One veteran White House reporter told The Post, “How many acts of petty blacklisting does this White House have to commit against accredited members of the news media before a consensus forms that President Biden is neither a champion of a free press, as he so frequently claims, nor a man of decency, as his supporters claim on his behalf?”

How can a President that has avoided for 2 years a real freewheeling press conference for hours without a call on list be a champion of a free press?

I'll bet the party was filled with blond bimbos... and pretentious 'men'.

And the soy eggnog was a huge hit.

Many companies quit doing Christmas parties due to liability issues for alcohol served.

Many now give out certificates for a turkey with a local grocery.

The holiday fests are prized perks of the beat for media that cover the White House because attendees can bring a guest and usually score a photograph with the president while sipping eggnog in the grand rooms on the main floor of the White House.

30 or 40 years ago, such an attempt to suck up to those in power would have *not* been the goal of journalists; which is to say actual journalists. Now, with few exceptions, what gets labeled a “journalist” is nothing more than a PR flack for the DNC. You can now just about count the number of independent journalists on one hand.

There is no act of depravity and hatefulness and pettiness and intentional undermining of civic principles that this White House can engage in that will cause his supporters to prefer a Nazi (i.e. Trump, in how they see him). So if that is what people here are hoping, an “I’ve had enough” moment, it is not going to come.

Office Christmas party-
For 364 days you can’t stand the weasel backstabbers you are in close proximity for 50 hrs./ week minimum and all the lying, backstabbing, delay games, and general sand in the gear project management which occurs. Then by some diktat, all is forgotten and comity reigns or 1 day? Sorry, I would just as soon be consistent-

Was told I had a bad attitude when I informed someone re: this sentiment

“Biden is and always been a petty, small minded and vindictive man. I would expect nothing less from him.”

“Fire that prosecuting attorney or you won’t get that million dollars!” “And they fired the SOB!” (or words to that effect)

If reporters want their pictures taken with senile old men they should visit the local nursing home dementia wings.

Oh I can: supervisors and managers at the Defense Contract Audit Agency, the most humorless and obtuse people I have ever known.

That’s about my feeling. I live local but have worked from home for about 5 years. I don’t even know most of my “colleagues” anymore and there’s only one I actually consider a friend.

It’s Biden’s party and the invitations are not an entitlement.

Let’s remember this for 2025 when a Republican takes over the White Hut.

His handlers cant allow him to interact with press unscripted and without moderation.
They might actually see the real Joe.
