1. Can she name who the press secretary is?

[gratuitous]

2. His last press conference was . . . when, Kyra?

Of course you can ask any question you want to ask. He'll just waddle off if he doesn't want to answer. But by golly, you got to ask your question! Freedumb!

[Blecht]

3. It's infuriating

It's not just politics -- goddamn fucking journalists need to be able to distinguish reality from propaganda. It used to be a part of their jobs.

How about analyzing the bullshit responses you get to those questions in real time? It's not that hard with the brazen lies that buffoon spews at every opportunity.

On edit: I just read the responses on Twitter -- some really good ones:

4. Kyra Phillips is an imbecile.

Interesting to see she hasn't gained one more functional brain cell since leaving CNN.

5. For sure..the WH press continues to walk the fence just to keep their credentials...

Just yesterday, a reporter was able to ask the orange anus about his hate filled, racist filled comments about Rep. Omar - which opened the door for the pos of shit to step in, and continue his hate filled, racist filled venom -

He won't stop...

10. credentialing of WH reporters was given away to the WH press office some decades ago...MISTAKE

Credentialing was originally the authority of the White House Correspondents Association -- the peer organization. It should be returned there. I've been fighting for this since 2004, during the Bush administration when a stooge was discovered in the Briefing Room; allowed entry by Karl Rove. The stooge was a very unsavory character and a freeper to boot, and this caused a scandal. (google Jeff Gannon) We could see then that credentialing and authority over the press needed to go back to the WHCA.

And now we see why, as Trump beats reporters up at will.

See the FB page "People's Bill Of Rights For White House Transparency" -- an effort to strengthen the press corps.

Reporters covering Congress have their access guaranteed in the Rules of the Senate. They are protected from tyranny.

Nothing like that exists to protect WH reporters.

13. Thank you for this information Grasswire2...I did not know that -

7. .........

[Grasswire2]

8. B.S. and I totally reject your characterization of this as "the media'

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

This is not on "the press", whose reporters every day put themselves between the people and tyranny. Who actually face danger in their jobs. Who have brought us every stinking thing we know about corruption in government.

Who does she work for? Huh? Huh?

I'm infuriated by this attack in your subject line.

12. Then the "media" needs to start rejecting FAUX news as part of them. FAUX News is part of a ...

... political party and not at all trying to be independent from republicans.

They are at least disgusting

[Grasswire2]

16. yes -- it's "state tv" now. nt

[pangaia]

11. dumb shit...

[Dirty Socialist]

14. Oh FFS Kyra

Don't piss on us and tell us it's raining!

15. The M$M

reminds me of the crowds that would form, but never intervene,
when a chick fight broke out. It was both genders yelling and
screaming. Waiting for hair to be a weapon or a liability, but mostly
about clothes being torn to expose bare flesh.

As with everything else there are those in M&M that do and say
absolutely anything, regardless of the harm they cause, just so
they can score a scoop or headline.

It is all about the benjamins. If the truth mattered FOX News and the
Republican Party would cease exist.
