Earlier, we wrote about some of the mainstream media "journalists" who were taking to the Twitter/X machine to express their outrage over the decision by the Trump White House to remove the White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) from the process of vetting prospective pool reporters for press access to the administration.

“Legacy outlets who have participated in the press pool for decades will still be allowed to join, fear not," press secretary Karoline Leavitt said during the Tuesday press briefing. "But [the White House] will also be offering the privilege to well-deserving outlets who have never been allowed to share in this awesome responsibility."

The press meltdowns that ensued were something else, with the New York Times' chief White House correspondent, Peter Baker, comparing President Donald Trump to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Baker, I should point out, is the husband of leftist "New Yorker" writer Susan Glasser, who mocked Trump's debate claim that then-VP Kamala Harris supported taxpayer-funded gender surgeries for illegal immigrant transgender inmates (a true claim). Glasser is also the journo who Vice President JD Vance nuked after she equated Trump's removal of the Milley portrait ("erasing the past," she called it) to something a dictator would do.

But back to Baker's tweets, in the first one, he said Trump's actions reminded him of how Putin put strict controls on press access early on:

Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.

Leavitt saw the tweet and responded accordingly:

Give me a break, Peter. 

Moments after you tweeted this, the President invited journalists into the Oval and took questions for nearly an hour.

Your hysterical reaction to our long overdue and much needed change to an outdated organization is precisely why we made it. 

Gone are the days where left-wing stenographers posing as journalists, such as yourself, dictate who gets to ask what.

Give me a break, Peter.🤡

And to emphasize the point, Trump has been giving access to reporters from a variety of news organizations sometimes multiple times a day, not just in the Oval Office but elsewhere, something he did on Day One and which he's continued to do since then. 

In fact, he's made himself available for questioning by the various MSM outlets so much that CNN media hall monitor Brian Stelter, who for years has preached about the necessity of presidential administrations giving reporters as much face time as possible (except when they're Democrats like Joe Biden), actually complained about it in a post written on the day of the Super Bowl, which Trump attended:

Think about it: A year ago you could go days without seeing or thinking about Joe Biden. Now you’re lucky if you can go hours without thinking about President Trump. He’s inescapable. And that’s just how he likes it. Today: The Super Bowl is also the Trump Bowl.

The corporate media wants it their way and their way only on all matters. Thankfully, the Trump White House has other ideas.
