Petty, Pettier, Pettiest: White House Bars April Ryan From Christmas Party

[UCmeNdc]

The White House failed to invite a popular and combative black reporter to the annual holiday party because, the reporter said, officials in the Trump administration "don't like me."



Ryan, a CNN political analyst who has said journalists of color are considered the "opposition" to the Trump administration, said it was the first time in her career as a White House reporter she had been excluded from the guest list. Washington correspondents from mainstream media outlets and other publications covering the White House have all reportedly received their invitations. That said, CNN said it was boycotting the annual tradition "In light of the President's continued attacks on freedom of the press and CNN," the network told Politico.

2. There ought to be a full-scale boycott of this party by the respectable press.

If the Fox and Breitbart shitheads want more face time with Sarah Huckabee Sanders, let them have it.

3. Make or break time for corporate "journalists"

Will they continue in submissive stenography to Comrade Casino, the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief, and his cabal of KGOP republican cronies?

Or will they stand in principled solidarity against the daily onslaught of republican lies, and turn their backs - and asses - on the republican lie & crime & treason machine that they have let use them shamefully?

Will White House correspondents take a stand for truth?
