I criticized here on FR that very bad move of banning journalists at White House press briefings, because it made Trump look weak. He should remain confrontational with them, not lazy-banning them according to typical Democrat Cancel-Culture doctrine. The president shot himself in the foot on this one. And now CNN, etc. are back victorious. All of this could have been easily averted. Sad. Even Fox News boycotted the White House concerning this issue.

Please Trump, remain confrontational. Don’t do lazy cancel-culture.

Another unforced error by DJT. The answer is simple. Do not call on them. Do not answer their questions.

DJT should announce that he’ll completely ignore any attempts by these Pravda wannabes to ask him a question. He should announce it writing...plain as day. Let’s see some Rat Party hack appointee of Osama Obama or The Big Guy try to force him to take their questions.

I would issue emails to news organizations and end live press conferences all together. Let them submit questions via email and receive answers in writing

Easy.

Pull a Joe Biden...

No more Presidential Press Conferences.

Congratulations. You won a court ordered pass to... nothing.

I thought the same thing at first.
But thinking a second time I see a problem in doing so.
Because if Democrats one day take control of the White House they will treat us the very same way… banning or ignoring all conservative journalists…

Here’s a Great Idea.

Trump offers Nick Shirley a Press Pass to the White House.
tries
Then if a Democrat ever tries to get his Press Pass revoked.

BLAMO, Instant KARMA.

They have already done that in the past, though, so it wouldn't be anything new for the Democrats.

Unless the conservative journalists are affiliated with an “approved” media outlet, I think we can count on that exclusion happening.
