All Hell Breaks Loose In Briefing Room - Conservative Organization Booted Out

Hey ladies and gentlemen, this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America

and there has been more chaos in the White House briefing room

Karine Jean-Pierre, she obviously cannot handle the pressure of this job. Before we get started folks, please make sure you like, comment, share, and subscribe

Those little things really help us out, and they help our channel continue to grow

So, the White House is changing the game. They're changing the rules

They can't take the pressure. They can't take the heat. It is summer, so I'll give them some leeway on that

But apparently, they are now changing the rules. They are changing the rules of what it takes to get in the White House press briefing room

And the rule change is simple. Apparently now, in order to get what is considered a hard pass, and I'll explain that to you

in just a second, but in order to get what is considered a hard pass, you also have to

have a pass for another federal organization, like a press pass for, say, the Supreme Court

And those are way harder to get if you're not a traditional news organization

A Fox News, a CNN, MSNBC, Washington Post, New York Times. Those kind of places, they can get a pass anywhere

But your smaller outlets, like, I don't know, Today News Africa, where Simon Ateba works

or the conservative organization, The Daily Signal, which just found out they're going

to be losing their hard pass, then it's not so easy. So what it seems is, all the White House wants in that press briefing room is legacy media

They just want the legacy media. They don't want to be asked the hard questions

The Daily Signal hammers them with hard questions every single day, or every single time they

actually get a chance to speak, which with Corine Jean-Pierre is not that often, because

she likes to go back to her old favorites. Then you have Simon Ateba

You guys may or may not remember him, but he's the African news reporter who has had

battles with Corine Jean-Pierre in the press briefing room. Total chaos when these two go at it

You know, he accuses her of, you know, all kinds of things, discrimination against him

because he's not an American journalist, and because frankly, he actually asks her

tough questions that she does not want to answer. If you're not following him on Twitter, you should be

He's a great follow. He breaks a lot of news. He's a very good reporter, and he's been getting the shaft from this administration

And I want you to think, here is a black African reporter

I want you to imagine what would happen if, let's say this was the Trump administration

and he was getting the cold shoulder by the press secretary. Oh, how the press would cover it

Oh, how it would be a danger to democracy. And you can't say that I'm guessing about this

You can't, well, Carmine, you don't know that. Oh, I do know that, because when a white journalist named Jim Acosta from CNN was threatened

with having his past revoked, and then ultimately had his past revoked because he turned the

briefings, the daily briefings, into the Jim Acosta show, trying to show off, trying to

get himself a job, in my opinion, as an anchor, a host of his own show on CNN, which he ultimately

landed, okay, when he was doing that, all of the media gathered around in protest, and

they fought with him so that he could get his press pass back

But you know who's fighting for the Daily Signal? You know who's fighting for Simon Atteba? Nobody. Nobody

The legacy media loves this. They love the fact that independent journalists are being singled out and being taken aside

and not being able to do their jobs. But it's the people like us, it is the people like us that scare the pants off this White

House, and frankly off any White House, because we do the job the legacy media doesn't want done

We bring people the stories they don't want heard. We tell them the things they don't want said

We're not afraid of them. We don't bow down to them. We're not begging for access to them

They have nothing for us. They have nothing to offer us. So we don't have to kiss their butt like the rest of the media does

We answer to you. And people like Simon, people like Daily Signal, they answer to you

They're not trying to score points over at the White House. They're doing the right job

And for that, they're being punished. And this is the time that all media should stand together and say, this is unacceptable

But where is everybody? Like I said, they love it. They want to stranglehold on the information

But we're never going to give it to them. We're never going to give it to them, folks

And that's why I always ask you guys to please like, comment, share, and subscribe, because

it amplifies us. It gets our message out there, and it gives us a fighting chance as the legacy media tries

to crush us and every other independent news organization. We depend on you guys

You guys are the lifeline. So keep doing what you're doing, because you've been doing a great job at it, and we so, so

appreciate it. Folks, I want your comments on this story as well

Please let me know what you think about this whole situation. And of course, as always, remember to like, share, and subscribe

I'm Carmine Sabia. This is Explain America. We love you guys. God bless you

Take care, everybody
