They should have a sign at the entrance of the White House Press Room: “Please Check Your Personality Disorder at the Door.”.....Either that or Dante’s epochal “Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch’intrate”—“Abandon hope all ye who enter here.”
The assorted paleo-virtue signalers and candidates for anger management training that comprise the White House press corps have, as if it were possible, humiliated themselves more than ever, almost beyond recognition.
To say they are more interested in scoring points against the president than eliciting information or even improving the precarious health and economic situations of their fellow Americans is close to the understatement of the year.
(Not that it matters. Calling someone a “racist” these days is about as meaningful as calling a classmate “doo-doo head” in nursery school.)

Trump doesn’t have a problem calling anyone out. He’s a real New Yorker. None of these aholes in the media have ever been talked to like this and they don’t like it. It’s way past time they were. Reagan used to go back at them but Clinton and Bush and Obama kissed their butts. Trump is the new sheriff in town.
They are all still in “coup” mode.
It depends upon where it comes from.
Members of the Coronavirus Task Force Hold a Press Briefing Mar 21, 2020
I got my email notice about this briefing but a couple of days ago I got none for the WH briefing, neither the live stream or the regular video later. Not sure if the problem was with the WH or with Youtube. Sure can't trust Youtube.
