Seething U.S. Journalists Angered About Taking Commercial Flights To Cover Secretary Tillerson in Asia
A Reuters filing en route to Asia showcases the bitterness, anger and seething rage of U.S. journalists who have been forced to fly First-Class Commercial to cover Secretary of State Rex Tillersons Asia trip.
State Department correspondents are used to the exclusive wide-body private charters of the U.S. federal governments airline fleet. Previous heads of the Department of State have flown aboard Air Force 3. Normally a Boeing 757. At the very worst Air Force 3 would be a C17 Globemaster.
However, T-Rex is taking a smaller jet to Asia and only one journalist accompanies him. To make matters exponentially worse, T-Rex did not select a journalist from the corporate stable of the refined and pedigreed media elites. We can only imagine how Andrea Mitchell must be seething at having to take simple first-class commercial flight accommodations with ordinary people. The scope of the almost unimaginable horror she has to face will soon pour from her pursed and vengeful lips. We can predict a retaliatory report soon from the wrath of the ignored elitist within NBC. This shall be, as they say, epic.
Secretary Tillerson has rebuked customs and norms. The traveling correspondents will have to pass through customs and passport checks as if they are ordinary travelers. There is a very real possibility no-one will recognize them or care diligently for their very individual and specific needs.

They’re whining about taking FIRST-CLASS??? It better not be on the government’s (our) dime!
3rd picture: Side o’beef body, with a chipmunk head....
Maybe they’ll actually start reporting on the tyranny of the TSA now.
First Class Cathay Pacific:
What? The Pelosi party plane is not available?
Theyre whining about taking FIRST-CLASS???
The new organizations are supposed to be losing money. Why would they pay for their employees to fly First Class???
I like the second photo in which Hillary is inserting a brain implant into the reporter’s head.
That whining bunch of pussies should be shot in my opinion. Nothing guarantees them the right to take a ride on my and your dime.
Really, angry about having to fly first class. Try coach next time.
Well Boo F***ing Hoo!
Let them eat cake
My guess is that other than NYT/WaPo Reporters...I doubt if anyone gets first-class commercial tickets. They will ride with the tourist-class. A round-trip ticket like this in business-class would run $3,500 for Tillerson’s tour.
winning when they’re whining.
Looks like a drunken party trip....
Make those companies pay for the travel.
My first thought. I avoid flying and will drive for days because of the TSA - Thieves, Sexual Assaulters.
Why not just hire a local video crew and telecommute?
Can these “travelers” make it through the TSA pat-down experience?
Who checks their carry-ons and cell phone passwords?
Powerless to attack President Trump more than do now under current circumstances, miffed media bloggers vowed to get even by adding an extra hour to each day so they can attack Trump 25x7 instead of just a measly 24x7.
did not select a journalist from the corporate stable of the refined and pedigreed media elites.
That summed them up perfectly.
