Today’s White House Press Briefing Only For Journalists Who Lick Trump’s ***, Apparently
Lügenpresse! Fake lying news! Journalists getting closer and closer and closer to uncovering the truth behind Donald Trump’s Russia scandal!
And did Trump not just say at CPAC on Friday that he was going to “do something” about those mean journalists who insist on searching for the real truth, instead of whatever Trump’s Ministry Of Truth tells them to say?
Just a few minutes ago, White House press secretary and Melissa McCarthy impersonator Sean Spicer canceled the daily White House press briefing in favor of a li’l gaggle in his office, off camera, with only certain news outlets allowed in.
Friendly outlets. Outlets that do not criticize der Fuehrer!
Take over, New York Daily News.
Surprise, Dead Breitbart was let in, because they lick Trump’s *** RIGHT nice, like they make the swirlies with their tongue and everything.
Here’s CNN’s response:
And the reply from Dean Baquet, executive editor of the New York Times:
According to the NYDN, banned outlets demanded to know why they weren’t let in, and White House spokes-moron Stephanie Grisham accused them of “threatening” her.
Uh huh. Those mean journalists, viciously demanding to do journalisms.
The White House Correspondents’ Association, which we have a feeling JUST MIGHT have an upcoming dinner to cancel (no pageantry for you, President Pussgrab!), is PISSED:
Wonkette also notes that the How To Do Journalism prize will immediately be awarded to Time magazine and the Associated Press, both of which boycotted the circle jerk in Spicer’s office in response.
All news outlets invited in should follow their lead.
Maybe the White House is just so embarrassed about its latest giant ****, begging the FBI to leak fake news to the press about how Donald Trump has never had sex with Russia, that it’s hiding from real journalists.
Maybe this is just another step toward the autocratic kleptocracy President Bannon wants to replace America with. New York Times White House correspondent Glenn Thrush has a theory about why:
WHO HERE HATES GLENN?
LET THE RECORD SHOW THAT EVERYBODY RAISED THEIR HAND! WRITE THAT, THAT’S YOUR STORY!
Whatever reasons the White House had for doing this, IT’S NOT **** NORMAL.
Russian-American journalist Masha Gessen, in her invaluable essay on surviving autocracy, warned us:
In other words, IT’S NOT **** NORMAL.
To paraphrase in a way that’s easier to understand, we’d say IT’S NOT **** NORMAL.
IT’S NOT **** NORMAL. IT’S NOT **** NORMAL. IT’S NOT **** NORMAL. IT’S NOT **** NORMAL. IT’S NOT **** NORMAL. IT’S NOT **** NORMAL. IT’S NOT **** NORMAL. IT’S NOT **** NORMAL. IT’S NOT **** NORMAL. IT’S NOT **** NORMAL. IT’S NOT **** NORMAL. IT’S NOT **** NORMAL. IT’S NOT **** NORMAL. IT’S NOT **** NORMAL. IT’S NOT **** NORMAL. IT’S NOT **** NORMAL. IT’S NOT **** NORMAL. IT’S NOT **** NORMAL. IT’S NOT **** NORMAL.
Ahem.
