“But if we go on strike they’ll hire scabs!” -dickless Brian Stelter arguing against solidarity

Consider the possibility that the Trump White House WANTS this fight. Wants journalists to act like opponents instead of observers. If the entire press pool skipped a Trump photo op in solidarity with The AP, wouldn't the White House welcome Breitbart and One America News to take their places?

So back in the 70’s, the postal service went on strike. Two weeks, starting in NYC. They tried to get the national guard in to cover. They couldn’t.

Now the work today is different, and there’s a dozen different private parcel services itching to take its place. But not with universal service.

FedEx is useless outside of large metros, UPS charges huge fuel fees, Amazon will leave half the nation and call lost revenue a rounding error.

If they don't have to waste their time at the Presidential Press briefings, maybe they'd have the bandwidth for some real investigative journalism, presenting facts not fantasy.

That sounds like a lot of work, and then how will they find enough time for fancy cocktail parties and bootlicking?

They should be skipping Trump and the dems should have a press conference every time Trump does.

AOC is old enough to run for president now. And she has the wittiest responses to media. And Tim Walz is the most likeable Dem right now. I say have those two in front of a camera all day every day.

The question is, would we rather they win more easily because we did nothing or win in spite of us doing something? And then there's the possibility that doing something could work

Even if his argument has logical merit (which it doesn't), it completely ignores the fact that Trump et al will do this anyways. Furthermore, if every news agency is willing to become OANN to appease Trump, how is that different than Trump replacing every news agency with OANN?
