Trump White House’s new press policy: Threats, revenge and MAGA media favoritism

This week is a troubling turning point in the already-tense dynamic between the Trump White House and the press corps.

At the White House, and at key agencies like the Defense Department, the plan is obvious: Punish traditional journalists who ask tough questions and promote a parallel universe of pro-Trump media outlets.

Tuesday’s announcement about President Trump’s press operation taking over “press pool” organizing duties is part of the plan. The administration is clearly trying to exert more control over who asks questions – and what they ask.

The dipshit brings up Biden constantly but is the first to claim TDS. American conservatism is a not-so-mild form of retardation.

He took control of the White House Press Pool like 4 days ago, dude. Why do you think he did that?
He did it so he can exclude reporters and news agencies that he doesn't like.
He's already banned AP because they used "Gulf of Mexico" in an article. (yes, he's that much of a pathetic man/child)
A month from now the only reporters in the room will be pro-Trump ballwashers pitching him soft balls.
Did you even read the OP?

So when faced with the fact that you've been proven wrong and he answers unscripted questions from all manner of reporters all the time you're just going to ignore that little tidbit and double down. Yes, dude, I've read multiple stories on it and its just whining by the folks that previously had a monopoly on the coveted spots. Of course those that used to benefit the most are going to cry the loudest. Too bad; proven Trump haters don't get to choose anymore who gets those spots. Instead of HuffPo, Axios got the nod this time. Oh noes!
And you realize the Briefing Room will still have all of your favorites there, right?
Plus, he'll still do the regular press conferences, the walk and talks etc. Face it, dude. You can hate him all you want but Trump is more in front of the media then probably any POTUS in history.

Stay blind, fool.

[Animal]

every president since Thomas Jefferson has tried to control the media and keep the message favorable to their agenda. That is nothing at all new. They key is that they do it openly and everyone knows its going on and to maintain your skepticism and not be blinded by what you read or hear.
