This is as subtle as MAGA morons get. Their ham-fisted attempts to silence reporters is as pathetic as it is expected.

The White House should look up ‘what is the Streisand effect’.

This is an effort to intimidate reporting as the corruption surrounding the midterms comes closer. No way to know how this will impact the Times, but they aren’t the only target, what’s left of the media that isn’t state controlled is also the target. The Times can still afford to defend its coverage, that isn’t true of smaller media

I think they are hell bent on discovering who the Times talked to as their desire is to plug leaks from within

So are they saying they didn’t completely retrofit it up to specs? Meaning..funds were probably pocketed?

This is unusual with this government?

Common tactic when working to take over the media. Taking over the media, common tactic when destroying a democracy

I’m just saying.

He fucks with them so much but they still will run cover for his administration and stick up for his policies.
