Why would journalists interested in the truth continue to cover this woman or the other WH propagandists? Why legitimize them through traditional coverage when they are actively trying to suppress the truth? It’s time for a big rethink and a propaganda blackout.

Reposted from Justin Baragona

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announces that the White House Correspondents' Association will no longer choose the pool reporter.

"Moving forward, the White House press pool will be determined by the White House press team."

Controlling the news outflow….now that’s not alarming or anything

It's more than time for a propaganda blackout. Just do it. Stop watching, stop listening and whatever you do, stop believing them. It's all Trump propaganda. Nothing they say is true. Nothing.

The media is a long con designed to sell adverts. The 'fourth estate' have been selling the notion that they represent 'us' (the people) for what, 100, 150 years? But it's never been true, they have always represented the power class, and sold that theory downwards.

And most, in fact almost all, journalists don't speak up or out, and I get that they have jobs and families, but that's not how they sell their role to the public. It would be more fair to describe them mostly as 'PR', and they should own it.

🎯 Folks need to stop inadvertently empowering these idiots. Ghost liars. Shun propaganda.

kincaidjones.bsky.social•3 days ago

Exactly. Ditch the press room.
Lock THEM out

Time for opposition press

expatinblighty.bsky.social•3 days ago

It hardly matters. Re-publishing the criminal regime's lies on Twitter and posting links to their propaganda videos is sufficient. Journalists can instead focus on investigative reporting into leaks, corruption, impact on Americans, etc., as well as analysis.

I couldn't agree more.

over-rainbow0718.bsky.social•3 days ago

To the press..all press ..those privileged to be let in and speak to this moron of lies- STOP GOING! Ive stopped watching US news-cause it’s Trump and lies. Don’t go to the press briefings. Let this child bride walk out to an empty room. STOP GOING! We know where to get the real news and share it.

Every time that tortured looking pinhead’s face appears, I turn the channel. PRESS - step up and take back control. Hold your own conferences and invite people who drive him even more insane. I’ll watch that.

I love she lost big time in NH, big mad she got to the White House someway…maybe her rich ass 60 something year old husband bought her the job…sounds about right for this admin…

It's also bad business. How many propaganda outlets do we need to parrot the same stuff over and over. Maybe 2 or 3? The rest of the copycats will go out of business. There's no need for them.

Smart journalists and media will go elsewhere and tell the Truth.

cbportland.bsky.social•3 days ago

Move the Truth to other outlets.

boyobcorgi.bsky.social•3 days ago

Time for the responsible Press to boycott in person press briefings. Handouts will be fine.

stroligus.bsky.social•3 days ago

You’d think that at least some of them would side with AP and boycott this woman’s propaganda pulpit.

mkwilson27.bsky.social•3 days ago

Because our media really fucking sucks?

That Christian Cross she wears around her neck should be replaced with a 666 pendant

rimaanabtawi.bsky.social•3 days ago

I think we can look at what @mariaressa.bsky.social did with Rappler as one model. As she says, #HoldTheLine

mariaressa.bsky.social•2 days ago

We covered our Palace better when not in the palace ... gives more time for context fact-checking

rimaanabtawi.bsky.social•2 days ago

Perspective is everything. It would seem worth considering consolidating all the immense talent that’s been “let go” into one centralized effort rather than depending on individual Substacks, with its comprised integrity. And from an economic perspective, too. A centralized platform.

Standing in a gaggle to report a pack of lies is steady, easy work unlike, you know, investigative reporting. Pays better, too.

lisa4kids.bsky.social•3 days ago

The media can fix this quickly with a mass boycott. Leave them with no coverage. We won’t miss the chaos. Trump won’t be able to stand it and will reverse course.

schadenfreude666.bsky.social•3 days ago

my thoughts exactly...why bother!...

frannybananny.bsky.social•3 days ago

Seriously… don’t give her the effing time of day.

Propaganda Barbie can tell it to an empty room. Well, the gaggle of Joseph Goebbels st FOX/Newsmax will entertain her with soft ball questions which can always be fact checked later for the certain 🐂💩

upstatedem.bsky.social•3 days ago

David, I detest Leavitt, but think the better move is to cover the WH pressers and report her lies as lies. And ignore the pool reports if they come from right-wing outlets.

noblewatchman.bsky.social•3 days ago

In Trump 2.0ligarchy, the press pool could cease covering the White House.
Musk’s X would then become the only outlet, which is probably the plan.

megavisor.bsky.social•3 days ago

My question, exactly!
There’s no “news” there, it’s all lies.

healthcare-for-all.bsky.social•2 days ago

It would be wonderful, if only a brief winning feeling, if none of the press showed up for the next propaganda WH press conference. Why not? They are all going to print the same malarkey anyway.

dustcongress.bsky.social•3 days ago

their bosses like the propaganda

edumblue.bsky.social•3 days ago

The White House press pool should just stop covering the White House. Set up somewhere else in DC every day and invite people to appear before the press corps and answer questions.

pinehavenlodge.bsky.social•3 days ago

Genius!

constantcomment151.bsky.social•3 days ago

Here’s an idea: maybe they can all stop attending her daily lie fest and do actual investigative journalism.
