It's official, we'll have Jeff Gannon 2.0 at the White House...

...Only worse.

Jerome Corsi, who never met a bullshit story starting with his "swiftboating" he didn't run with, is going to be Alex Jones' goon at White House press conferences.

White House Issues Press Credentials To Infowars' Birther, Jerome Corsi

Jerome Corsi ‎@jerome_corsi

More like high praise disguised as a question.

Also some Trump loving publisher of a weekly local newspaper in Kentucky.

like Corsi and other rightwing demagogues like the brown nosers that were featured in today's press call. Trump's trying to paint an unfavorable picture of the whole news media by bringing in these unqualified agitators as if they are all cut from the same mold. It makes it easier for him to discredit reporters who write unflattering stories about him as biased and dishonest when he can compare them to the fawning bloggers from Info Wars who write sonnets extolling his magnificence.
