(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.

The Bite me administration low balled the test price. They could have tripled the price and the fawning alphabets Newsies would have ponied up.

As someone who used to work in news, I can tell you that the media would be in a RAGE if Trump had done this. I attended a state news conference a few years ago, and every session/panel included reporters complaining about Trump being a “danger to the First Amendment.” The media are nothing more than Democrat cheerleaders.

It's the old Chinese test too:   "Line up, drop your pants, and bend over!"

Next up require no more verbal questions. Must text them to Sleepy and his censors get to select/edit the questions and perhaps the topics. Ain’t no hypocritical fool like a leftard one.

“Without taking the $170 test”

Someone is making a hell of a profit. The cost of the test is less than 50 bucks. All the rest is profit.

As soon as Blaze or Breitbart or One America News Network pays the $170 and gets their money's worth, they will!

The "Big Guy" needs some walking around money until his checks from China, Iran, Russia, etc. clear.

This is just like poll taxes, a pretext to denying access...

Same crooked party... Same crooked tactics.

The party of the oligarchs wants to keep the common people at a distance.

It will be interesting to see if some of the mainstream media folks are smart enough to figure out that they will be excluded by the elite. And if so, if they will be servile little slaves for their masters.

A way to raise money for the Demo-Socialist party and to keep “reporters” away from faux-president Biden.

Hey this is the Socialist States of America!

It should be based on the ability of the organization to pay.

CNN should be paying $1000 per test and OAN should be paying $20 per test.

It has to be that way to be fair.
