The ring-kissing media outlets of the administration’s choosing will most assuredly not do actual journalism.
Did you watch the press conference Thursday with the president & prime minister? No ring kissing there. Lots of hard questions that the president ignored. The prime minister even got a few digs in. Just because you have access to him doesn't mean he will answer your question.
And hey, with the decimation of NOAA/NWS, this move ensures no media outlets will be holding the administration accountable for the guaranteed, assured consequences of their actions which will absolutely result in preventable deaths.
The government doesn't "guarantee" NOAA information.
