Exactly

They'll be handing out balloons and popcorn at these soon to be clown shows.

I’m sure this only applies to right-wing influencers/poscast bros too

manfool.bsky.social•33 days ago

I bet Jeff Gannon is available.

slylos.bsky.social•34 days ago

UnderTheDeskNews would like to talk.

newsue.bsky.social•34 days ago

You can bet your ass they wouldn't approve Meidas Touch being in the room.

They are what the Right Wing sees as journalists--propagandists. The folks at Fox & Breitbart are not journalists either. The Right Wing wants all "journalists" to become PR firms for Trump. Many have.

Of course they are - right leaning crazy podcasters. I’m sure asshole Joe Rogan will find a great spot to put his brand of idiocracy in there..

Geezus

You can now let anyone creating podcasts on anything into the white House briefing room.
It’s incredible.

Translation: "Trump dick riders."

immasayit.bsky.social•34 days ago

She meant maga pundits

telecomone.bsky.social•34 days ago

Yes, the maga-media.

jr3597.bsky.social•34 days ago

So ridiculous. It'll be full of Nazis and Barron's pal... Nick Fuentes... it's a shitshow.

saintlyred88.bsky.social•34 days ago

So Joe Rogan & bros with maga women so much bleach not only in the hair but what they are drinking. Because honest people would make this administration accountable can’t have that.

A good journalist should not be an influencer but an educator.

kaitlinobscura.bsky.social•34 days ago

This comment right here ^ We should not be influencing or persuading, only presenting factual information through careful research.

michelson.bsky.social•34 days ago

This is not new. New media has been in the briefing room for years.

riderbabe52.bsky.social•34 days ago

Real Journalists need to get up, en masse, walk the the hell out & stay out.

There's nothing she's saying that is worth repeating and by not giving them cred, they will lose their tiny minds.

ellenenders.bsky.social•34 days ago

Half of maga girls think of themselves as influencers

televisedanarchy.bsky.social•34 days ago

Yup...and they'll ask softball questions to get engagement...that's the goal. They can't handle adult responsibilities and actual governing...if they ever had to, it would be a first for any of them.

oldramon.bsky.social•34 days ago

Taking the Shit show to the briefing room...

I’d make a comment about trump optimizing WH Press Conferences for the distribution of propaganda, but traditional media hasn’t exactly been critical of trump…

kaitlinobscura.bsky.social•34 days ago

Not arguing that but that doesn’t change the fact that this is a ✨ bad thing. ✨

gerri-kay.bsky.social•34 days ago

Agreed - sadly, not unexpected.
