A liberal Washington Post columnist is blaming two foot surgeries and anti-President Trump views among the reasons the White House has cut him off at the knees. Dana Milbank announced in a column Wednesday that the press office at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue has stripped him of his press pass. In a pretty sappy column, he explained that for the last 21 years he has had a “front-row seat to history.” I won’t bore you with the various moments in history that have touched him, but he said he’s not the only reporter who is suffering the loss. The new rule

Cry baby!! Why should the President (or anyone else) invite someone into his/her home who is actively trying to destroy them?
I suggest that Milbank go stand in the corner and suck his/her thumb until he/she learns to behave while in the White House.

Losing his White House pass couldn´t happen to a more deserving ***clown. The dreck Dana Milbank writes has nothing to do with reporting. So why should he be allowed to continue to go to meetings pretending to be a reporter?

If social media like FaceBook, Twitter, et al, can cut off Conservatives and deny them a platform, the White House can do it to the likes of Dana Milbank and his cohorts. Good for the goose, good for the gander. Social justice.

"Milbank insisted he’s not looking for readers to feel sorry for him."
Good. He won´t be disappointed. When you call for impeachment for no reason at all, you are not a reporter you are an old biased activist with an addled brain.

My local leftist rag carries his hateful column. I can´t even get past his photo - why doesn´t this guy shave his face for goodness sake!? He looks like Jack Nicholson in The Shining.

FTA "“Jew haters have enjoyed record greatness during the Trump presidency,” he wrote. “Saturday’s deadly attack at a California synagogue came exactly six months after a massacre at a synagogue in Pittsburgh. …Trump famously said there were some “very fine people” among the white supremacists who came to Charlottesville in 2017 for a white-nationalist rally at which armed neo-Nazis carried torches, chanted “Jews will not replace us” and killed a counterprotester.”"
Dana Milktoast is a reporter of fake news, a partisan leftist hack working for a leftist propagandist newspaper and is a little whiney arse! Trump never said white-nationalists were "very fine people" that´s pure BS that the left wants to push 24/7. If there are any Jew haters in DC they´re all Democrats including the anti-semitic Washington Post. Love what President Trump is doing to the fake news reporters and newspapers! Godspeed President Trump!

When the White House press corps are attending a WH presser, an assistant will pull a number out of hat that corresponds to the reporter´s press pass number. That reporter will be immediately and for no reason stripped of their credentials, banned from the White House, and doxxed. I´ve seen this kind of thing happening all over this socialist land, so I know it´s acceptable!/s

Why should an opinion writer have a WH press pass? Dana has never written an objective news article in his life.

Why does he need to attend any news event? Just makes it up and editorializes his opinion anyway.

Awwwww….. Poor widdle Dana…
I learned to dislike this little twerp decades ago when he was one of the Libs on the deliberately diverse panels and roundtables that were on PBS and other channels. Dana had little of value to contribute. He looked pretty silly as he is very short. So short that when he was shown seated on a chair like everyone else, his feet didn’t quite touch the floor. Rather like a child.
His “sketches” are nasty little hit pieces. Nothing of value.

Maybe he thinks if he boo hoos enough like Acosta did it will get restored. Trump would not dream of denying somebody access because of foot surgery. In fact, if the person was somebody Trump felt was a good contributor, he would order every accommodation be made for that person. Millbank hasn´t done his job in years, and THAT is why you sniveling jerk you got your pass yanked.

Milbank is one of those folks that are very worthy of being entirely, totally ignored.
Collectively, they are The Enemedia, people dedicated to Fake News, lies and propaganda, seeking each and every day to find ways to distort, spin and often just make up things to print about Republicans and the President which will gain the Dems, the left, and all the anti-American factions some political advantage. They have no interest in facts or "the truth", they are propagandists.
Keep them out of the White House. It is a good thing.

Expecting reporters to attend at least half of the White House press briefings is perfectly reasonable.

That pass press is a privilege not a right. Perhaps you should crack open a dictionary and find out the difference.

Maybe the WH thought it should have been mouth surgery instead of foot surgery.

"there’s something wrong with a president having the power to decide which journalists can cover him."
Milbank is not being stopped from covering Trump. Anytime he wants to he can write an article. Since it is obvious that facts and truth are not components of Milbank´s coverage, he shouldn´t need WH press access. He can make things up, just as he has been, from the comfort of his own home with his sore foot up on a pillow. I think Trump is being compassionate to Dana.
