White House Moves to Pick the Pool Reporters Who Cover Trump

In announcing plans to handpick the reporters who can ask the president questions, the White House is breaking decades of precedent.

‼️This is what happens in Russia

Trump truly is an egomaniacal sociopath. I don't like this at all. But honestly I cannot listen to his bullshit anymore.

State TV kike Orbon and Putin instructed him!

They are getting exactly what they deserve
When they failed to act after seeing him do this?
We knew that access mattered more & they abandoned all journalistic ethics & integrity

That's suppression of the free press, not a "break with traditions"

ohiorob.bsky.social•3 days ago

Look at what Orbán did in Hungary, and look at what Trump is doing. 👀 They’re all following the same playbook.

swrdfshtrmbone.bsky.social•3 days ago

there is no precedent for anything any more.

briandr.bsky.social•3 days ago

This is state media 100%

lindarn.bsky.social•3 days ago

Can we just stop
Saying that! He’s a f’ing fascist so just say it!!!

olgalautman.bsky.social•3 days ago

Every day we need to say this. I even call this a regime and hope people stop calling it an administration. It’s not

Criminal usurpation.

kp212.bsky.social•3 days ago

So it will be fox, newsmax bannon.

lindaann54.bsky.social•3 days ago

Of course, criminals don’t like it when their crimes are exposed.

angrypusscat.bsky.social•3 days ago

that is russia.

shooteyeout.bsky.social•3 days ago

Da, Pravda...truth. Didn't he name that social platform the same?

lesl8.bsky.social•3 days ago

Step by step we reflect the image of a government I grew up despising. I will not change my point of view.

yaz44usa.bsky.social•3 days ago

Just execute a black out of his news for real. Let his favorites kiss his butt and everyone else go back to the business of telling the truth. No interviews, no transmission of rants, etc. The problem is they lost their spine.

yaz44usa.bsky.social•1 day ago

Oh my Lord! To anyone trying to figure out what I tried to say: I didn't kill anybody, I meant having a "blackout" on any news coming from that orange piece of shit! I should not write when mad!🤭🤭

Goodbye free press

lauraabneymba.bsky.social•3 days ago

Why is anyone covering the President or the daily briefings if all they do is lie? Be better reporters and seek the truth elsewhere.

debbo53.bsky.social•3 days ago

All reporters need to abandon press room and AF1 immediately. Of course orange ass-kissers won't.

It is true what we were saying: by voting for Trump, people were making America like Russia.

And so it begins…

farawaywatcher.bsky.social•3 days ago

Trump can’t stand challenges. He is a typical bully. It needs someone to stand up to him but I just hope it is not Musk otherwise the mire will deepen and widen. Where is the sensible mid ground salvation? Missing entirely.

oakleafacorn.bsky.social•3 days ago

He’s a coward, weak, a man child, a bully.

oddball13.bsky.social•3 days ago

It’s what happens when you are a thin skinned ignoramus who doesn’t like it when he is exposed as being a weak leader.

mrspanhead.bsky.social•3 days ago

And there goes the 1st amendment

amateur-philosophy.bsky.social•3 days ago

Their aim is to have nothing but their lies spread. The proper response is to have reporters ask real questions of someone outside the traitor admin.

francis128.bsky.social•3 days ago

I will take propaganda for $1000 Alex.

jjr3.bsky.social•3 days ago

Official US definition of treason:
- Levying war against the United States
- Giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States
- Adhering to the enemies of the United States

Trump is CLEARLY a Traitor.
There is NO counter argument. Who disagrees?

wnc55.bsky.social•3 days ago

Why doesn’t the media refuse to participate in this cluster mess? Let’s see how Trump likes no one showing up at press conferences!

lisarcas.bsky.social•3 days ago

Total bs! This isn’t fricken Russia! WTH is he that only be a few can ask him? Agsin this isn’t Russia , this isn’t tge mob and ge csn go to hell!!

martie38.bsky.social•3 days ago

Not a democracy anymore if only a few selected reporters can ask questions!

mandycmerciless.bsky.social•3 days ago

To sound an cynical note, the answers are lies anyway.

mandycmerciless.bsky.social•3 days ago

A new kind of journalism, that doesn't need that dance, may depend on statements instead of questions.
Repeating every day that convicted felon Trump is an Russian asset, which is true, ought have some value.
Perhaps pay talented people to present this information.

Even Putin takes critical questions once a year. A actually feel sorry for the Americans, that didn't wote for this shitshow.

boulderdaisy.bsky.social•3 days ago

None of them should show up, it’s all lies anyway

yapyacht.bsky.social•3 days ago

Basicly we are living in Russia now. I don’t see any gop member standing up and Dems can’t do a whole lot.

maya-malcoms66.bsky.social•3 days ago

This was just a matter of time. The press let Trump & Co. deflect, ramble, & spread lies instead of holding him accountable. Now, he’s shutting them out entirely; just like in Russia. If they’d done their jobs, asked hard questions, and called out lies in real-time, some minds might have changed.
