“Sir, I have a question, sir. How does someone as strong, powerful, and virile as you, sir, also turn out to be the most genius of all humans in history, sir?” - corporate media
Heaven's sake.
That's what Spicer did under Bush II.
Its what Republicans do. They are bed wetting cowards and can't stand confrontation with facts, if there are members of WH Press Corps willing to use them.
So let friendly Corporate Media feed them softballs.
No news is forthcoming anyway.
Major news outlets really need to stop showing these propaganda press conferences if that’s the way it’s gonna be. Otherwise the brainwashing will be extended to even more so.
Of course, we can’t be sure about the machinations of any large corporation, including media outlets. But you really would think that any News outlet that has been opposed to Trump and his policies would stop showing these one-sided briefings.
So the reporters not being called upon should stage a walkout. No coverage of anything by the administration until non-loyalist media start to be recognized.
Got it. So what that federal judge this week really meant when he declined to hear AP was: "it doesn't really matter, the Whitw House won't allow you to ask questions anyway."
Their question is a direct reference to Brazil's judiciary position that any news/social media company in order to operate in Brazil need oficial representatives in the country and adhere to our law on misinformation and fake news spreading.
Same happened to X, Elon tried to overturn and caved.
Everyone will see and feel how pathetic and North Korea-ish this will turn into. The entire country will recoil from this embarrassment. What a train wreck
“In a break from tradition” - tradition, norms, conventions will all be swept away. This administration is only conservative in the sense it protects wealth and power above all else.
As an American told me last week: there's everything fine in the USA, USA is still democratic and got laws. And Trump has to follow the laws.
And i'll trust this guy. He said He served and so he's a better Person then everyone Else.
🤷🏼♀️
So... It seems like you and me just overreacting on it.
We're not gonna get anything useful out of talking to anyone from this administration. They don't see us as people, they see us as a roadblock to their power.
"Opposing free speech" = "We are mad because other countries won't let us continue our blatant lies that undermine our country and make our citizens hate each other"
Same shit they did last time. Remember the ludacris zoom call-ins they also did but they were all softball bloggers that were ass kissers. They can't stand being questioned in the slightest by anyone that might make them look bad.
Oh you guys thought the press conferences would be real. I just assumed it had already become just reality TV. I mean this is the new season of the apprentice right.
Dipshit boss that doesn't know anything about the company, fires everybody who does and bankrupt it's. Yeah yeah I'm up to speed.
Reporters should walk out and not go back until they are treated with respect. Half of us don’t want to hear Barbie and the other half won’t listen while at the bar.
RIP First Amendment. Complicit republicans in congress are a disgrace. Their corruption and anti-American sentiment has enabled all of this. Once free press and speech are dead - and they are - we are no longer free, and no longer safe. SCOTUS and the GOP authorized our democracy’s destruction.
Look. All the major Outlets are owned by oligarchs. The minor news services are MAGA or Worse invested in by oligarchs and people of that ilk. We don't need a talking head in the White House to feed us more b******* when we have a talking head in the white house that's all b*******.
This makes the WHPC's refusal to stand up for the AP even more maddening. You aren't getting anything from these photo ops anyway. Stand up and walk out in solidarity with your fellow legitimate journalists.
The rest of the WH press corps needs to walk out. There is no legitimate “news” happening there. Even exposing the bumbling, etc around not being able to answer who the DOGE administrator is, isn’t really in the public interest…. It’s meaningless. Don’t grant it legitimacy.
Chris Pavlosky sounds like just another 1%er with WH backing spreading more disinformation to distract Americans from "voter's remorse" while Pinkey & the Brain continue on their journey to enrich themselves while destroying America's leadership position on the world stage!!!!!!!!!!
It seems like about 10% of the questions are outrageous softballs: "Mr. President, you have incredibly high approval ratings today. How do you feel about that?"
Why are @nbcnews.com, @cbsnews.com, @abcnewsgo.bsky.social and @cnn.com still attending these disgusting charades? We need a #pressboycott to wake this country up. Anything less is beta cuck or whatever these incels say these days.
The MSM is looking like fools for attending these propaganda fests. Go off and report on the regime's actions instead of their lies. Get people to explain the illegality and danger of what is happening and ignore the propaganda. See how long it takes for them to come begging for an interview,
I was attacked by a "liberal" bot for sharing my thoughts on reinstating (and updating for Internet)The Fairness Doctrine. After insisting that I didn't read it, they continued ad hominem attacks without engaging on the topic.

The Curb Your Enthusiasm theme should accompany every Karoline Leavitt statement made during the White House press briefing or any press statement she makes for that matter
The problem is that it’s exactly what the Trump Reich is hoping will happen.
They will either fill those empty seats with even more sycophants and accuse the actual press of abandoning their readers / viewers just to “Get back at Trump”, or they’ll leave the seats empty and say the same thing.
Yes, but again - while there are countless people (waves from Ohio) who would **love** to ignore what Trump and his cronies say... no one would benefit more from ignoring him than Trump himself.
It’s another part of Bannon's “flood the zone with BS” ploy: they’re hoping everyone simply tunes out.
"When the public's right to know is threatened, and when the rights of free speech and free press are at risk, all of the other liberties we hold dear are endangered."

The rare times Biden did press conferences they were 100% scripted with friendly, softball questions. That was scripted TV.
Looking at you @msnbc.com who just fired your minority staff. F’ng gutless.
Nothing more than government propaganda 🤬

Spread the word. Donate you if you can
Vote in person if possible. The way things are looking, mail-in-ballots are getting less reliable
And anything telling the truth as left wing lies

Well, bright side - that got cancelled too.
