White House Responds To Seattle NPR's Decision To Stop Airing Coronavirus Press Conferences
[DailyCaller] The White House criticized Wednesday the Seattle-area NPR station’s recent decision to stop airing the coronavirus task force press briefings."It’s not surprising, but also a failure of their duty to the American people, that some media outlets would choose to block their audiences from receiving accurate, up-to-date information on President Trump’s whole-of-government approach to slowing the spread of COVID-19," White House deputy press secretary Judd Deere told Daily Caller. "No other Administration has been as transparent and as accessible as this one, and we will continue to make sure this Nation hears from its leaders and top health experts during this global pandemic."  ... KUOW, the NPR station broadcasting across Washington’s Puget Sound, announced Tuesday night that they "will not be airing the briefings live due to a pattern of false or misleading information that cannot be fact checked in real time." The station noted it will still monitor the briefings and will "continue to share all news relevant to Washington State." It is past time to begin looking at defunding "National Pan-handling Radio."
