So maddening that the rest of the White House press corps doesn't boycott all press briefings until The Associated Press is allowed back in the room.

The White House Correspondents' Association issued a sternly worded statement while it should be leading a boycott charge. Which is what I just told them using their contact form, for all the good I expect that to do.

And hurray for AP in refusing to call the Gulf of Mexico anything but The Gulf of Mexico.

Journa.hostSteve Herman (@w7voa@journa.host)Attached: 1 image Ahead of the Trump-Modi news conference we're getting word AP has been prevented from attending the event open to all White House press. It's the third consecutive day the Trump administration has punished the global wire service for not replacing 'Gulf of Mexico' with 'Gulf of America' in its dispatches.

So sad that nobody stands up for each other. Seems like most people are fine as long as it is other people being harmed. But smart folks know it is just a matter of time until the bully gets around to you.

@jeridansky
Trump won't care if independent news sources stop attending his briefings. He'll fill the room with fox and their ilk. Then we're stuck with only with what they report.

It's not like there's much by way of facts to be had anyway...

@72mz @jeridansky

Sure, but that would be an honest reflection of where we are at.

Thanks for posting this, I just sent my own comment.

Maybe more people should use their "contact us" web form to tell them this? 😁 (I just did.)
