The government may try to dictate what White House reporters write but it will not stop an independent press from doing its job.

Our colleagues at the @AP are the best in the business, total professionals and straight as they come. Since I started covering the White House in 1996, no president has punished a mainstay of the press pool to enforce his personal choice of what words they use in their stories.

Rally the media!
It’s long past time for media to do its part to save our Nation. There ain’t no “2 sides” to the story. Stand up for us & those who sacrificed everything to preserve the 1st Amendment & the power & duty of the free press to protect democracy.
"When will AP be reinstated?"
And this is the result.
We need local news to grow.
In history true journalism was sometimes the only thing that protected and saved people. ❤️

Wake the fuck up!!! You’re slow walking to your death.

How can we trust the reportage of cowards?

“Other media attendees included CBS News' Norah O'Donnell, CNN's Jamie Gangel and CNBC's Joe Kernen, the documents show.”

And for me it will always be the Gulf of Mexico!
YOU ALREADY FAILED.
@apnews.com can fuck off
If your NYT boss objects, quit.
The fact that you, who have coddled and soft reported the #GOP through their descent into fascism, still try and take a high road is sad but predictable
Annexing Canada, now the second largest country in the world, as ONE state, is a monument to stupidity. If they were to join us somehow (never...) they should come in with each province and territory as a separate state.
You have obeyed in advance too much.
But, if you really mean it, there is still time to correct your course.
🙄🙄🙄
Speak
Louder
Than
Words
So what you gonna DO Peter?
(nothing I assume)
The FD never regulated news organizations. AP is not under FCC jurisdiction nor is any newspaper, cable channel or blog.
You have no idea what you’re talking about.
I guess I should just sit this out right?
Everybody who keeps going to the briefings, while the AP is banned for doing their job, is passively condoning this.
And they’ll come for you next.
When will YOU join the true independent press? Because it's not at NYT.
