“Democrats are horrified when you hold them to account” – White House reporters on covering Biden admin

White House reporters admit, anonymously, that the Biden administration truly hates it when reporters actually try to hold them to account:

THE BLAZE – Progressive journalist Julia Ioffe, who has contributed to the New York Times, Washington Post, and MSNBC, interviewed White House reporters about the differences of covering President Joe Biden compared to his predecessor, Trump.

“They know how to push back and fight over headlines and parcel out dumb pre-approved scoops to people who will write about it the way they want,” an anonymous White House reporter said of Biden’s communication team.

Another unnamed White House reporter said during the Trump era, “with enough effort, you could find out what’s going on in the Situation Room,” but under the Biden regime, “You never get inside the room and hear how this s***’s going down.”

A prominent White House reporter informed Ioffe, “Democrats in general have a much thinner skin.”

“This is not unique to Trump but Republicans never expect a fair shake, so if you cover them fairly, you can have a good working relationship with them,” the anonymous journalist stated.

“Democrats de facto expect you to be on their side and are horrified when you hold them to account as you would any other administration,” the D.C. reporter added. “It goes back to the Obama years.”

“Democrats de facto expect you to be on their side” – Democrats know they control the media because they ARE the media, and therefore they can’t handle it when someone goes off the reservation and tries to hold them to account.

That’s why it happens so rarely, because reporters want access and know that in order to get that access, they too have to obey their Democrat overlords.
