"reporting the news" Most have forgotten, or never knew, news is an acronym, for reporting what is happening in the North East West and South in your area or national. Not biased "interpretations", distortion and outright lies based on their political bias.
How ironic you think you have cornered the market on the truth.
You even use a falsehood to in support of your confused rhetoric.
I'm sorry you're unable to see the facts as they are.
Yes, reporting is reporting the news. In order to report the news, reporters must ask questions. When those questions go unanswered, a good reporter asks again. And again. And again. And again.
The White House reporters are being good reporters when they don't allow a question to go unanswered. Journalism 101.
If you don't like the facts, that's your problem.
Some know the difference between a serious question and gotcha biased one.
Alcindor does represent the problem in today's media. She and almost everyone on MSNBC... Many others, but that's who I've witnessed. The president has an important job right now, and they think the biggest win possible would be to undermine and humiliate him, live on camera.
Trump wears his weaknesses on his sleeve... but he also wears his strengths. He's an open book, trying to do an unscripted job in a difficult time. If you want to find something to criticize and exploit, you can easily.... but tell me, how does that help?
How does it help to attempt to undermine the president, distract from the message, and cultivate mistrust? I say attempt, because increasingly, I think people are seeing it. The news outlets who are most guilty of this are the least watched. Mistrust and blame are NOT what people want to hear right now. From either side.
There is no perfect in this... there is only people, working through a crisis. It is going to be messy, but there is nothing to be gained from nitpicking every misstep and exploiting every weakness or imperfect word used. There is much to be gained from trying to pull together to get through this. Which thing are you doing? Which goal are you supporting? Not just them, US.
Aren't some of the major "news" sites NOT televising the briefings?
Trump says so many things that are not true, whether by design or by ignorance, that a reporter not challenging those misstatements is simply not doing their job.

The msm has a history of spinning the truth, or outright lying, about what Trump says or things that had come up during his time in office. Some of those lies that the msm had run with .. all Mexicans were rapists, the virus is a hoax, he's a racist, he hates our allies, he loves dictators, etc. Most msm viewers still believe those, and many other, media spun lies. The msm most likely doesn't even remember how to report actual news anymore. The reporters are just looking for something they can spin or lie about, so they will get more clicks, more clicks equals more money in their pockets. As long as they have useful idiots to click on their spin and lies then they are happy to continue to do it.

Does he own parts of faux news??? Just wondering.
I read Fox about as much as I do the leftist corporate media, and not a fan of any of them.
But for you to call that media source as "faux", instead of Fox, shows how deeply you'd been conditioned to not believe in the "freedom of the press". It had taken eight years of conditioning to make it stick with you for almost four years later. If you did not care about "freedom of the press" back then, then how can you claim to care about it now?
