Briefings could be restricted to mainstream media?
President Joe Biden’s press team may move to restrict the briefings held at the White House to liberal mainstream media outlets, if language from the new President’s deputy press secretary if more than just talk.
“Organizations or individuals who traffic in conspiracy theories, propaganda and lies to spread disinformation will not be tolerated,” TJ Ducklo, Biden’s deputy press secretary, said in a statement to Politico, “and we’ll work with the WHCA to decide how to handle those instances moving forward.”
Given liberal media figures’ extremely wide-ranging definition of “disinformation,” it appears possible to likely that any journalist or reporter who is critical of Biden policies “will not be tolerated” at the White House.

President Trump had accredited journalists from outlets such as Breitbart and One America News Network during his time in office, and Ducklo’s language suggests the press credentials of such organizations may be revoked. Biden himself has chafed over question regarding his son’s corrupt foreign business dealings, calling Fox News’ Peter Doocy a “one horse pony” for daring to ask about an ongoing Department of Justice investigation into Hunter Biden.

Why would the Conservative Media want to go there anyway
Notice, it’s not biden.
If President Trump had done that, the weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth would have been apoplectic.
Dang. We should have done all that stuff to them first. They are going full fascist faster than Joe can stop a pipeline.
How very.... Red Chinese.... of them.
Sounds like Fox is safe....
Of course. Joseph the Usurper’s handlers don’t want him to face tough, pointed questions.
DO IT..When a republican gets back in no liberal media will be allowed and the dems set the precedent.....
They’ve thrown out free speech on the online platforms anyway, they do the same with the print and other media. They are trying to put conservative media out of business and trying to outlaw them. They are doing away with free speech altogether, as quickly as they can. This is not a legitimate or Constitutional government and it is without representation of the majority of the public.
“Organizations or individuals who traffic in conspiracy theories, propaganda and lies to spread disinformation will not be tolerated,”
Like RUSSIAN COLLUSION??
OK then. So I take it they are going to ban CNN, MSDNC, The NYT, WaPo, ABC, CBS, NBA, The AP etc then right?
Just kidding.
Chuckle.
Say, didn't CNN sue when they got banned for rudeness, propaganda gross abuse of privileges, disinformation and all of the above?
They are quickly ensuring that no conservative will ever be elected again. So, there will be no republican in office in the future if they are not taken to task.

They will have to throw out a large part of the current military. How do they think that will go over.
Remember the White House tried to revoke Acosta’s press pass to WH briefings. CNN sued and the court upheld Acosta’s “right” to attend the briefings. Seems like the left set the precedent, so if any conservative news outlet is denied access, file a law suit.
“Organizations or individuals who traffic in conspiracy theories, propaganda and lies to spread disinformation will not be tolerated.”
So, basically, no news organization will be allowed into the WH press briefings.
Surely you jest. Just because Democrats get away with doing something, there is always a lofty reason why Republicans cannot do the same thing. President Trump tried to have Jim Acosta not be allowed into the pressroom. CNN took Trump to court and won.
Stick to Zoom meetings. Confidential and by invitation only.
That's status quo.
The government does not answer to the people. Pretty simple. The vote has long been illusory power.
