Congress prohibits on-camera interviews in Capitol/office buildings

Your government at work...that they don't want you to see trying to govern.

Republicans are afraid. Good.

Is there a reasoning cited for this? Has the volume of reporters increased causing access issues? What has been the stated reason for this new policy?

These bozos can't answer questions posed to them with a straight face and want to do everything behind closed doors and without scrutiny.

The response to this will be that the media is "fake news" and dishonest. Many among Repub base are willing to carry water for their masters so they will not care.

Most transparent government ever?

No stated reason that i've seen. The practicality of this seems questionable since everybody has a smartphone in their pocket. Also every congressperson appearing on TV will surely be grilled about this decision ("What are you trying to hide?"), most uncomfortably.

Perhaps because once nepotism has reached saturation point, journalists aren't keeping an eye on politicians any more, they're spying on FAMILIES

 

[dank69]

Makes perfect sense because defending shit GOP policy is getting to be a real pain in the ass.

 

[soulcougher73]

Transparency at its finest...

I feel bad for Manu Raju

I feel bad for Manu Raju

I guess he's going to have to interview McCain in the john or something. At this point I'm getting suspicious they that they have a thing going on the side...

Just remember, the Free Press is the Enemy of the People.

We will have the best banana republic ever, believe me...

Trump merely puts to words what Republicans truly want....apparently.

 

[emperus]

At least we know what a Republican government looks like.

He showed 'em that subtlety is no longer required.
