This is the way. It’s not like this administration doesn’t leak like a sieve.

I really did think that was one of the reasons why the press was always after Biden. He acted too much like a normal President. After four years of Trump, they were addicted to him.

Nice to be reminded that most people in most positions are just basically bad at their jobs.

And this is why all real journalists should boycott the WH for a week or two. Not a word about Trump other than his golfing and other leisure activities. Reassign everyone to talk about the blow back occurring across the country, the legal victories of the Resistance, etc.

I went back to reread the the article, with the benefit of hindsight, and forgot that the subhed was "Plenty to worry about [in another Trump term]—but some are looking forward to the press having better access."

My husband’s rhetoric towards me is sometimes very strident… well, okay, and violent. But he loves talking to me!

It’s almost as if spending time with Trump makes you realise he’s an actual human, not the devil incarnate.

Maybe it’s the feckless press that need to be purged.

"Incoming press secretary Karoline Leavitt and communications director Steven Cheung are seen by White House reporters as “full MAGA, but they're also professionals," as the veteran reporter put it."

Ladies and gentlemen, the fourth estate!

So it would seem to be common sense to anyone who has been paying attention -- EXCEPT for the so-called professionals who cover the regime.

And obviously the most important thing is that they steer their questions and coverage so that he keeps talking to them. An outlet with an audience of one.

i don’t think they were identified beyond just being a veteran reporter

They spoke anonymously because they weren't authorized to be publicly humiliated

By the structure of the piece, it’s most likely Jonathan Swan of….wait for it….Axios!

it's okay if we all just quit the press except for NPR and alternatives to mainstream media. It's crazy-people on the left are becoming disillusioned with msm. I guess we always should have been. I mean they shat all over Al Gore because he gave them healthy snacks instead of donuts.
