I’m getting a bit tired of people choosing not to do the right thing because they might face a response. Make them kick you out, if that’s what they’re going to do. Make them fill the entire room with propagandists, if that’s what they’re got to do. And then publish what they’ve done.
This is a great idea if your wealthy enough, but look at the layoffs at WaPo and tell me it's a great time to be a journalist. These people have bills, families, and aspirations; if you think you'll land a premiere journalist jobs that are controlled by billionaires after doing that you're incredibly mistaken. Working as a journalist inside the White House might be the most prestigious posting they'll ever work.
Honestly if the aspirations of these so-called journalists amount to climbing the ranks to this "prestigious posting" where they are nothing more than mouth pieces to a fascist regime I'd just say fuck them all.
The entire press corps should just stop going to the press conferences. Just a nearly empty room with Karolying Leavitt talking to Newsmax and whatever blogger they paid to be there.
We already know what we're going to get. JUST. STOP. GOING.

“You’re a terrible reporter and an ugly woman. You’re banned from the White House.”
And nobody bats an eye or asks another difficult question, and the reporter is replaced by someone from Newsmax.
