Peter, the press corps has power. Don’t go!

Every president of both parties going back generations subscribed to the principle that a president doesn't pick the press corps that is allowed in the room to ask him questions. Trump has just declared that he will.

or go, and walk out at the first lie

Please press organize and go to all fifty states and follow the governors and legislators, hospitals, and nursing homes to ask questions about Republican Medicare cuts. There is no benefit listening to Trump lie.

Exactly stop covering the whole deranged sideshow.

Only way to deal with sociopaths.

Yup. You just get spin and lies anyway.

Peter Baker should have left when the AP was barred. The fact that he hasn’t while breathlessly tutting about norms tells you all you need to know about him. Hillary Clinton campaign leadership knew the sort of roach Baker has always been.

He sounds surprised.

It’s giving “FOMO + clicks > journalistic integrity”

That would require Peter to have a backbone

It’s useless to go … sitting there hearing lies … just watch it on TV

If the press rejects him, Trump will cave. Good press, bad press, he must have the limelight or shrivel (and I don't just mean his tiny ball sack).

Right. No legitimate org should go. Piss off Trump by going around him and taking the oxygyn away.

But continue to report and tell the truth.

Trump is cutting off information,from the people. But he will also be able to spread the information that he wants,and nothing else,with the media that have bent the knee.

Just once month ago, they were so giddy about getting their supposed access & circus.

The press has power in numbers, they should use it. Don’t show up, just say no.

jetstre.bsky.social•13 hours ago

They will take away all of their independence and they will continue to say but if we aren’t there no one will be there to report the news. They need the media more than they admit.

Peter is a registered libertarian who has no actual voting record to speak of except being a registered libertarian. He is not our friend.

This is the way. Stop pandering.

timhannapel.bsky.social•12 hours ago

Exactly right. Take the sail out of his wind.

Stop giving him airtime

Peter and the NYT knew this was coming and yet they chose access, sycophantic sucking-up, Hillary hate, and "Old Man Biden instead of stating the truth. How many times have they used the word LIAR about Trump's LIES during the last 10 years? As if.
