White House press corps demands end to Biden event restrictions
NY Post ^ | July 1, 2022

A group of 68 journalists sent a rare protest letter to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre Thursday asking that President Biden’s staff abandon a mysterious pre-screening process and reopen large events to all journalists.

TV correspondents, famed veteran reporters and leaders of the White House Correspondents’ Association rallied behind the call to end year-old restrictions on venues such as the East Room that in past administrations were “open press.”

Biden aides have refused to tell the Correspondents’ Association the selection criteria for presidential events and individual reporters have received an array of conflicting explanations, resulting in a widespread belief that the practice is meant to shape the variety of questions presented to the president.

resulting in a widespread well-founded belief that the practice is meant to shape the variety of questions presented to the president.

Fixed the misspelling.

The whores aren’t liking being treated like the whores they are. And the White House knows they can treat them any way they want and they will STILL repeat what they’re told to repeat.

I don’t know why the Biden Administration has these restrictions. Alzheimer’s Joe could forget what country he is in and drool at the press conference and the liberal media would find a way to report how effective and smart he is.

I doubt if this letter will do any good. There’s too much to lose by allowing the press free access to Biden. Anyway, here we see a White House staff member getting a “journalist” in position for Biden’s next press conference.

Ha! They have no business complaining about it, as they very actively aided and abetted the entire fraud/scam that is the Brandon presidency.

Imagine if Trump was limiting press access to his conferences.

“a widespread belief that the practice is meant to shape the variety of questions presented to the president.”

++++++++++++++++++

Oh you know that’s the reason - the illegitimate and demented FJB can’t handle anything that’s not TIGHTLY controlled and scripted. One of these days, he’s going to “break bad” when they can’t hide it ... think Hildabeast being dragged/tossed into the Scooby Van like a ‘side of beef’ that someone caught on their phone.

Surprised it took so long.

Burden always reminds me of the story The Emperor’s New Clothes. For those who haven’t read it in a while, here’s a link.

“Thank you everybody let’s go. Comeone people let’s go.”

A typical impromptu Boden press event.

For Biden, this is humiliating, to be growled at by your own lapdog.

FJB is such an idiot. In addition, he feeble minded and frequently forgets why and where he is.

Given that, it’s obvious why the press corps don’t like the current situation where FJB has limited access to the press.

Journalists are slow on the up tick of when you pimp something you should get something in return.
