Although former CNN anchor Jim Acosta has called for reporters to protest the punitive action against AP by boycotting the White House via his Substack, there have been few signs of the press banding together from major news organizations.
.
.
“We’re seeing no resistance,” Jarvis said. “Shouldn’t journalists stand up for each other? I think the strongest action would be for the entire decent press corps to walk out of the press room.”

Shouldn’t journalists stand up for each other? 1) You and your leftists ilk are not journalists.
2) your paymasters' funding is drying up
3) There are thousands waiting for any open seat

Many of the organizations the fake journalist work for have extremely low ratings. Almost nobody watches or reads them. If the stopped going to press conferences, nobody would miss them. They’d have have to get their news second hand. A boycott would be the final nail their corporate coffin

You betcha! Y’all “journalists” are a MOVEMENT, by gum! Be a good hard solid movement! When you pass, make those a-holes that are holding you back strain ‘til their eyes cross! To heck with that watery, loosey-goosey stinky coalition you’ve got now. You need some FIBER in ya!

Mr. President, I will happily serve as a citizen journalist from NYS if you’ve got a spare seat going begging in the press room.
I’d love to do that.
And I’ll bet I’m not alone.

We will be a lot better off.
Without their lying reporters at the white house.

"I think the strongest action would be for the entire decent press corps to walk out of the press room.”
If they leave, then someone will take their place and become relevant.
This president is a lot different than the last one. Trump talks to the press almost every day. The slobbering invalid who preceded him maybe engaged with them once every three months.

I nominate Chanel Rion of One America News.
They made her stand way in the back. But she knew her stuff and when called, she asked penetrating questions

AP, even in our local newspaper here in Mentor Ohio, injects WOC opinion in regular news items.

The “entire decent press corps” would fit into a telephone booth (if a telephone booth could be found).
