Anyone notice how aggressive the WH Press Corps is this time around?

[tenderfoot]

They fawned and tiptoed around Sarah and Kayleigh, letting them lie with impunity, but 24 hours in, they're all over Jen because Biden hasn't solved all of the country's FIVE five-alarm fires yet.

[a kennedy]

1. Ya know, I thought that as well......what the hell gives??

[Joinfortmill]

2. Yes. Really pisses me off.

[intrepidity]

3. Yeah, it kinda sucks

On one hand, it sure is nice to have a competent briefing, but the double standard is gross.

[Renew Deal]

4. They're going to spend 4 years trying to prove they're fair.

[badboy67]

9. Time for the DEMS to shut out the 2-faced media hypocrites who carry water for the GOP.

F 'em.

[Renew Deal]

11. Are they still letting OAN show up?

[bullimiami]

5. This is how they should have been. The other is just a display of their cowardice.

They should have challenged and damn the consequences. They did not. Reflects very poorly on their integrity and that of their organizations.

[Ferrets are Cool]

6. Yeah, and even though I knew it was coming, it still pisses me off big time.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

7. Bummer

I have not seen the highlights, but that is disappointing to hear.

[RKP5637]

8. They were afraid of Trump and also are cowards ... so now they are acting tough. A little late

for that act!!!

[imanamerican63]

10. She handled them like a pro!

She is the prefect replacement for we saw the past 4 years, period!

[Ellipsis]

15. She did.

I imagine their just happy to be able to test her.

Though from what I heard everyone was happy and respectful.

[Thekaspervote]

12. I watched last night, fux was nasty and one other, the rest were pretty good

[bdamomma]

13. Yes I noticed that too

why are trying to set her up, what agencies are they from??? And the room really did not look full.

Fishing for information too about that note from tRump to President Biden (oh, sounds good) . I wish they would grow up.

[nolabear]

14. This is the test. They should be able to be tough.

She should be able to be exactly what she was, composed, informed, respectful and taking no crap. I’m delighted not to have a snowflake there, finally, and I expect so are they.

[moonscape]

16. Contrarian here. I thought the press was doing their job,

what they have always done the many decades I’ve watched. Any fawning last admin was a matter of who they were willing to call on. CNN, PBS, etc didn’t fawn. OAN, FOX ... they did.

[bamagal62]

17. Yes! I was yelling curse words at the TV.

[GulfCoast66]

18. Totally in the minority here, but I was fine with it.

And I think many here are forgetting the near past. They were hard on trumps spokesperson. To the point that the first tried to ban the more aggressive ones, then stopped calling on them and then just stopped having them. They would make statements
on occasion, call on a few friendly press outlets, then it was over.


It’s been so long since we have had real press briefings we forgot what they should be.
