I’m trying to envision the left wing media had it been Trump – in the middle of the pandemic – saying . . . I will charge you for covid tests to enter the white house and come to the press briefings for talk to people.

The White House will reportedly begin charging reporters $170 for coronavirus tests upon entry into “The People’s House,” first reported the Washington Post.

News organizations will now be required to foot the bill each time a reporter enters the White House – a policy that has prompted backlash on social media, and has been interpreted as an “admission fee”

Has Biden somehow already busted the white house budget?

News organizations have already been limited in the number of press they are allowed to send into the White House due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Oooooooh a new way to limit the number of press at the briefings!

This was Trump or a republican president, they would be calls for impeachment, howls of first amendment rights, questions of what the president was trying to hid. Wonder how much traction this well get before Biden says “whoops I’m sorry . . . this shouldn’t have happened.”

Hmm wonder why I don’t see this on the front page of CNN.

Um, no there wouldn’t be. In fact, I’d be highly impressed.

The government should pick up this tab.

Why do they even need them? We haven’t vaccinated white house staff yet? Not to mention they would be fairly useless, since you can easily test negative while being able to transmit it.

Vaccines aren’t 100% effective.

The White House won’t impose fees on reporters who are in the presidential or vice presidential “pools” that relay news from live events, or for journalists whose outlets have a seat at a press briefing that day.

Funny how so many on the right called us on the left sore losers after the 2016 election.
After four months you guys are starting to top the charts.
But hey, keep repeating the big lie and watch the party of Trump slowly sink into the depths.

They should offer the tests for free, this is dumbass.

Why? They are employees of the corporation.

I’m with Jbiden on this. The hyenas can pay for their own.

Meh. Typically employers are responsible for testing. The White House has covered it for a while now.

The WH should encourage the press to come in and ask questions.

Didn’t mask up for the flu or any of the other respiratory diseases.
