Democracy dies in chilling darkness or something
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."

One of my Grandpa proudest pieces of memorabilia was a letter received from President Truman. He showed that to me many times but never showed his war medals.RaceBannon said:https://newsmax.com/politics/biden-white-house-press-media/2021/05/11/id/1020925/

Now that I’ve received my letter from the President, I can feel him beaming with pride from above. -

Teddy would have gone total Trust Buster on Facebook, Google and Twitter. Plus, unlike modern "progressives" like the Slobberer, Teddy was an America First guy and the border would be secure let alone playing for the away teams of China, Iran and Russia.hardhat said:

I think this should be a pinned thread so we can chronicle the death of america as we know it.

A country that refuses to protect it's own borders isn't a country that will be around much longer.

I thought the former slave holding Veep solved the issue? Not a lot of coverage anymore. If you wonder why the left still wants to destroy the dickless and useless FOX News its because they still cover some things the narrative would rather they didn'tSFGbob said:A country that refuses to protect it's own borders isn't a country that will be around much longer.

And Del Rio is just one of many crossing points. We longer have a border. Anyone who wants to get into the country knows that all they need to do is have a kid with them and they're let right in. Yellow's high character President won't even talk about this let alone do anything to stop it.RaceBannon said:

The Slobberer believes in the marxist labor theory of value which is so thoroughly discredited. He just chooses to ignore a real world economic environment and this thing called history. Free shitters do that.RoadTrip said:
