Is the White House establishing a precedent of retaliating against reporters who don't use their preferred language, and how does this align with First Amendment commitments?
The White House representative clarifies that their approach is not about retaliating against different language use but rather about accountability for misinformation. They referenced being upfront since their first briefing that if they identify outlets in the press room pushing what they consider to be lies, they intend to hold those outlets accountable. This stance appears to distinguish between exercising editorial freedom in language choices and deliberately spreading falsehoods. The representative frames their position as one of factual accountability rather than linguistic control, suggesting they view this as compatible with First Amendment principles while maintaining their responsibility to address what they deem misinformation.
