Initially, that's what the Trump White House did, too. See: "FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE."pic.twitter.com/CiA4UA3udX
Then, a little more than a week in, it changed to "FOR PLANNING PURPOSES."pic.twitter.com/Qq0GCht5IX
That's like, a middle-ground thing, where we shouldn't publish it, but I guess we can do reporting off of it (or something, it's vague).
Then, when Trump went abroad, they went all the way to "FOR PLANNING PURPOSES/NOT REPORTABLE."pic.twitter.com/RWfcrPlLng
They were abroad, though, so I let it go because I thought it might be related to security precautions.
But, they've kept it that way since. Here's the top of Thursday's schedule: "FOR PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY // NOT REPORTABLE."pic.twitter.com/zUzBmpGRKU
Anyway, I know we have a lot going on, but this is something that has been frustrating me.
<unfin> Note: There are times the "NOT REPORTABLE" is acceptable, like, when WH gives press advance notice so we can plan travel.
Like, we got when Obama had a trip, too. When they're not announcing it publicly yet, but they understand press schedules need to be made.
That's not what they're attempting to set as the rule here. This is just taking something that used to be a public document & making it not.
The Kinja pool report bot is still cranking, breaking embargo on these every day, FWIW!http://publicpool.kinja.com/subject-daily-guidance-and-press-schedule-for-thursday-1795910603 …
Isn't this similar to the Trump Admin no longer making White House visitors public also? We'd never have known at Kisylak but for TASS.
I thought we fired him.
So if he had another screening of Finding Dory at 1pm tomorrow, you couldn't report on it? Yeah, this change is concerning.
