(Starting Monday) Biden Admin to Charge Reporters $170 Every Time They Go to a Briefing
GP ^ | February 27, 2021 | Cassandra Fairbanks

The mainstream media goons who shrieked and moaned about a “free press” during the Trump administration are pretty mum after the Biden admin announced that they will be charging reporters for their COVID tests every time they enter the building.

Without taking the $170 test, reporters will not be allowed to enter the building to go to press briefings.

The Washington Post reported on Friday that the White House is seeking to put the new charges in place on Monday.

Charges this high would make it much harder for smaller and independent outlets to get into the briefings, which would make corporate media shills dominate the room even harder than they already do.

I think this is not about taking a Covid test every time they enter the press briefing. This is about the press secretary avoiding questions for Biden's actions as his health deteriorates.

It’s more likely about keeping small organizations, like the Blaze or Breitbart or other conservative outlets, out.

Which is exactly what they want the outcome to be.

It’s not just about the actual briefing. It’s about WH access and info they get on the side. Dems want to cut that off and only allow the party line.

Even leftist media outlets have to be wondering if they really want to pay $170 a pop for their reporters to hear Jen Psaki say she’ll “circle back on that.”

I do believe if I were one of the independent journalists and I paid this $170, I’d make damned sure I got my $170 worth...

Yes! Remember when Trump kicked Jim Acosta out of the press briefings and a judge ruled that it was unconstitutional to do that so thy had to let him back in?

There is no Biden Admin., nor Harris Admin.

There is not, nor was there, any “insurrection” on the 6th of January.

There is: the progressives’ tyrannical inquisition; and, like inquisitions, the inquistory powers have found the inquisitors de jeur.

There is no alleged “strength” in “diversity” to defend the next meal from the inquisitors.

Had the taxpayers been paying for these tests?

I think this is not about taking a Covid test every time they enter the press briefing.

I think it's about some Gateway Punjab trash.
