Beware of the deposits from the winged swine... and now might be a good time to set up a skate shop in Hades. Tapper’s days at the WH numbered after this?

I guess since the WH doesn’t ‘control’ FOX News, they’ve decided to ‘bypass that filter’.

Jake Tapper is (IMO) one of the very few true journalists in the WH press corps.

Wouldn’t it be interesting if the other news organizations suddenly realized that there are viewers (and therefore $$$$$) for news organizations that ask tough cynical queations of a shaky communist administration — and demanded that more Jake Tappers step up to the plate?

If that were to happen, the look on Gibb’s gay little pink face would be precious. And Axholerod would blow a bearing.

And Bambi would be finished.

So the pontificating pansy of the podium got slapped down?

Sweet!

Tapper is trying to explain this to his colleagues.

Too many of his colleagues are so partisan that they don’t see the slippery slope the are riding on.

It’s a short trip from the current level of criticism to the revocation of White House press credentials. The Fox war is about government control of the press.

lol.

WH knows the vast majority of the media will fall into line and follow orders.

When ABC starts defending Fox News you know the White House is in trouble

The real question is:

If Fox News is not a real news organization, then why hasn't the White House pulled their press credentials? Why is Major Garrett still coming to the daily briefings?

Can you explain why it’s appropriate for the White House to decide that a news organization is not one?

Because unlike you guys, they carry big news stories that we tell all of you to ignore.

While I don't think that Fox News is a strikingly conservative news organization, they are the only alternative news source to millions of people that do not have an online source. If the administration can silence them, they will have a free rein to feed their agenda to the masses via the MSM.

This is the approach that all of the major dictators used to keep the people that were about to be crushed in enlightened darkness. We are about in the same place that the Chinese were before Mao killed 80 million or so of the population, and about in the same place the Russians were before Stalin eliminated 50 or 60 million of his countrymen. I wonder if anyone that died under the 3rd Reich brutality thought that they would be safe if only they kept silent when Hitler started his pompous strutting? Does anyone think that this Kenyan and his henchmen will hesitate to kill 50 or 100 million of us when it suits their purpose?

Jake, Jake, Jake.

When an overtly aggressive government decides what words mean and what terms mean, it won’t be long before the are saying MSNBC, CNN and even ABC do meet the criteria for being a news organization, under terms the White House spells out.

The word for today is: “SUBJECTIVE”

This is the sort of public display of lack of confidence in the coup that usually causes a Reichstag Fire-level event.

The event's purpose will be to bring focus back to the manufactured agenda, e.g. health control and carbon taxes.

We're about to lose a city, or the equivalent.

This regime cannot afford attention to be focused on itself.
