4. Well ... shouldn't a "courageous" reporter put that question to the Pedo_of_the_US??

It's long past time for these pussi-fied WH press folk to mount a campaign to hold PotUS accountable. The only "presidential" thing the Demented Orange Clown is doing more than Joe did, is holding numerous pressers. The opportunities to challenge him are so numerous.

It's incumbent on these players to pull on their Big Boy/Girl pants and put very tough questions to the Bozo while cameras are live. And for another colleague to follow-up on the typical non-answers with more specific questions.

YES, it will get them and their "news outlet" banned from the WH press room. YES, it will enrage Demented Donny and KKKarolyin'. But this charade of endless lies going unchallenged during WH pressers is part of the big problem. "News outlets" are not challenging the "information" (lies and deflections and insults) spoken from the podium.

Honest reporters who get fired by their corporate media overlords for speaking Truth To Power will have numerous opportunities to continue/better their careers with numerous non-corporate media outlets. Their reputation for refusing to back down to authoritarian Power over matters of truth and openness will carry their careers a long way.
