We’re still waiting for Creepy Joe to have a major press conference.
....mandating that reporters work for “an organization whose principal business is news dissemination.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just based on that single criterion, who qualifies? Setting aside the issue of which organization is a willing lapdog propogandist and which is not, does that let any of the alphabet networks into the briefing room?
‘Principal business’ means over 50% of some metric such as number of people employed, revenue etc. Alternatively, I suppose a case could be made that of the various ‘business products’ they sell, ‘news dissemination’ is the largest one....that might allow an organization to be under 50% with their news product if all their other products are smaller. This will of course be quite arbitrary and no lapdog will every be queried by the White Hut about how they met any criteria.
Why? Because Trump believes in a free press and Biden has the soul of a totalitarian thug. Lucky for Biden most smart journalists were drummed out years ago...
Back when he was a good guy, Matt Drudge said he made more money than ABC News, CBS News, and NBC News combined. I took that to mean that the news divisions lost money and the entertainment division was the part that kept them afloat.
Seems to be update on this story NY Post is barred from attending Biden presser.
