White House Threatens African Reporter Simon Ateba AGAIN– “Comply or Lose Press Pass”
Chief White House Correspondent for Today News Africa, Simon Ateba, has consistently pushed back against the Biden Administration in the Press Room and the White House continues to threaten him to fall in line or else.
Ateba shared the most recent attempt to silence him, a letter accusing him of “disruptive” behavior in the White House press room. Further, the letter threatens, if he continues to do what reporters are supposed to do, ask tough questions, “then your hard pass may be suspended or revoked, following notice and an opportunity to respond.”
On Jen Psaki’s final day as White House Press Secretary, Ateba repeatedly attempted to get Psaki to call on him and other reporters in the back of the room.
