The article critiques a new Trump administration policy that allows the White House to select reporters covering the president, claiming it undermines press freedom. Fox News correspondent Jacqui Heinrich argues that this approach consolidates power rather than empowering citizens. The article particularly addresses an incident involving President Trump and Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy, highlighting the troubling questions posed by the press, which are perceived as lacking journalistic integrity. Overall, it raises alarms about the role of the press as potential state propagandists under the new regime.
"This move does not give the power back to the people; it gives power to the White House." - Jacqui Heinrich, on Trump's new press policy.
"These are the kinds of questions we should expect when serious journalists are replaced with puppets who perform the role of state propagandists."
"Trump appeared to wink at Glenn, leading to speculation that the question had been scripted in advance, a speculation that is both plausible and irrelevant."
"The unprecedented role that the press played in the unseemly drama surrounding Zelenskyy is a grave concern for press freedom and accountability."
