President Musk and his puppet Trump are afraid of Truth and afraid of what will be heard in the cabinet meetings, what they would hear is the attempt to make an authoritarian state in America
Seems to me that the WHCA and its membership should simply stop covering the WH. If all you’re getting are press releases, there’s really no need to be there. But you can still factually report that the WH is plotting in secret and report their press releases as unverifiable claims.
strange...I always believed IAW the 1st amendment, that the Correspondents Association themselves always told the white house would be included/rotated within their pool, with only the total Number controlled by the administration. I assume there are already or will be, lawsuits filed?
See? You had an opportunity to make a statement by standing up for the AP with other news orgs against Trump's media tyranny. But you chose cowardess and selfish intent. Now you're in the same boat as AP and it'll be harder to make an impact whining that it happened to y'all too.
the legitimate media organizations need to band together and not even show up to cover trump. He would be humiliated and practically begging you to come back. He thrives on coverage and on beating up the media. Cut him off. Watch what happens.
If Felon Trump is a “stable genius” and a “sophisticated business operator,” how is it that after a month as “unitary executive” he and DOGE and his cabinet still do not know who does and does not work for the US government?
Going to have to start finding influencers that will attend and report back. Kind of the way many news sources have always gotten big news. The whole “can’t name my sources” kind of thing. Most likely it’s already being done. They cannot be allowed to win.
The point is being able to ask hard questions and follow up. And if/when they spin being able to set the record straight with facts. Hard to ask questions when you’re not in the room, even if the answers are spin.
You have a point, but you will never get a straight answer from this administration. Instead, report what they DO and ignore what they say. Don't need to be in the room for that.
The pressure in the room is meaningful. Eliminating friction against harmful policy announcements means more will go through "without pushback" and more citizens will believe the lie that bad and stupid things are good, actually
Donald Trump said "The European Union was formed to screw the United States. We will hit them with 25 % tariffs and if they retaliate, we will not buy anything from them"
The US has elected the biggest liar and the most delusional idiot EVER as their President.
Time to turn the energy freed by not covering staged photo ops toward investigative journalism - Woodward & Bernstein didn't bring down Nixon by attending photo ops
Don’t give into him. You have other resources to collect data and keep the people informed of all the evil things this fascist and his minions are doing.
This is the explanation why in Italian language cabinet has the meaning of toilet too.So don't be offended.Stay outside breathing pure air instead of mephitic and noxious exhalations.
we told them this would happen while they were both sidesing trump & republican magats for the last 8 years, we told them if they kept down peddling the republican threat to civil liberties and the rule of law, one of the first things they'd do is restrict the free press, and turn their lights off
It speaks volumes when a presidential administration keeps out the press that report facts and don't bow down to the fascist rhetoric that this administration spews out. Disgraceful!

Just a few terms that describe the impact of only letting one-sided journalism play a role in reporting to taxpayers.
WE are owed the truth - and ALL the information - not just the handpicked, shiny stuff.
Administration.
