he won't be able to stand having limits placed on his capacity to suck up *all* the available global oxygen ~ they should show solidarity and walk out, it's not necessary to be inside the briefing room with him in order to cover him and the administration well.

Sue because the media will win. Any time another loss can be pinned on pos trump, it’s worth it.

I went into the wrong field, should have been a lawyer. Sue the shit out of those orange filled diapers.

Would like to see it, it will never happen. It’s asking people to do what our elected officials won’t. We should all be riding our politicians ass, instead of hoping for a handful to risk everything, when posting online is the most resistance most do.

Yes. All the serious journalists should walk out. Let the right wing propaganda machine stay so they can ask their silly questions and get silly answers

Walking would cause the WH to do a workaround by holding events elsewhere while saying their stance remains. Suing will work. But also, news media can no longer resist reporting on anything salacious. It's a shame.

I have thought for a long time that not covering Trump at all would be the best thing the media could do.

Walkout.

Walk out. Don’t stop covering. Be more forthcoming with the facts of Trump’s corruption and incompetence.

Dems should do big daily pressers and then all the kicked out journo's should cover the Dem presser.

All leave, he spouts bollix anyway. And sue, yeah, sue!

Report the facts and provide analysis without #TrumpRegime speeches and spokespersons. That's what the public wants anyway. Just give us the factual summaries: Chaos of the Day.

This one needs to go all the way up to the SCOTUS. Put those pricks on record with the first amendment. I'm good with the walk outs. That at least shows some journalistic integrity. Then you know all that is left is pond scum.

Attend. Be there to record. But don’t ask a question.

Walk out, sue, and then report on what the White House did or said totally unconnected from the WH message by leaving out all the WH justifications or explanations. Just report on it's utter stupidity and you get to use the phrase, "When we questioned the WH further they offered no defense."

Amendment vs. Trump

I think the networks that don't stand with those ejected will find they will lose the public's trust. This is about rights. A step further, I don't think news orgs should ever utter Trump's name or his statements. They can say the president or the administration and cover the shitshow without it.

For the present, all should walk out and leave the nuts to ask their "psychophantic" questions. Also sue and try for an emergency injunction then return with a vengeance and work together to hold the administrations feet to the fire.

I have long thought any reputable journalist should have walked out long ago. And any actual news organization interested in covering the news. All access to the White House gets you is access to a daily spate of lies. Those will be faithfully published by Fox News.Report on the truth instead.

Yes because EVERYTHING the White House says is lies. Do some real investigating and get the truth from others.

All journalists stay, remove the 🍊💩🤡 from the Whitehouse. All problems solved.😁🤩🤩 What a pathetic whiny little asshole he is!

Yes. Walkout. Stop giving him air.

Yes. And all those who stay tells you everything you need to know about them. Trump will lose in court, and then they can all return together.

Walk, & ignore his rants or print later with fact checks. To a narcissist, being ignored is unbearable. For the rest of us, a few days without outrageous lies of the day would be a blessing. Don't see how publishing the "Daily Wingnut" makes any difference at all. They preach to their own choir.

Remember Trump hates his sycophants even more than he hates people standing up to him. He regularly makes fun of them. people.com/trump-says-h...

Totally agree 💯

I don’t think they should walk out. But they should be asking themselves why they have not been tossed. If they are not asking questions that make Trump want to ban them, they are not doing their job.

Yes, an organized boycott by all major journalist outlets should insist that T agree that all recognized media, not just ones willing to kiss his ass, have a right to ask questions. He also must agree to provide solid evidence for claims rather than insist on unquestioning acceptance of his lies.

Starve the ego.

We all know how much trump craves attention he probably does this sort f thing on just for that reason.

Bury them in lawsuits.

Would he notice? Wondering if he just careens from one trigger to another.

The only people paying attention to the right wing nut job reporters are the right wing nut job cult. No loss for sane Americans if we lose reporting on what the demented, corrupt president says.

