They got 12 to vote for it because they realized that outlawing abortion and gay marriage at the same time would be disastrous, but they've engineered their conservative supreme court without brakes.

Well now instead of simply reversing themselves on Obgerfell, they would actually have to rule that same sex marriage is unconstitutional

Don't post that in USCE.

I got dog-piled for daring to suggest that Congress should pass a law legalizing same sex marriage everywhere even if a supreme court ruling to overturn Obergefell would also overturn that portion of the law too.

Just my impression, but the White House press corps is pissy because they were told there would be no press at the wedding but pictures from a pre-wedding photo shoot were published in Vanity Fair. Obviously this is exactly as bad as all the lies the Trump administration told, because it thwarted the desires of journalists to feel like they're actually friends with the people they're reporting on. Or to feel important. Something like that.

The Biden administration politely asked the media for privacy, then allowed a fashion magazine to document their granddaughter's wedding. The Trump administration told the media to go gently caress itself, then all of them committed a bunch of crimes. These things are exactly the same.

(note this is from yesterday)

I remember when the WH press corps threw a walleyed fit about Biden not doing press conferences so he did one and they just asked bad faith questions about Afghanistan the whole time and nothing else.

Ah see they had a loophole to get out of the binding agreement that the press gets to go to everything all the time.

It's not even that they want to hate Biden, it's that they made so much money and got to do so many cable hits about Trump poo poo, and they barely had to look. Huge leaks would just land in their laps and they could get 15 column inches out of a couple of Trump tweets, now they have to dig, and press, and cajole and for all that no one is watching them and the news orgs are taking an absolute bath. Even worse: no huge, pertinent scandals to sit on until they write their book about it.

Journalism is good and important, in the main. This does not extend to political correspondents who do their best to obfuscate real issues in favor of horse race narratives, winners and losers, and back hall gossip.

They are so desperate to turn this wedding into something that anyone not invited to it could possibly give a poo poo about. I can't tell if it's envy for the British Press's Royal Wedding gigs, or just an attempt to find a scandal before Thanksgiving without getting out of their chair.

After careful consideration, the Biden administration has admitted it has made a mistake in this matter; it will be rectifying it by abolishing the White House press corps.

It's the natural consequence of a world with no upper bound on how much news there can be. You aren't trying to move a newspaper or a magazine, you are pursuing Clicks and ad impressions, and the clicks must flow. Nothing is too trivial or stupid, for everyone needs Content, and they take grave offense to being denied any kind of content (especially the poo poo that's easy to write about).

Government cannot be boring and private lives cannot stay private, in this world, because they don't give a poo poo about reality or what's good for society, but rather that their source of income is running dry.

From what I recall 24-hour news didn't really exist until 9/11, when the networks first spent several continuous days covering it and haven't stopped yet

CNN was started in 1980. MSNBC and Fox News in 1996. For CNN the big break was the first Gulf War. Fox came out swinging against Clinton and came into their own with the impeachment. MSNBC never actually became a real player, but their big thing was being the resistance to W after the 9/11 invulnerability star faded. 9/11 just made everything temporarily 24/7 news and brought the terrible genre to it's pinnacle.
