CitizenVectron Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/27/media/white-house-dossier-journalists/index.html Quote The White House said in a story published Thursday that it was compiling a "very large" dossier on a Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post reporter and others who it said are a "disgrace to journalism and the American people." The astonishing revelation about the White House's efforts to discredit reporter David Fahrenthold came after The Post requested comment for a Thursday story he wrote with two colleagues. The story, co-bylined by reporters Josh Dawsey and Joshua Partlow, detailed how President Trump's company "charged the U.S. government more than $900,000" for hotel rooms fees among other services at Mar-a-Lago. In a statement, White House spokesperson Judd Deere accused The Washington Post of "blatantly interfering with the business relationships of the Trump Organization" and demanded "it must stop." "Please be advised that we are building up a very large 'dossier' on the many false David Fahrenthold and others stories as they are a disgrace to journalism and the American people," Deere said. When asked by CNN Business for further information about the dossier, Deere declined to comment. Neither White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany nor White House director of communications Alyssa Farah responded to additional emails seeking comment. Another box ticked on the proto-fascist government checklist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marioandsonic Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 If Trump gets reelected, I'm sure these people listed will start to "mysteriously" disappear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If his administration treats the task of disappearing these journalists with the level of urgency they treat anything else then they really don't have much to worry about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewhyteboar Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 So this administration has a list of enemies, is supported by numerous groups of armed militia, and does everything they can to boost white supremacy. American democracy is doing great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
