*taps the sign* Main stream media is right wing

It's as though every media company with a member leading the WHCA has already surrendered and complied in advance. Due to their owners.

Little fascist bitches are looking for their own opportunity.

Pussies

What a great way to put it.

The American political media should simply cease to exist

Regulatory capture, after a fashion

They had to. Biden was old

Who's in charge of that right now?

I’m stuck in meetings—aren’t there European press in the room? Are they acting like professional journalists?

There is one lady with an East European accent who has twice used the Russian trope “root causes,” so we can assume she is Rootin’ for Putin.

Some of us also remember this starting under Reagan, when the media started prioritizing "access" over journalism.

They also put LaRouche operatives into the press pool.

But if they complained, the might *lose further access* 😩 Ubiquitous small-bore appeasement.

Maybe some of those bootlickers from the press pool will try real reporting.

The people that sign their paychecks don’t want them to protest

They've got all the time in the world to yell at Amber Ruffin but nothing for the trump adminstration's nonsense.

WHCA thinking preserving ANY access, even tightly controlled and manipulated access, is more important that accurate reporting on what's actually happening.

They’re probably too busy still being mad at Michelle Wolf.

Incompetent and complicit. Absolute scumbags.

Thinking WHCA's one real job may be to manufacture consent.

Chomskian censorship.

Hadn't thought of it that way before but you're right

I'm pretty sure they sent a Strongly Worded Letter at some point

Saving it for their book.

The media are complicit in this whole Trump term and ensuing fiasco!

Trump has successfully corrupted the media and the media paid him to do it. They sane wash, write misleading headlines, fail to fact check. Now they really are fake news.

They cared more about being able to say they work in the presidential palace and can go in the special room.

But that's the only way they can get access, get ridiculed and receive lies to their stupid, empty questions.

The White House Press Corps, it turns out, is like 100% unnecessary at this point.

The fact that the White House Correspondents Association felt free to disrespect a Black President and sucks up to a deranged white one says some very unpleasant things about the WHCA.

They had some of that disrespect for Biden too. They don't like Dems. Or their bosses don't like Dems. Same thing.

President Obama birthday party with Tom Hanks: "Obama's Hip-Hop BBQ Didn't Create Jobs" Also: "Faith voters" but not Black (most religious group) "Working class" luxury pickup truck owners but not POC "Elite" Democrats but not billionaires "Crime" before elections although lower in blue states

Damn right

Tapper was on the front line of that, tearing his shirt over his man boobs 🙄

Nope. Not a single one. We no longer have a Democracy. Our leadership have failed us by thinking this is ‘business as usual’ and not putting up a real fight to stop him.

Dem 2028 candidates need to openly talk about how RSBN and other propaganda outlets will not be in the press pool going forward.

The AP so far hasn't succeeded in the courts re its claim that its journalists have been wrongfully excluded from being part of various White House/Presidential press pools as a result of its continued description of the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of Mexico, rather than the Gulf of America. 1/2

2/2 What makes you believe that the WHCA will succeed when the AP has yet to prevail?

TACO

Trump hasn't chickened out re the AP's lawsuit. In fact, the court of appeals has so far allowed Trump's WH to exclude the AP whenever it chooses.

But if they complain about it they might lose their access!

They are hoping they get chosen and not sent to the cornfield by Don ‘Anthony Fremont’ Trump.

Corporate media serve corporate interests.

The WHCA need to be disbanded NOW.

Every President from Eisenhower through Obama, plus Biden, warned about this very thing. Including Nixon, Reagan, and both Bushes. Trump made it happen, and the WHCA let him do it.

Legacy media are accomplices.

COLLABORATORS

Criminal accessories

History will not look kindly on media from this era. Good news for them is that nobody will be writing the truth in the future anyway.

Maybe if a comedian made fun of Karoline Leavitt, it might wake them from their fascism sugar rush coma.

They are scared of Trump. They aren’t scared of Democrats. If Dems regain power, remember that.

All this after Alex Thompson chastised everyone for not talking about Biden before he stepped down. “I say this because acknowledging errors builds trust, and being defensive about them further erodes it” That trust you tried to build is being eroded again! www.yahoo.com/news/reporte...
