Petty and stupid. Anti conservative (for the few who still care) and a waste of time.
I think in four years, Trumps second term is going to be summed up succinctly in the anacronym known as “FAFO”
She said it's a privilege and an honor to be invited into the Oval Office. Not every journalist is just extended this invite. The AP refused to acknowledge or agree with the reality that the US government officially considers the body of water formerly called the "Gulf of Mexico" as "Gulf of America".
There are plenty of news organizations that are happy to acknowledge a new reality and a name change. Why is the administration obligated to invite to the Oval Office those who won't acknowledge the Presidents policies as being legitimate?
i can't do her justice but here is the briefing: https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1eaKbWdlPdZGX
I like Trump but the “Gulf of America” thing is stupid.
I don’t remember them having a problem with being made to call biological men “ women,” or having to refer to a man as “she” even though it totally confused readers and distorted their understanding of what was being reported.
That's a laugh!!!
When did refusing to extend a privilege become a punishment?
I don’t have access to to the Oval Office, yet I was able to hear and see, in real time, everything that AP says that were not given the opportunity to hear.
They could have streamed the event on a whole host of different websites and they would not have “missed the opportunity to hear President Trump and Elon Musk explain……”
Bunch of disingenous hacks.
Emotionally speaking, it appears petty, but it certainly restores an attitude adjustment into marketing a new era for America, and a way back for returning American pride and strength to Americans, after a crushing view of herself under Obama’s Third Term of the Biden|Media warfare.
Trump’s true base appreciates it.
Media outlets need to speak the truth, Our spokesperson took the CNN gal Caitlin Collins to the woodshed on this question.
For the first time we are cramming sh@t sandwiches down our enemies throats. Can life get any better than this?
This is nothing but the butt hurt AP and their leftist buddies putting this forward as the reason. The press secretary shut this down today when asked, but of course the conspiracy theory media must play their game. Any wonder the media no longer has any credibility.
I have no idea why anyone would object to this name change. “America” can cover all of North America and Central America if needed.
What a joke!
Now ban all news orgs who refuse to say PRESIDENT Trump.
So many of those dirtbags refer to him only as Trump while they fellate ‘President Biden’, ‘Former President Clinton’ and ‘Former President Obama’.
Pam Bondi certainly knows how to slap ‘em down and put them in their place.
