dogs in heat."
