A couple years ago, Nancy Pelosi expressed her anger at President Trump over his swipes at the “fake news” media:
.@realDonaldTrump’s attacks on the media are authoritarian & wrong.

Fast forward to today’s Pelosi press conference. One reporter, James Rosen, had a question about the whistleblower, and the House Speaker had no problem accusing him of bias:
Did Pelosi just call a reporter "Mr. Republican Talking Points" for asking about the whistle-blower?

JAMES ROSEN: Why the legal rights of the whistleblower should prevail in this political setting over those of President Trump, who should ordinarily enjoy a right to confront his accuser?

Pelosi later accused another reporter of pushing “fraudulent” Republican talking points with this question about hearsay being used as evidence against Trump at the impeachment hearing:
Pelosi says GOP criticism of "secondhand" testimony in the inquiry is "fraudulent."
"One the one hand they say that it is secondhand; on the other hand they obstruct all of the people who they would consider to have firsthand knowledge from testifying." https://t.co/H5JJpaJmib pic.twitter.com/VIW3hoQCcf

Gee, somebody really doesn’t want to hear any questions about the whistleblower or all the hearsay at the impeachment hearing. We wonder why! *eye roll*
Will this attack on our free press stand? Waiting for the outrage.
