Washington Post Flips Out over Conservatives with WH Access:‘What’s a Legitimate News Outlet?’
breitbart ^

Posted on 03/12/2017 3:12:32 PM PDT by davikkm

Paul Farhip, a straight-down-the-middle,, objective reporter for the extremely non-partisan, ideologically unbridled Washington Post, frets about “partisan” news outlet The Daily Signal being part of the White House press corps — quite literally stating that conservatives gaining White House access evinces a slippery slope where “extremist or racist organizations” could do the same. From the Washington Post:

In an age of partisan media, the lines between “partisan” and “media” can sometimes blur.

Case in point: The pool reporter covering Vice President Pence on Thursday — that is, the reporter who supplied details about Pence’s daily activities as proxy for the rest of the press corps — was an employee of the Heritage Foundation, the conservative think tank.

In other words, the news that reporters received about the vice president came from a journalist employed by an organization with a vested interest in the direction of White House and federal policy.

"an organization with a vested interest in the direction of White House and federal policy"

rofl, all of the libtard mediascum have a "vested interest" in trying to shape national policies to their socialist vision.... WaPo, NY Times, CNN, et al are far from objective or impartial.

Who appointed WaPo to be playground monitor?

The honchos at WaPo need to go back and take remedial behavior in kindergarten.

What is a legitimate news organization? One that reports THE TRUTH ,ALL the time, and does NOT bias their stories at the orders of a political party.

That’s for starters.

The WaPo is in the pocket of the Deep anti-Trump CIA.

WP is so given over to lying in an effort to protect liberals only, that they can’t even determine what real journalism is anymore- to most people it’s a no brainer- but apparently far too hard for WP to figure out evidently

"What’s a Legitimate News Outlet?"

That's the game the White House Press Corps played with World Net Daily, until WND broke the "glass ceiling" of alternative news organization accreditation.

I see they're at it again.

The divide these days is between News outlets and Propaganda outlets. I don’t think the latter should be in White House briefings, or any other government briefings. If WaPo feels it needs actual information for its rampant Fiction then it should ask the legitimate reporters to share. Or they can read it in the blogs and on the news sites.

Obama had the Muslim brotherhood in his own akin and nobody said a word. No peep about black lives matter being in white house scheming with loretta lynch.
