ITS A SHIT SHOW ALREADY

bnat4.bsky.social•3 days ago

Why isn’t the name given?

jjurek.bsky.social•3 days ago

Did they, though? Or were they hoping for the best as they prepared for the worst? That being said, they need to work together to stand against this.

inscribajournal.bsky.social•3 days ago

Forgive me. I've met a number of DC journalists in my lifetime and know how hard many of them work, but this quote reflects such a spectacularly bored, entitled attitude by someone in a position of unique privilege relative to power. This is the FAFO moment for the Beltway press.

nhyoung.bsky.social•3 days ago

It was their egos talking.

cristabel.bsky.social•3 days ago

Self-delusion in service of personal ambition is a hell of a drug.

"He won't keep hitting me if I go back to him. He really doesn't want to hit me, he just doesn't know what he's doing. It won't be like that this time!"

bribleck.bsky.social•3 days ago

The conclusion I draw from statements like this is that they are incredibly stupid and lacking morals.

blanonymous.bsky.social•3 days ago

What an ugly indirect attempt to ingratiate.

tonyprinciotti.bsky.social•3 days ago

They're more than wiling to sell their journalistic principles for access, even if that access yields nothing but propaganda.

blutola.bsky.social•3 days ago

Why don't you all grow a conscience and boycott these until this changes. Who gives a shit if only right wing media is there. Continuing to show up under these conditions is morally bankrupt. There is a reason so many of us have abandoned you.

sun-sawed.bsky.social•3 days ago

It’s GROOMING. He insults. He threatens. He secretly confides it’s all a joke. He has the public unleash death threats.

Just like Cruz and Rubio. The more abuse he hurls, the more people want to get close to him.

It’s in Mary Trump’s book, for God’s Sake!

thinkingitover.bsky.social•3 days ago

Despite his sometimes violent rhetoric against the press, he actually loves us.

He loves talking to you because he’s a narcissist dopey. He still hates you!

drjoep.bsky.social•2 days ago

Caving in is so embarrassing. Lacks moral conviction. Speaking of convictions: 34 felonies.

myfurbabies.bsky.social•3 days ago

Jfc. They're on the take.

winwan.bsky.social•3 days ago

Hahahahahahahahahahaha. That was pretty funny! NOT!

memecereal.bsky.social•3 days ago

It’s almost as if spending time with Trump makes you realise he’s an actual human, not the devil incarnate.

inwpublicdefender.bsky.social•3 days ago

The reporter is probably @peterbakernyt.bsky.social

dsullivan238.bsky.social•3 days ago

Narrator: "...but it was like the first term, only worse."

Denial is a powerful drug.

jessica1603.bsky.social•2 days ago

100% unprepared. Agree.

christina55.bsky.social•3 days ago

Sounds like intentional ignorance to me.

tokenize.bsky.social•3 days ago

I mean, they definitely know what they’re doing to a greater degree this time. So top marks for that part of the prediction, I guess?

freedomcs76.bsky.social•3 days ago

They know they are bent on destruction and do not care about peoe.
This group is worse because they have no experience and are totally inexperienced.
At least Barr Pompeo, Kelly etc had relative experience.

g-s-d.bsky.social•3 days ago

Here's a perfect example of sanewashing and brainwashing. One of the reasons we have Trump

bluevirginia.bsky.social•3 days ago

These credulous, cowardly "journalists" (in air quotes) are a disgrace to the profession of journalism...

kimoralynn.bsky.social•3 days ago

DC Reporters are oftem moronic shills depending on access journalism

tubbyducks.bsky.social•3 days ago

Sure sounds like someone who speaks like Peter Baker

hammbear2024.bsky.social•3 days ago

Dawsey. My money is on Josh Dawsey.

tubbyducks.bsky.social•3 days ago

Ooo could see that for sure

hammbear2024.bsky.social•3 days ago

He’s terrible and that’s the kind of crap he’d say.

peterrb1961.bsky.social•3 days ago

I can - all you have to do is note the lead 'they love talking to us'.

dbjc.bsky.social•3 days ago

Wilder these people are employed by any media company.

ethanfletcher.bsky.social•3 days ago

Might help explain the quality of political coverage and analysis in some outlets.

iandsmith.bsky.social•3 days ago

No names... almost as if it was all made up.

mtvcop.bsky.social•3 days ago

The fastest runner will be eaten last by the lions.
Or something to that effect of sucking up before you get shot.

dberl.bsky.social•3 days ago

Time to walk away people. Starve him.

richlevine6.bsky.social•3 days ago

I wonder if whoever wrote that would care to revisit it now…in print.

