Donald Trump called on Daily Caller White House correspondent Saagar Enjeti today.

Well, consummate professional Ken Dilanian certainly seems miffed:
What was I saying earlier about Trump’s pet media. He actually called on the Daily Caller. Next up: Sputnik.

Dilanian, you see, is an intelligence and natsec reporter for NBC News. Which makes him, unlike Enjeti, a real journalist. Or something.
Terrible take, pal.

the same predictable, stupid complaint every time. @esaagar's question was fine, good lord. https://t.co/bbTuDsDtKj

You're right, @esaagar totally asked a softball question that didn't make news at all ? pic.twitter.com/rz4VA63uX0

Almost as bad as Obama calling on NBC. https://t.co/9t1AwDaeVJ

Does NBC deserve more respect than the Daily Caller?

Hey Ken, remember when you yourself got busted for your own shady journalistic practices?
Ken was literally the CIA's pet reporter https://t.co/KJk86HyA5D https://t.co/1h8a5Do1aM

Oh dear. That’s awkward. Also awkward? This:
The @CNN reporter the White House expelled last week over her questions of Trump formerly worked for @DailyCaller https://t.co/9crjZooMSI

Worth noting that at an early Trump press conference, there was a furor that he called on the Daily Caller. The reporter who upset many by asking a question of Trump was @kaitlancollins https://t.co/mkB9hjjKvM
— Ben Jacobs (@Bencjacobs) July 30, 2018
Huh. You guys did the same thing to Kaitlan Collins when she was called on while working for the @DailyCaller, but you rushed to her defense now that she's with @CNN when she was banned from a WH event. It's as if you have a bias that you need to work on

Almost!

Oh MY GOD HE DID HOW DARE HE. Do you have any idea how this makes you sound? https://t.co/nKtN5AIG44
— John Podhoretz (@jpodhoretz) July 30, 2018
Ken’s probably not self-aware enough to realize how it makes him sound. But it’s obvious to the rest of us.
Haha. What a fraud. https://t.co/SwgeO1t2vh

We’re not real journalists like Ken or anything, but we’re pretty sure that sniping about a non-legacy media outlet getting a question isn’t very professional.

That’s because there’s no actual substance to the complaints. Just kneejerk whining from entitled brats.

All journalists must stick together (if they work for the right outlets.)

Important to remember: Reporters aren't opposed to delegitimizing and attacking the media. They just want you to do it to their competition. Guessing there won't be a Reliable Sources segment on this… https://t.co/KCJn5K3X2H
