Or coherent.
Sometimes, incoherent ramblings from Trump are unfortunately important for all the wrong reasons.
This would matter if you guys had a coherent president worth listening to.
Basically CNN got banned and now the rest of the press pool (somehow including FOX?) have decided not to cover events as well.
Fox is currently in the leadership position for the pool. They aren't just ancillarily signing on; they made the call to shut the whole fucking thing down. They know full well that if this flies, once the MAGA folks sober up, the network is at extreme risk for targeting from a new president. Obama kinda tried to do that, but it was quickly walked back. And in that case, the rest of the corporate media stood in solidarity with Fox.
It's easy to say "one side this, one side that," but at the end of the day, regardless of politics, access to the White House is necessary for, you know, covering the fucking White House. And journalists are hyperaware of history, so this sort of prior restraint immediately links to "first, they came for ..."
First, they came for the journalists. But I did not speak out, for I was not a journalist
Then, they came for somebody else. But there were no journalists to record the audio, so Im not really sure who they came for
Just so.
Should have done this after Jan 7th
This isn't even particularly intentional.
The White House press pool coverage like this is provided by CNN, who are now banned. So if they're not there to manage it, it doesn't happen.
Actually, it is intentional as many major networks and the press pool itself have announced a boycott
This guy has a BIG problem with pools.
He's hearing the L in that, right?
Pools that haven't been kind to president orange blob: Reflecting Media Gene
I hear it's not easy being green.
This is perfection. How long until he starts having someone follow him around with a megaphone?
This is how he should sound every time he speaks.
