So the White House court is ... not amused.
According to the Twitter feed of Fox News national reporter Bill Melugin, someone from the White House has let Politico know about the White House's "irritation" at his reporting on the U.S. border mess. According to Politico, whose cutesy headline was "A Doocy at the Border": There’s a tall Fox News reporter in his mid-30s with slicked back hair and an air of combative indignation who is getting under the skin of some people in JOE BIDEN’s administration. And he’s not PETER DOOCY.

Can you imagine if the media reported on Brandon like they did on Trump? Brandon's empty head would explode. KJP would have to tell everybody to shut up. All the administration cabbages would wilt.
The funny thing is, if Brandon goes out, by hook or by crook, the media and dems WILL turn on HIM as someone to own the blame. Then they can move forward, as they usually do without any sense of blame on themselves, to do exactly as they were doing before.

Once upon a time, a Reporter's JOB was to "Comfort the Afflicted, and Afflict the Comfortable." It doesn't seem like it's the government's job to be "irritated" with a reporter. And, especially, to say it out loud. It sounds as if the guy is doing what he ought to do, and here's hoping he keeps doing it.

Click on the link, near the bottom of the article, of Alexei Navalny. Ms. Showalter is right on the target with that comparison. Read about Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and Natan Sharansky, who also suffered under soviet repression and hostility. The soviets were greatly "irritated" at these 2 men as well. We are entering into a great time of woe - unless the Lord judges otherwise. Pray for national repentance, revival for the Church, and mercy.

Biden prefers the government-approved reporters. They sit in air conditioned offices in DC or NY and regurgitate the White House press releases, or comb through Twitter - hoping to find a Tweet that may offend some precious special interest group. Someone out in the real world, wearing out his shoes doing reporting, is the enemy.

Mr. Melugin is an excellent reporter. Two years ago while moving between SoCal and our current home in Idaho, the day after we left our SoCal house a huge brush fire broke out nearby. Eventually the fire got within about 1/2 mile of our house. We were able to stream Fox11 LA news, Melugin was on it. He gave accurate information on exactly what was on camera, where it was and the direction it was facing. He supplemented this with his Twitter feed, giving his exact locations and what was happening. Watching a fire approaching your neighborhood while 1,000 miles away is no fun, but in my 60+ years as a Californian I can say that Melugin did the best job covering a fire that I’ve ever seen. I’m glad he was able to go national and no surprised that he continues to do excellent work.

1) if the wh pushes against Meliquin fox will pull him back into the left side. He lives in San Diego so he is fairly well versed on the happenings on the border. BUT fox will not allow him to continue to be a voice v illegals. They will pull him back.
2) if any want to truly know what is happening on the border and in south america concerning illegals they should watch Real America Voice (RAV). Ben Bergquam is the border expert along with Oscar Blue Ramirez. Ben and Oscar reported on the panama trail that was opened about 30 days ago in order to make the illegals a faster trip. NO other was reporting on it. Or how these people are actually getting from their original country to the US border so quickly, well equipped, and healthy. No one is as good as Ben and Oscar!

Bill is a great Reporter! That said, I personally would like FOX to bring him in and give him a Monday to Friday job (maybe on FOX and FRIENDS or one of the other shows on for three hours a day. He is Gorgeous! I love his Hair! He's Buff! What can I say. I'm 80, but gosh, I can look and enjoy!! He's definitely going to go up the Ladder at FOX! He can be so much more than a Reporter at the Border!

Oh so the White House is "irritated." I have been irritated-plus for a couple of years now, ever since the election of 2020. Irritation incessant for me, fresh outrage from the White House every single day.

Thanks daisymae...I'm a few years older than you and was about to say the same thing! But I differ on the last part of your post. Right now Bill belongs at the border. Can't think of another reporter doing as good a job right now.
I'm afraid now that he's in the crosshairs of the irritated dems, they're out to destroy him bamn.

You don't catch flak unless you are over the target.

Joe, if you are irritated now, imagine how you are going to feel when the Republicans take over Congress. Whatever the Democrats can do when they are in power, the Republicans can also do when they get the power back. I hope you know a lot of lawyers and you may want to put Hunter on suicide watch.

I agree totally with #9. Handsome Melugin is the best reporter on TV. I feel sure he’s not the least bit afraid of the wimpy Nancy boys in the White House. Melugin needs to join The Five. Smart as a whip and tells it like it is. And easy on the eyes too.
