I don't even understand why reporters show up at this point.

Don't worry, soon they'll stop doing press briefings like they did in the first Trump term, which apparently everyone has forgotten about.

Because not showing up is what the administration wants.

Even worse. I don't know why they show up and pretend to be journalists. They are just propaganda mouthpieces anymore. And they have no loyalty to each other as journalists. If one of them gets ignored by the White House they just allow it and move on rather than imagining themselves as the target instead. It's sick. This country is absolutely fucked and the populace is to blame.
