White House attack on Journalists....Revoke Their Press Passes..?..

The White House has rescinded some Press Passes for Journalists, including Dana Milbank.

All the while Sarah Huckabee Sanders praises the release of journalists in Myanmar, while revoking Press pass credentials from journalists covering the White House comings and goings. HYPOCRISY? You betcha!

anywhere, and that's what rump and cronies are attempting to do, drive the focus elsewhere of where the press is. Makes one wonder what really is going on and will cause some journalists to really start digging, which I'm sure is already happening.
