White House will now determine who is a “Professional Journalist”

Good day all. The contempt for the constitution by the Democrats in general and the Biden Maladministration in particular continues. One of the issues that the White House has is with the few journalists/reporters who are actually doing their jobs.

Most of the White House Press Corps are basically nothing more than apple polishers, bootlickers and ass kissers for the Democrat Party. A few, such as Peter Doocy, have actually been doing their jobs and holding the President and his spokesIdiots feet to the fire. This has annoyed them and now they are issuing rules dealing with those they determine are “Unprofessional.” (Read properly subservient) Here are the details from the Daily Caller:

The White House released new requirements Friday outlining which journalists are allowed in the briefing room and presidential events, and warning about unprofessional behavior.

The new rules require journalists to submit a letter to gain access to the White House grounds with information about their employment, mandating that reporters work for “an organization whose principal business is news dissemination.”

Translation: Organizations that will only publish our narrative and will suppress all other points of view.

The rule change comes as the administration has been facing repeated outbursts in the briefing room from reporters like Simon Ateba, and comes days after World Press Freedom Day. Journalists have called out White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre for not giving fair representation in the briefing room and the Biden administration has faced criticism from the press corps over unfair access to White House events.

The letter requires reporters to submit their physical address, a statement saying they have accessed the White House in the last six months and cover the White House “on a regular basis,” as well as proof of “accreditation by a press gallery in either the Supreme Court, U.S. Senate or U.S. House of Representatives.”

Now the physical address, I’m assuming their home address. Interestingly, all of these people are given the once over by the Secret Service in the first place, so all that information is already available. My guess is, this is just to make it harder for people that the maladministration doesn’t want to deal with to get a press pass. Additionally, all the current passes expire July 31st.

Reporters will also have to state they have the willingness “to submit to any necessary investigation by the U.S. Secret Service to determine eligibility for access to the White House complex, where Secret Service will determine eligibility based on whether the applicant presents a potential risk to the safety or security of the President, the Vice President, or the White House complex.”

I would have assumed that this was already a part of the process. If it isn’t, then why isn’t it? As to who they decide is a security risk? Right off the bat, it’s anyone who’s written anything positive about the Greatest President of the 21st Century, Donald Trump.

The guidelines include a provision stating that journalists who have access to the White House maintain a “professional manner,” and not impede “events or briefings” on campus. Violators face the possibility of suspension.

And just what does that mean? No more shouting out questions to the Liar in Chief?

The Trump administration attempted to temporarily ban several reporters who had confrontations with administration staff. A federal appeals court ruled that journalist Brian Karem, who shared a heated exchange with Sebastian Gorka, did not have “fair notice” to have his credentials revoked.

I have a suspicion that this is how they intend to get around bouncing anyone they don’t like. Even though Fox News has jumped the Woke shark, there is still Peter Doocy. Then we have OAN and Newsmax. In fact, you have dozens of news services that are all web based. Many of them do serve niche markets, but they are no less capable then the drooling horde that makes up most of the MSM. Most of them are actually real reporters, not the propagandists for the DNC that refer to themselves a “Journalists.”

The White House did not immediately respond to the Caller about why they are making the changes to pass requirements at this time, but an official told the New York Post the rule change had been in the works “for more than a year” and is a product of “feedback of journalists covering the White House.”

As we return to these prior criteria, which help ensure hard passes are in the hands of reporters who need regular access to campus as part of their duties, we are providing a nearly 3-month window for reporters to turn in their applications and reach out with any questions. The criteria will apply evenly to everyone,” the official said, according to the Post.

This is just another assault on the American People. The Biden Maladministration is getting regularly torn apart by a few real reporters, and this forces the sheep, lickspittles, ass kissers and others in the White House Press Corps to actually do work. The would rather just take the prepared questions from the White House Press office and pretend that they are actual, original, hard hitting questions for Dementia Joe Biden.

I really miss the days of the press conferences that President Trump would hold. Of course, the White House press Corps wasn’t to happy with them since he usually scorched the earth with his responses, and generally showed them to be the fools we all know they are.

Well, we shall see how all this plays out. It’s going to be very interesting how the is going to deal with all the Biden scandals bubbling up like the contents of a leaking septic tank, especially if Hoovernose Biden is indicted.
