Drug testing floated for White House press corps

One proposal on dealing with the media that was pitched to President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team calls for drug testing the White House press corps.

Trump’s attacks on the mainstream media were a cornerstone of his campaign and last week he called BuzzFeed a “failing pile of garbage,” but forcing reporters to undergo random drug tests would provoke a media meltdown.

The pee-in-a-cup proposal (yellow journalism indeed) was one of 13 ideas one candidate for White House press secretary wrote in November in a confidential memo to members of the Presidential Transition Team’s Executive Committee.

He didn’t get the job, and I am not naming him because his proposal could harsh the mellow of his fellow journalists.

Sean Spicer, who was spokesman for the Republican National Committee, is Trump’s press secretary, and told me, “I support whatever security measures are recommended by the Secret Service.”

“Journalists who are at the White House more than one day per week should be subject to drug screenings to occur no more than twice a year at random times,” the memo states. “Refusal to comply should exclude them from credentialing entirely.”

The job applicant also proposed taking away the right of the White House Correspondents’ Association to control reporters’ seating arrangements in the press briefing room.

The current system favors TV networks and certain newspapers at the expense of more ideologically diverse Web sites, bloggers and podcasters.

The Trump administration, the candidate wrote, “should clear a path to communicate more directly with the people and end White House press practices that serve no useful purpose other than feeding the beast.”

They say trumps attack on the media when really it's the other way around. Think of an all powerful organization that exists to manipulate everything you say, dig up or manufacture dirt on you, and push their propaganda. Even if you're not a giant trump supporter you have to admit the media can be obviously biased, ruthless and at worst liars/manipulators. It's all about the best story and whatever agenda they want to push, not the truth.

For those of you bitching, i believe it has nothing to do with trump being anti drug and everything to do with him wanting to piss off and stick it to the press who ruthlessly attack him. The idea is to inconvenience and irritate.

Trump needs to be exposed by the media.  He's got a less than perfect character.  If your going to be leader of the free world, people are going to examine you.

another thing we need to not do...is read into "news articles" where they want you to believe everything they are saying, but the jist of it is, everything comes from an "unnamed totally trustworthy source but we can't name him".


if the republicans pulled this shit, you all would be reading right through it.


damn shame they have gotten away with it for years.

I read articles by all sorts of different people.  I tend to stay away from opinion articles just for what you mentioned.  They want you to believe and they spin and try real hard to form your belief.

I study, to see whether I can learn anything useful, and I believe it's patterned -- not all-over-the-place.

I think, he sees it as putting people on notice, then quid pro quo.