I think they should call him out when he lies, defend one another when he attacks them, and let him kick them out one by one, publicly and on camera. And then they should talk about it everywhere.

We need a free press. No one should show up to cover him- and all excluded journalists must sue.

Walk out. The main stream media has been complicit in normalizing him for ten years

They’re all just corporate shills. They won’t walk out or support their peers. Mortgages, bills, and all that to excuse their failure to live up to their responsibility to defend the First Amendment

Isn’t the Eagle Scout movement known for sexual abuse? Please report on Trump in the same way US Scouting was reported on. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boy_Sco...

There is really no reason for any legit reporter to be there other than getting video of themselves in the WH. When was the last time any actual useful information came out of the WH?

Yes, walk out. Then sue.

don’t cover inside. Do it all outside.

It’s long past time for journalists and others to act as a group. Boycott would be a great move.

I’ve always thought the best way to deal with this dipshit is too ignore him. They should all walk out. But they won’t because the media has no solidarity. They can’t even stand up for all the female reporters he insults. They are not capable.

The media that just got kicked out were tepid in their reporting anyway. Maybe they learned a lesson.

Maybe. Journalists could devote their time to investigative journalism instead. Must be plenty of deep throats out there, wanting to dish. Nothing Trump admin says is true . Might drive him mad. He loves the attention even when he hates the result.

I think that ANY journalist would. They're not journalists. The 4th estate has failed us.

We "non-journalists" should boycott anything that is left after the rest walk out. #KingCorruption tRump loves crowd size. Let the crowd be mosquitoes, you know, from the Reflecting Pool.

They should all walk out, all of them even the right wingers but since that will never happen they really need to sue.

They should boycott him.

Or maybe they can actually start acting like journalists instead of cowered propaganda props. It's like a dysfunctional family where one parent is so abusive everyone is walking on eggshells, scared they may say or do the wrong thing. That's not journalism.

Walk.

Yes

One pool reporter to make sure there’s non-Fox coverage if it happens. But other than that, yes.

They shouldn’t leave. They should be honest and use the word “fascism”. Make Trumplethinskin kick them out, too. 🍼👶

It's the collaborator's conundrum, isn't it? Or The Borg --Resistance is Futile. We will add your (Ideological) Uniqueness to Our Own. It's precisely here where we lose The Free Press. (Ironic that Bari Weiss is the most egregious example of compliance, no?)

Walk out so they aren't repeating LIES. Also, wondering when someone is gonna grow a spine and call out that this MF'er is asleep in the Oval office on camera and lies constantly!??

No, they should take it in turns to ask questions he can’t handle and get banned one by one. Make the issue as bigly as possible.

Everyone should leave

Exactly. I can’t remember one speck of actual useful news a WH reporter has received from a Trump press spokesperson.

They should all walk out. If they don’t stand up for freedom of speech and access to elected officials, what good are they? How are they any different than the wing nuts that would stay.

I think the ones kicked out should start reporting that the reason Trump allows them to stay is they don’t correct his lies or challenge him and should not be trusted.

All we really see during these White House live streams are images of Trump sleeping and dying before our eyes. If the majors stop covering him and continue to focus on how we move forward, we starve him. We need to dim his voice and focus our attention on the people's voices. Oh and Fuck AI.

No reputable news org should attend the WH press conferences

My lean is to walk out and leave the weirdo wingnuts to cover with whatever crazy press secretary that is there. I am hoping that the worm has indeed turned and the more exposure to the madness, maybe better?

I believe the journalists should stand in solidarity and all walk out, but we know the MAGAt journalists won’t!

"WE" should stop supporting the corporate media.

Members of the military and law-enforcement met with him on August 12. Closed press. They should’ve arrested him then, but they were probably licking his boots. 

The courts arleady ruled on this and he can not interfere with any press being there. The house is Americas not his and he only has an apartement and some offices in it temporarily.

