I found Melissa Turley in Linkedin.

She graduated high school in 2008 and from George Washington U in 2012.

And is now Associate Director of International Events in the Office of the Spokesperson at the Department of State.

Maybe 25 years old, wow.

If there were any “journalists” left in that room, they should have all left when the Free Beacon was kicked out of the briefing. Unfortunately, American journalism died decades ago, and was replaced by court stenographers, too busy trying to collect the latest media release from senior government officials and curry favor.

I’m sure Mr. Lee of the AP did nothing to help his colleagues from the Free Beacon. What a surprise.

“It is not clear why the State Department referred the Free Beacon to Lee.”

Because Lee is the designated lapdog?

so they left voluntarily? They should have taken video of their reporters being dragged from the floor making a scene.

Our Glorious Leader only tolerates press that properly reports only his greatness.

Correction:

Not Melissa Turley.

should be Melissa Turkey!

Why many Americans despise this evil and phony administration!

Hurray for the Beacon!

I totally misread the headline as "FREE BACON".

I probably would have been rejected as well.

But I bet Netanyahu will know, before sundown. I hope he takes appropriate measures when the time is right.

“You’re not registered with the U.S. press,”

The words of a fascist government.

IIRC, Fox had an issue a while back, and amazingly, the other media supported them.

Ok - here it is - Liberal site Mediaite says Fox fibbed

The other networks insisted on Fox’s inclusion on the basis of their mutual pool arrangement, not as some show of solidarity.

Exactly!

They are nothing but little control freaks that cannot handle any sort of criticism.
