The White House regularly demands a chance to edit administration officials' quotes before they go to print, it was reported Monday.
Five reporters who cover President Joe Biden's White House told Politico that interviews frequently are conducted on grounds known as "background with quote approval."
Basically, that means for a person's name to be attached to a quote, the reporter must transcribe the quotes and send them to the White House communications office for approval.
Former President Barack Obama's White House employed the practice, as did former President Donald Trump's White House, with the latter doing so much more sparingly, according to reporters.
"The rule treats [officials] like coddled Capitol Hill pages, and that’s not who they are or the protections they deserve," one White House reporter told the news outlet.
"Have any reporters talked about mutinying?" another reporter asked. "If you start fomenting an insurrection, keep me updated."
Bonus story - Me Too Biden Just Like Trump Only Worse

President Joe Biden is sending out letters to those Americans who received stimulus checks from the federal government.
The Washington Examiner claimed Biden is eager to get credit from voters for the federal aid.
The one-page letter is being mailed out by the Internal Revenue Service, but written on White House stationery, according to USA Today. The letter, with Biden’s signature, is similar to one by then-President Donald Trump sent last year. That letter sparked accusations that Trump was politicizing the IRS.
The new Biden letter is addressed to "My fellow American," and it touts Biden’s $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package that provided emergency assistance to eligible Americans, including direct payments of up to $1,400.
"When I took office, I promised the American people that help was on the way," Biden wrote. "The American Rescue Plan makes good on that promise."