A narcissistic HATES being ignored MORE than anything else. Just sayin'

Stay. We want to see the wheels come off as mid-terms approach.

Yes. Narcissists hate being ignored.

Solidarity is usually the right answer. Just ignore him altogether, but the majors are too afraid of FCC lawsuits or regulation, so they simp off and grovel.

Walk. It's not like his loopy rants provide any news anyway.

Unless said footage is worthy of worldwide public humiliation & ridicule.

More action!

His power dies when he no longer gets attention

Ice him out. He needs them like he needs air. If no one talks about him at all except to mention all of how stupid he is and how much he's singlehandedly ruined this country, it might just give us that Big Beautiful Obituary.

The best way to have him melt down is cut off his narcissistic supply. If they don't show up they can still report on his press conferences but maybe they could start calling out his lies corruption and bullshit like real journalists since they no longer need to worry about access.

All the WH does is lie, so they wouldn't miss anything.

SUE!

Fighting oppression means sacrifice. Fuck it! Bleed them dry of the attention they crave.

Right wing nuts will be left there, but they are spouting his agenda anyway. His decision to ban journalists has him all over the media. But, to be ignored is kryptonite for a narcissist. All credible media should boycott Trump’s press conferences and it will drive him bonkers.

I’d like one day, just one day, of him or anything related to him NOT being in the news.

I think don’t give him the oxygen he needs. And yes, I mean that figuratively and literally. 🤷🏻‍♀️

He already turned them into decoys. They’re jokes.

In order to right this ship, you need to break the advertisement click economy for news media. And that there is ultimately the problem. Until news media break the cycle of dependency on advert money, or learn to use it responsibly, he will hold power over them.

"Should all the journalists walk out and stop covering the White House?" is what I was responding to.

They end in compromises which move the U.S. towards fascism.

They don’t need access to the WH to do good reporting. In fact I think that access isn’t actually helpful. Trump just lies. Why ask him questions at all?

I think he’s doing it because Putin says it’s the next step. He obviously loves the attention and hearing his name everywhere all the time on every network, and berating journalists. I think he’ll miss them.

Trump shits lies 24/7. Journalists should publish them as lies. They don’t need to be there at all.

I think you're right, Miles' take is a good one.

He craves attention, so cut it off.

News can be sourced 10 feet away, outside of the wh.

I think they should boycott, and sue. He wants mainstream attention. Don't give it to him. He'll go nuts.

I feel like you don't give the public enough credit. We do understand he's a liar. We can and do get our news from independent journalists. Point out every lie, let the others see how much this regime lies.

Underrated

This!

Amen

Also refuse to give airtime to Nutlick, Scott "Tissue", Dwight/Colin Hassett, but point out the stupid things they say like today's gem beef down at the store. Just say Hassett said beef has gone down. At best that's from $13 a pound to $11. Still 100% more than normal. Point it out. No rebuttal.

No, not at all. Instead of covering it from the inside, don't refuse to cover it. Cover every single stupid thing said and done and after each message, remind viewers the WH has no comment because they refuse to be interviewed for a comment.

Exactly. When someone lies to you consistently, you walk away. Staying & providing a platform gives tacit approval to the lies. It's ridiculous to cont to cover him. It's not like he provides any meaningful info. We don't need to hear his tedious, pompous, self-righteous complaints daily.

For?

He’ll get plenty of coverage and reporters will actually report, talk to sources, etc. But MAGA will flip when he sees empty chairs, especially if outlets like NYT is missing

Are we really learning anything from any interaction with him? We know what he is. The real stories are coming from outside of his propaganda-laced tirades.

It's all just lies and verbal diarrhea coming out of there, anyway. Only thing interesting is when he falls asleep in front of everybody. Fuck it, might as well just have Fox/Newsmax/OAN there to blow smoke up his ass. Most of us have tuned it all out by now anyway...
