The White House press secretary said the administration is not out to make “stars out of people that want to become contributors on CNN.”

After President Donald Trump’s recent tweet justifying the infrequency of White House press briefings, his press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders criticized some reporters’ decorum.

In an interview on “Fox & Friends” on Wednesday, she suggested that reporters often seek to boost their profiles during the briefings.
