    This. Especially reporters. They should all call out lies and abuse without hesitation. Access to the Whitehouse press office isn’t worth it. Don’t even cover that shit. Make Trump have to step outside if he wants an audience.

      Reporters are disporoportionaly from wealthy families. Poor people are less able to work unpaid internships for 3-4 years to get their foot in the door. They aren’t the wealthy members of their families but they usually from well off backgrounds.

      There are exceptions but most of them have some class bias.

      It’s who is on the board of the non-profits and who owns the for-profits that are making these decisions. I blame them and the headline writers (which is probably them too).
