The recent White House influencer briefing, led by Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, featured MAGA-friendly influencers asking questions that favored pro-Trump narratives and dismissed critical journalism. The briefing, which felt like a mutual admiration society, lacked any real challenge or conflict, with questions often framed as statements praising the White House or attacking legacy media. This format raises concerns about the erosion of journalistic standards and accountability, showcasing a departure from traditional press briefing dynamics and a troubling embrace of partisan rhetoric.
It's refreshing to actually hear a question on election integrity, because the legacy media would never ask such a question, ignoring the media's inquiries into 2020.
The results of the new-media briefing should be deeply embarrassing for everyone involved, highlighting the lack of challenge and conflict in this format.
