In a heathy democracy, the WHCA would fight this by boycotting all WH and travel events until the old system was restored.
But they’re going to roll over and do whatever it takes to maintain “access” so they can be lied to in comfort

I’m just saying.
We will be calling each network to express this view
Let him have his Faux News & other propaganda outlets. Have NO credible news organization cover him AT ALL for 24-48 hours.
I guarantee they would be invited back.
He does nothing but watch coverage of himself on ALL the networks. 😐

Perfect framing.
If no one will enforce actual laws, then maybe relentlessly public shaming can be a nice consolation prize.
And maybe we get their lawyers disbarred.
It seems like Trump’s goal is “less independent coverage”. So I’m not sure how a boycott would motivate him to change.
We’re ceding ground every day, inch by inch.
The water is starting to boil as they build steam.
Other metaphor suggesting we’re slowly being fucked.

They need to STOP showing photos/video of him.
Trump lives for the attention. STOP giving it to him!

Dang I am so glad I never had children.
All they seem to do is hold Democrats to high standards, give Republicans a pass, and talk a good game and not deliver anything.
I hope I am courageous enough. I also hope others are too.

I'm talking about an actual press conference tho.
It could be rotated between folks who are good at public speaking.

They sold out ethics long ago, the pride left ain t worth much anymore
Leni Riefenstahl's got nothin' on this chick.
(Which you KNOW she'd take as a compliment.)

The Free Press is now a wholly owned subsidiary of @TASS, @RT
And/or @MoscowTimes
Spend your time doing investigative journalism instead. What's REALLY going on, that these pressers are trying to distract you from?
The Legacy media in America is so deeply compromised it is becoming obsolete before our eyes.
Call her like she is.
In every way possible. Journalism no longer exists there.
Leave the maga press all by themselves
