Biden’s White House Considering Banning Conservative Media from Press Briefings
Big League Politics ^ | 1/26/2021 | richard moorhead

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.

This is aimed primarily at Fox News, then Newsmax and OAN all 3 will eventually get kicked out....

Who cares, no one really pays attention to the daily press briefings...

Didn’t Jim Acosta sue over something like this?

That would have to CNN, NBC, MSNBC, ABC, NYT, WP, LAT, etc. all being banned that pushed the Russia hoax conspiracy.

They keep pushing. One day 1/6 will have been a church picnic compared to what may eventually happen.

I loved it when President Trump would call all them yokels out at the rallies.

Ah, good times.

yep, and the courts decided in his favor, even though he broke the rules!

Now Biden, wants to ban ALL conservatives, for no reason whatsoever?

Well, he’s also considering allowing them in, but they have to be bound and gagged AND wear two masks.

I’m sure if conservative media sues citing Acostas ruling they will side with conservative media right? Of course I’m being sarcastic

Yeah, but his little crybaby microphone fight with the female WH intern kinda helped.

This is not aimed at Fox. Breitbart and lesser known outlets will be targeted.

It was a “Trump judge” that ruled in CNN’s favor. When Breitbart gets booted no Democrat judge will rush to protect them. Guaranteed.

“They will have to throw out a large part of the current military. How do they think that will go over.”
__________________________________________________________

“They” want to disband the Army. They have said so. That’s just for starters. And they have no worry about how it will “go over”, they control the media and the election process.

“This is not aimed at Fox.”

That’s probably correct. They know the remaining conservative talking heads at FOX are temporary. FOX is tryin to save enough of its ratings to have some interest from advertisers so FOX is slow walking the purge.

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.

Beat me to it. I was just about to say the exact same thing.

Don’t be so sure, the media at several major networks are working to get them censored from Cable outlets, the #1 Conservative site in minds of many is Fox, Peter Doocey who is the reporter now does ask some pointed questions....

If they did get the boot, none of the major networks would come to their defense IMO....I could be wrong....

Wait, when Acosta at CNN had his credentials revoked, didn’t the courts rule he MUST be allowed back in? And wasn’t supposed to be a big freedom of the press thing?

LOL

Fox is controlled opposition and backed by a mainstream corp. They’ll leave them alone and bully the low hanging fruit like OAN and Breitbart.

Remember when that Federal Judge said Trump couldn't toss Acosta out of White House press briefings?

Anyone want to bet they will let Biden do it?
