‘New Media’ Reporter Straight Up Asks Karoline Leavitt to Tell Her What to Cover: ‘What Direction Do You Advise Me to Go In?’A member of the “new media” reporting on the White House essentially asked Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt how to cover President Donald Trump’s administration.
Hours after her Monday morning briefing, Leavitt held a second briefing solely for members of the “new media” — a collection of correspondents representing independent outlets not traditionally given access to the White House. The inclusion of these voices in the briefing room has been met with criticism due to the fact that many of them come from pro-Trump outlets whose questions have been more sycophantic than serious.
During the new media briefing, American First Policy Institute ambassador Kambree Nelson first bashed traditional media outlets for their coverage of the president — before asking Leavitt to give her marching orders.
“I’ve noticed — this is kind of like a repeat of 2016 — the legacy media has gone back to not reporting anything on President Trump,” Nelson said. “In the beginning, we had them reporting everything that he was doing. Now, they’re kind of going back, again, to not reporting everything that he is actually doing.
“I’m kind of the nerd when it comes to reporting. I’m not the headline news girl. I’m the nuts-and-bolts, I’m the policy-type nerd; so what direction do you advise me to go into? Like the White House files that y’all send out every single day? Because that’s what people are used to. When they wanna ask me questions, they wanna know the nuts and bolts of everything.”
Leavitt replied: “I wish there were people in the legacy media that were like you. And didn’t focus on the sensationalist headlines but actually cared about the facts. The president is doing so many phenomenal things every day that will never be mentioned on cable news at night … signing executive orders…we are do our absolute best to message that. Which is, again, why we’re welcoming independent voices like yours with followings on social media. Because that’s the best way to get those truths and those facts out there.”
