Any comments
@StephenKing clown hypocrite? documented that the Obama administration excluded Fox News from some interviews, while the Justice Department investigated a Fox reporter. In 2013, numerous news organizations protested restrictions by the Obama White House that sometimes prevented independent photographers from covering presidential events while the White House released its own photographs.
During the Biden administration, there were documented restrictions on press access:
* In 2022, reporters complained that Biden White House officials were selectively approving journalists for some presidential events; the New York Post and Salon were among outlets whose reporters reported being denied access.
In 2023, the Biden White House denied New York Post correspondent Steven Nelson credentials for a Biden event.
The Biden White House also warned reporter Simon Ateba that he could lose his press access because of repeated disruptions during briefings.
🚨 JUST IN: Footage has resurfaced of CNN's Brian Stelter FLOATING the removal of Fox News from the White House press pool under Biden in 2021 — same guy who is this morning MELTING DOWN that Trump removed CNN, MSNOW and POLITICO
"Fox should be viewed as a political tool? Should it be part of the White House press pool? The privileges that come with news gathering?"
Note how he framed it? He didn't say "this is an attack on the 1st Amendment!"
He called access to the White House a "PRIVILEGE" — NOT A RIGHT.
That's not his tone today, because it's Donald J. Trump who made the move.
The solution is VERY simple: you are free to lie on your own time. If you want access, STOP THE ENDLESS LIES AND PROPAGANDA!
