I have seen bunches of posts on Bluesky suggesting that the other journalists in attendance should act in support of their cohorts that are verbally and unjustly attacked by POTUS or his disgusting band of incompetent suckups.
Today he has said - though as we all know, Felon47 is simply not a reliable source of information or even intent - that he is banning representatives of CNN, MS NOW and POLITICO from the WH. Now, you should definitely NOT assume that I have any significant respect for the mealy-mouthed, weak-willed parrots that masquerade as journalists from those outlets but, one must work with what one has rather than what one wishes they had. That said, it should be clear to anyone that serving him weak sauce serves no purpose other than to encourage his worst instincts.
Now would be a really good time for all of the journalists to band together for a cause. Actually, they should band together for several causes. Access. honesty, civility, respect, should all be the minimum a journalist gets. They should walk out all together and refuse to return unless and until the Orange Scourge and his handlers publicly state their intention to change their ways and then back it up with action.
We do NOT live in a monarchy. Respect is not owed or guaranteed to anyone simply because they are sucking up tax dollars. This behavior on Felon47's part should absolutely change things. This ought to produce an audible crack in the camel's vertebrae.
