White House reporters are ​seething over a policy that requires them to submit quotes from interviews with Biden administration officials to the communications team for approval, editing or veto, according to a report on Tuesday. ​

The White House is demanding that reporters who conduct interviews with administration officials do so under conditions known as “background with ​quote approval,” Politico reported. ​

Imagine if Trump did this....

They will obey. They are good pets.

Do as you’re told, useful idiots.

Where are the journalists screaming, “why are you trying to subvert our democracy?” like they did at Trump and Kayleigh McEneny?

[proxy_user]

Well, there’s always the option of interviewing the opponents of the Biden administration and publishing what they say - no censorship here!

We are now Russia.

Smells like censorship of the Free Press, kinda like what a fascist totalitarian government would do.

Which bold and brave mainstream organization is going to fight The Power on this?

So?

I turned over a rock at the edge of the local cesspool yesterday, and found a "reporter".

[Don Corleone]

What first amendment? We don’t need no stinkin’ first amendment.

[eyeamok]

And the American Presstitutes lap it up like Dogs in Heat!

[Paladin2]

The White Basement is full of fascists, Jim.

[Jeff Chandler]

Democracy dies in dorkness.

[1Old Pro]

What’s surprising is that they can only manage 92% of the stories about Biden are positive, they must have enacted this policy to get it up to 100%.

[livius]

That was my first thought too.

Reporters"...to submit quotes from interviews with Biden administration officials to the communications team for approval, editing or veto, according to a report on Tuesday."

That is called TYRANNY! ​

[Red Badger]

Just like China.........................

Pravda.

You did mean Kayleigh McEnany....Man is she missed....
