(Starting Monday) Biden Admin to Charge Reporters $170 Every Time They Go to a Briefing

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.

To be fair and woke, should minority reporters be allowed in for free or at reduced cost? And shouldn’t they be seated in front and be allowed to have up to 5 follow up questions.

The White House is running this like a good ol’ boys club and seem very insensitive to people of color. There should be an investigation and hearings into this.

They’d be better off spending the $170 on a cover charge at a strip club and just make up some silly crap for their evening fake news feed.

Right. White House did not like your reporting. Oh and you failed the COVID-19 test. That will be $170!

How screwed up is the press? The media hated Trump and he didn't charge a dime for briefings. The media loves Biden and he starts charging them money to attend. Stupid Democrats.

Minorities and small media companies hurt most. There should be an investigation!

In related news, the White House said (Have you ever heard a building speak?) that they would be implementing the new Chinese COVID-19 test.

The one willingly accepted by the US diplomatic corps in China.
