We were critical of what we rightly criticize, critically against the reporters of the White House, who gave Trump another series of rules and were to respect him. Correspondents of the White House have prioritized their own access to President and what they could do for access for their career against the protection of press freedom.
With the attempt to appease Trump, the correspondents of the White House opened the door for the administration, which took control of the press pool, and now that Trump has control, he replaces objective branches with right propaganda arms.
The Correspondent Association of the White House has consistently criticized the Trump government, but politely for its movements.
Although the AP won in court, The administration continues to block you to enter the white house.
The situation is undemocratic.
Oliver Darcy der status The newsletter spoke about the idea of a boycott of the White House Pool Pool:
The most effective tool that the press has is a collective action – a boycott of the pool cover. This type of protest would be most effective if they are listed by the visual media arms: television stations and photojournalists in view of Trump's obsession, on television and in the pictures. But such a step is very unlikely. Outlts understandably hesitate to discontinue the ground because they cover Trump's actions and want to inform the public about what is happening in his government. In addition, you can give up the access risks in order to have the administration replaced the list of journalists with mouthpieces by Maga. That would not only be catastrophic for the news editorial offices – it would be bad for the public.
And so the Press Corps is enclosed in a factor referred to as autocratic Catch-22: Participate and risk legitimization of a manipulated system or observe how it deteriorates. The attacks from the White House are now only mounted further.
Darcy is right. The likelihood of the television channels that belong to large companies that have almost all embedded in a way, and agree to join a boycott, are slim, but a boycott is the only answer.
The White House has already caused damage by having Trump answered questions from very friendly branches. If the other branches stopped participating in the reporting on the White House, Newsmax, Fox News and other right -wing misinformation factories would still be there, but legitimate journalists would be missing.
The hard reality is that complaints did not work. Objections and heavily formulated letters did not work.
At some point the journalists have to take a position and a risk because they are slowly switched off and minimized by the Trump management. When the White House press pool becomes ten legitimate journalists and twenty propagandists, legitimate journalism is drowned or avoided by the administration.
The Press Pool of the White House tried to appease Trump for access, but appeasement never works with an authoritarian.
If the white house's press pool is not boycotting, they will be pushed out of the door and forgotten.
