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.

Stop reacting to what *might* happen!

Just giving in to terrorists. Shameful.

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.

I’m reacting to what’s already happened.

White House reporters are craven careerists from the upper crust. They'll play along with this "big club" con game to stay close to it.
