Biden's press office to ban media that 'traffic in conspiracy theories'

The Democrats' alliance with social media to crack down on conservative voices apparently now is manifesting itself in the White House press office.

In a feature on how media friendly to former President Trump are trying to gain access to the Biden White House, Politico cited Biden's deputy press secretary making it clear that any news outlets that "Traffic in conspiracy theories, propaganda and lies" will be forbidden.

T.J. Ducklo began with the conventional sensibility that Biden's press team expects "Reporters covering the White House to operate in good faith and tell their audience the truth, and this White House will do the same."

Ducklo's reference was to the White House Correspondents Association, the nonprofit, independent organization that handles press credentials, access to the president and the physical conditions in the White House press briefing rooms.

Is Biden's press office in having truth reported?

Even for "Experienced hands" like Press Secretary Jen Psaki, Politico said, those outlets pose "New and awkward conundrums for a White House vowing to restore normal relations with a press that has become anything but normal."

The Biden team indicated, according to Politico, that current holders of a "Hard pass" to gain access to the White House will be able to keep them if they "Meet the criteria determined together with the correspondents' association."
