The New York Post revealed Monday that The White House is blocking its reporters from attending Joe Biden’s public appearances, suggesting that it is doing so in retaliation for the outlet reporting on “his relatives’ foreign dealings.”
The New York Post reported that despite there being 20 empty seats in the South Court Auditorium on Monday at Biden’s only public appearance, the outlet’s request for a press credential was denied.
Today's cover: White House bans The Post from Biden event as Hunter indictment looms

The Newspaper intimated that it was due to it being at the forefront of reporting on the Hunter Biden laptop and shady foreign money deals.
Biden appeared Monday with Transport Secretary Pete Buttigieg to gibber through comments on flight delays and cancelations.
The Post reports:
The White House press office barred The Post from attending President Biden’s only daytime public event Monday as federal prosecutors near a decision on criminally charging first son Hunter Biden for tax fraud and other crimes.
The Post has closely covered the president’s ties to his relatives’ foreign dealings and first reported in October 2020 on files from Hunter’s abandoned laptop that link Joe Biden to ventures in China and Ukraine.
Biden, who falsely characterized The Post’s reporting as Russian disinformation, appeared with Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to talk about airline policies in the White House-adjacent Eisenhower Executive Office Building
In a Monday email, White House staff informed The Post: “We are unable to accommodate your credential request to attend the Investing in Airline Accountability Remarks on 5/8. The remarks will be live-streamed and can be viewed at WH.gov. Thank you for understanding. We will let you know if a credential becomes available.”
The email does not claim that the exclusion is due to “space limitations” — an excuse that was used until recently to justify the press office’s mysterious prescreening of reporters let into large presidential events, which under past administrations were open to all journalists on White House grounds.
It is odd that Biden’s handlers would bar the New York Post or any press from events, given that he never answers any questions anyway, with Monday being no different:

i dont remember the wash compost being banned from anything during watergate
Jim Acosta is ecstatic.........................
I read the Post every day. I enjoy their coverage of the codger’s corruption
Hell no, it was their show!! I would love to see this steaming pile of crap under a full broadside from an inquisitive press. Only downside would be a heated pile of crap smells really bad.
RE: Jim Acosta is ecstatic.........................
I haven’t seen much of him since Biden got fraudulently elected.
All the NY Post has to do is use independent contract reporters with credentials
Exactly.
Clear Violation of the First Amendment - Freedom of the Press. Hey NY Post - sue these corrupt anti-constitutionalists right now!
From WIKI:
In January 2021, CNN announced that Acosta would move to chief domestic correspondent and weekend anchor. The moves aligned with the incoming Biden administration.
Why aren’t their media brethren protesting like they did Trump when he banned certain news outlets?
Trump tried to ban one abusive reporter and all hell broke loose. Biden bans an entire news org and yawn
Nixon barred the Washington Post Style editor from some WH functions and the howl over press censorship went so high and far that the Administration backed off. Its usually when a political “leader” is in real trouble, and I use that term very loosely with Senile, that they lash out like this. I am looking forward to the Rs press conference tomorrow when they provide evidence of the bribery of the Biden family by foreign governments in return for policy changes that screw the average American.
Well the FBI is supposed to respond by tomorrow providing that evidence. I suspect they may indict Hunter and use that as the reason they can’t turn over the evidence they sat on for over 5 years.
Make it a lawsuit in the $50 million or so range-—applicable to BIDEN and ONLY BIDEN.,
NOT to be paid by taxpayers.
WHY is there even a “Press Secretary”???
Remember when Trump did that to Acosta and all the liberals went ape $hit. Biden does it to a whole newspaper and not a word. No threat to democracy. All is good.
When over the bombing target...expect the Flack to intensify.
Wonder why he did that the NY Post has TDS they pimp about every day?.
