Mainstream Media Silent as Biden Purges 442 Reporters From White House

When Jim Acosta’s White House press pass was suspended in 2018, following an incident wherein he assaulted a female White House staffer, the mainstream media rallied with outrage.  They uniformly defended Acosta’s right to harass and abuse a US president and hijack a press conference.

But the liberal mainstream press is giving cover to the Biden Administration yet again.  They are virtually silent on the purge of 442 reporters who have lost hard passes after the White House changed requirements.

In May of 2023, The Gateway Pundit reported on the new rules.

In 2018, CNN sued to have Acosta’s pass restored under President Trump, but today they are silent.

Acosta even thanked his colleagues for rallying around him when a federal judge ultimately ruled that the Trump White House had to restore his hard press pass.

“Let’s go back to work.”

Chief White House Correspondent for Today News Africa, Simon Ateba, shared the letter he received, threatening to pull his press pass, with details of the new rules.

Ateba posted the full letter on Twitter:
