The Trump White House has invited in reporters from new media to cover what's going on during his second term, and some of the "traditional" outlets have been doing some pearl clutching over being at least partially shut out or ignored.
Some of those at the "traditional" outlets live in a world of their own creation, and this clip from @WesternLensman serves as more proof. This is amazing:
This is hysterical. Dana Bash tells Nicolle Wallace that "real objective reporters" from "traditional news networks" are being undermined by reporters from right-leaning outlets. Because they ask "Dear Leader" question like "'I'm sorry, Mr. President. Are you great or are you just excellent?" Dana Bash. Nicolle Wallace. CNN. MSNOW. Bashing other outlets for being partisan and undermining the real objective journos. They would seriously have you believe that a Biden or Obama press conference wasn't full of sycophantic media. I'm dead.

The unintentional hilarity combined with the lack of self-awareness is off the charts with those two. And that's coming from two "journalists" who no doubt considered Jim Acosta to be an objective reporter.
Didn't they report every favorite flavor of ice cream Joe Biden? Did they ever ask why he was only available two hours a day?

Remember when a New York Times reporter asked Obama what he found to be the most enchanting thing about his first 100 days?

@WesternLensman Dear Leader Joe Biden given questions in advance is peak journalistic sycophancy. https://t.co/UIROqwXRYM
