Send my credentials to the House of Detention

So will this be the policy going forward from now on? When a newspaper like the NYT or the WPost get an exclusive sent to them by a government source, or when CNN and NBC get told what to say by the CIA, will they immediately share it all with every other news organization? https://t.co/wFIQUGBXtg

Remember when Rachel Maddow announced she had been given exclusive copies of Trump's tax returns (which she then spent 35 minutes introducing because it revealed nothing)?

I don't remember a single person demanding she share it with all news outlets to ensure proper coverage.
Nancy Pelosi's daughter - who isn't a journalist or a security expert or anything: just Nancy's daughter - was given security footage of Fort McNair- the secure space on 1/6 - in order to make a film about her mom, and nobody objected that this compromised security.

The 1/6 Committee filed with unified political actors selectively released and withheld footage to serve their political ends. CNN got "exclusive" footage of Ft. McNair, and nobody cared. They showed Pence and McCarthy's escape route, and nobody objected:https://t.co/r3e4zHvyAQ

One of the many reasons people rightfully hate corporate media is they're frauds. They invent rules that suit their momentary needs and pretend they're long-standing. They demand to be treated as special. They've been getting exclusives like this for decades and don't share them. pic.twitter.com/EYdBWvlDSR

The fear being expressed here -- "an ideologically-based narrative...will take hold in the public consciousness" -- is what's already happened.