It cannot be put into words how deeply I hate the Washington press corps.

Shoot them all into the sun on one of Elon's rockets.

megsym.bsky.social•3 days ago

Idk who this hack is but OMFG, can you say COLLABORATOR? Like “I got mine, I’m one of the ‘good ones’; I am so down to gargle balls of russian propaganda but yeah, I love America woo! Sucks to be them! Don’t let my ladder hit you in the face as I pull it up behind me!”

pjmacwriter.bsky.social•3 days ago

You should name the reporter.

gtherk.bsky.social•3 days ago

not *that* wild given the beliefs of some these beltway stenographers

kaboosemoose.bsky.social•3 days ago

Like the aging politicians in D.C. I don’t think veteran journalists understand the culture wars of the Internet and how they affect society

jekolski.bsky.social•3 days ago

TMP lays it all out and carries out what they tell you they are doing. Hiding in plain sight. Those who say otherwise are helping TMP.

resistbear.bsky.social•3 days ago

True, they’ll be lot worst

eastslope.bsky.social•3 days ago

The journalist sounds like a clueless GOP voter. Why anyone thought this would not be objectively more destructive is beyond me.

bryanfichter.bsky.social•3 days ago

That's gotta be the always naive @peterbakernyt.bsky.social

mihailim.bsky.social•3 days ago

Complicit. The word is complicit.

mjf63.bsky.social•3 days ago

Not the brightest bulb.

johnhoward66.bsky.social•3 days ago

after talking with them online for the past few years, this is who they are. they still believe it.

angeleyesnyc.bsky.social•3 days ago

They want things to be normal so badly that they refuse to accept reality.

azureriver.bsky.social•3 days ago

And so this person and @apnews.com and WHCA also think they have no leverage for a boycott?

iggiemom.bsky.social•3 days ago

They were all in on Trump to help their bottom line.

No.

bchanson.bsky.social•3 days ago

I’m constantly amazed at how stupid people have important jobs

sybilltrelawney.bsky.social•3 days ago

“What’s the downside of humoring him?,” asked an anonymous GOP official in November 2020.

pamoden.bsky.social•3 days ago

I preferred they did not know what they were doing

avendarien.bsky.social•3 days ago

The self deception

noahnoahholt.bsky.social•3 days ago

“Not going to be as horrific as people might imagine” is an incredibly low bar and he still failed to clear it

anchorbabynotes.bsky.social•3 days ago

he argubly did clear it. Things have been MUCH MORE horrific than I and all my peeps Imagined.
and we IMAGINED.

rmdw1108.bsky.social•3 days ago

Maybe this “veteran” reporter needs to sit in the wings and stretch? Access is not journalism

lmosk2.bsky.social•3 days ago

The felon is such a lower. Can't take the heat.

moongirlsusie.bsky.social•3 days ago

Oops

pelon365.bsky.social•3 days ago

My $ is on Haberman.

gimmeabreak.bsky.social•3 days ago

So it's better for us when the evil & destruction is pre-plotted?

519winlor.bsky.social•3 days ago

And they want us to believe anything they say. I'm done with those enablers and appeasers.

rbnyc.bsky.social•3 days ago

It's good for business at least for those with access.

stonewiegman.bsky.social•3 days ago

SMH at all the so-called professional journalists believed this garbage…..and do not speak up when fellow professional journalists are dissed at the briefing. Case in point, bupkis was said by the journalists when the WH spokesperson said AP was no longer in the press room for briefings.

geelb2024.bsky.social•3 days ago

WTF?!?!?!
