WHCA condemns ‘unacceptable’ escalation as White House bars AP from press conference

The Hill ^

[TigerClaws]

Taxpayer funded propaganda to manipulate U.S. public opinion. AP, Reuters, NYT, Politico = all funded by looted tax money. Trump needs to sue to clawback the cash.

[traditional2]

I think some D.C. Judge will get Reuters back into the Press Briefings, but Karoline will just ignore their questions.

The other major move, I think, was when Security Clearances were removed from known leakers of Classified info (to the press), and more Security Clearance cancellations will be coming, soon, I hope.

These fools lack a fundamental understanding of Freedom of the Press.

The outlet, which establishes editorial standards for journalism...

I may see the problem.

Where crying asian woman?

[Enterprise]

Any of these news organizations which have received money from USAID should be banned for the duration of Trump’s Presidency.

1. The better position would have been for the WH to just start ignoring any AP representative.

2. The AP does not have to be present at the WH briefing to report the news, since the AP also uses other news sources, with attribution, for its reports.

“but Karoline will just ignore their questions.”

Have you been looking at these orders? The judge will order where the reporter must sit and how many questions he/she must be allowed.

[shelterguy]

If they are required to allow every journalist into the room then........they are gonna need a bigger room.

"not advancing the government’s preferred language"

No, it's more like government subversion and rudeness by shouting loaded questions with commentary when not given permission to speak as a guest in another's office.

[glennaro]

That WICCA (or whatever the hell the acronym is) is upset, is a good thing I should think.

aaaaaSHADDAP daniels!

If you didn’t see this coming, then you are more stupid than we thought.

The corporate media are enemies of the people.

“The outlet, which establishes editorial standards for journalism” …

There’s your problem.

[Dan in Wichita]

The AP is not a news organization and therefore does not have 1st Amendment rights.

[teeman8r]

AP Headline: Trump issues order to call the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of Mexico. The AP will not call the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of Mexico, to spite Trump’s executive order. In other news, the artist formally known as Prince, is still dead.

[OldHarbor]

punish AP for its independent journalism 😂🤔

[spincaster]

Trump can fundamentally deny whomever he wants to. Freedom of the press goes both ways.
