The Associated Press has aired its grievances with President Biden's administration after reporters were accused of being 'disloyal' for asking probing questions.

WNU Editor: The White House Press Corps are still giving soft-ball questions to President Biden. With the exception of Fox News reporter Peter Doocy, the rest are like a bunch of young kids who are acting like lapdogs.
But elsewhere, like at the US State Department where the more "seasoned" reporters are based, some in the press have had enough.
And it is about time.
After all the lies last year stating that it would be impossible for Kabul to fall to the Taliban, which it did literally weeks later, the administration's credibility has been shot. And to put it bluntly, they have no one but themselves to blame for it.

Why is the New York Times suing for access to State Department correspondence on Hunter Biden and Romania?
"owever, what the Democrats fear most is that Biden may lose in a landslide to Donald Trump in 2024. Polls show Biden losing support among all traditional Democrat voter groups.
Perhaps the NYT is being used as a proxy in this struggle. It has certainly placed Biden in a Catch-22. "
The party elite have more than enough to oust Biden via impeachment, the 25th amendment, or other ways. They do not want to, because it would damage the party and because Kamala would be president. It would make them lose 2022 and 2024. So t he Democrat leadership is trying the thread the needle. This is a shot across the bow of Team Biden. They are trying to deter Biden from running again.

Good point.
Outside the White House press corps the media are growing hostile and are acting like journalists (albeit with an agenda).
Let us see how far this will go.
I agree. But who would they run. They've boxed themselves in. The "press" has been used this way for 50 yrs. Yes the NYT IS being used to send a message.

States Spox was a CIA analyst. Here is my question.
Should not a CIA analyst have as much mental toughness as a SEAL, marine, or your average 11B?
Unless answering question or lying causes PTSD, should Ned Price have bene there Friday?
"Should not a CIA analyst have as much mental toughness as a SEAL, marine, or your average 11B?"

Hahahaha! No, the main stream media isn't turning on Biden. That'll never happen.

Should a CIA analyst have more or less than an 11B?
Should a CIA analyst be fragile?
