CNN Bans White House Pool Reporters From Debate Room https://www.usnews.com/news/top-news/articles/2024-06-27/cnn-bans-white-house-pool-reporters-from-debate-room WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House Correspondents' Association said on Thursday CNN has rejected multiple requests to include White House pool reporters inside the studio during the first presidential debate between incumbent Joe Biden and Republican rival Donald Trump. The press pool, made up of representatives of major news organizations including Reuters, accompanies the president on foreign and domestic trips and normally has access to any event where he speaks or appears in public, with the goal of keeping the U.S. public informed. It is extremely rare for them to be barred from an event in the United States. "WHCA is deeply concerned that CNN has rejected our repeated requests to include the White House travel pool inside the studio," Kelly O'Donnell, president of the White House Correspondents' Association, said in a statement. Why weren’t reporters allowed to watch the debate? |
Another reason why Trump is so much more capable and battle hardened to save the country. Dems are soft and weak from coddling. |
Biden didn't want anyone in the audience, not even reporters. He already had trouble figuring out where to look and there were only two moderators in front of him. |
“Dr. Kevin O’Connor wrote in the memo to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre that neurologist Dr. Kevin Cannard was among a range of specialists who has examined Biden during his annual physicals. Biden, 81, has not seen a neurologist outside of his physical, O’Connor said. O’Connor added that Cannard, the neurology consultant to the White House Medical Unit since 2012, has held regular neurology clinics at the White House for years for the thousands of active-duty military members assigned to White House operations. “Many military personnel experience neurological issues related to their service, and Dr. Cannard regularly visits the WHMU as part of this General Neurology practice,” O’Connor wrote.“ https://ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/politics/2024/07/09/president-joe-biden-doctor-memo-parkinson-s-disease-speculation If a Military member is showing clinical signs of a neurological disorder, they are not working at the White House. A terrible lie and coverup. |
First they said the neurologist was not there to see Biden. Now they admit he was. Why is it so hard for Biden and his team to be honest? Let’s release the neurologist’s report then. |
Excellent idea. |
I believe the neurologist visited during Trump's term also, so that would need to be released also. |
+1 when was Biden’s last press conference? He had multiple pages of reporter photos at one, as if that guy hasn’t been in DC long enough to recognize reporters by name. |
Trump took a cognitive test. Are you demanding one of Biden? Because Biden refuses. |
Mop head is the most idiotic, shameless, and dishonest White House press secretary in history. Another DEI hire that they probably regret. |
Didn’t he release the examination report? And people were mocking him and the test? Cmon Joe, do the test and release the results. You are a big boy, you can do it. |
After all, I am sure he answered all the neurologist's questions!! |
I doubt Trump would be leading anywhere if the media focused as much on Trump's issues as they did on Biden's debate. Night after night, at Trump's rallies, he goes on and on with incoherent rambling, slurred speech, constant lying and inability to complete a thought. Why isn't the media paying as much attention to that, and having unethical neurologists make diagnoses from afar without examining him as they've now done to Biden? Why aren't they comparing Trump today to Trump 20 years ago to highlight his tremendous mental decline? Why aren't they questioning the fact that Trump is already older that Biden was when Biden ran? |
"Didn't Trump release the examination result?" NO. Do you have a link showing the actual full results of a comprehensive neurological report for Donald Trump to prove it? All we got was Trump saying "oh it was a really hard test, you had to remember and repeat things like 'person man woman camera tv' but I passed it with flying colors." We never saw the actual test results. They weren't released. And, that was a long time ago. Meanwhile, Trump has continued to decline significantly. |
I can’t vote for someone who cannot speak without a teleprompter in order to be coherent. What a greedy family. I agree with that Atlantic writer: he’s like grandpa unwilling to relinquish his car keys. But who he is hurting is the country.
If DNC is riding for Biden, I will have to vote Trump, something I never thought I would do. |
