Very likely, though it could mean whatever the Biden administration wants. Point out a contradiction? Unprofessional. Be related to someone with the wrong politics that you have not loudly and publicly disowned? Unprofessional. Write an article on an unrelated topic that they do not like? Unprofessional. Express the wrong opinion about a sacred topic in private and have it get back to their ears? Unprofessional. Wrong skin color/sexual preference? Unprofessional.
Biden Administration, please do not use these examples. They are meant to be a humorous parody and cautionary, not guidelines or suggestions.
Being blunt, they're replaceable and they've been going through staff constantly since Biden came to power, Biden on the other hand is pretty important to their plans because he's such a good scapegoat and puppet.
The new rules require journalists to submit a letter to gain access to the White House grounds with information about their employment, mandating that reporters work for “an organization whose principal business is news dissemination.”
All current “hard passes,” which are used to gain access to the White House grounds and press briefings, will expire July 31.
The letter requires reporters to submit their physical address, a statement saying they have accessed the White House in the last six months and cover the White House “on a regular basis,” as well as proof of “accreditation by a press gallery in either the Supreme Court, U.S. Senate or U.S. House of Representatives.”
Reporters will also have to state they have the willingness “to submit to any necessary investigation by the U.S. Secret Service to determine eligibility for access to the White House complex, where Secret Service will determine eligibility based on whether the applicant presents a potential risk to the safety or security of the President, the Vice President, or the White House complex.”
The guidelines include a provision stating that journalists who have access to the White House maintain a “professional manner,” and not impede “events or briefings” on campus. Violators face the possibility of suspension.
“The White House expects that all hard pass holders will act in a professional manner while on White House grounds by respecting their colleagues, White House employees, and guests; observing stated restrictions on access to areas of the White House or credentialed events; and not impeding events or briefings on campus. Absent security concerns involving the United States Secret Service or other exigent circumstances, the White House will provide a written warning to you if your conduct violates these expectations. Subsequent violations may lead to the suspension or revocation of your hard pass, following notice and an opportunity to respond,” the guidance states.
“While I don’t feel upset that the White House is making changes due to my presence, it is ironic that these modifications come shortly after President Biden declared that journalism is not a crime on World Press Freedom Day. It appears that if you excel at your job, both the WHCA and the White House may work together to target you. This situation exacerbates the public’s lack of trust in the media and politicians in Washington,” Ateba told the Daily Caller.
“As we return to these prior criteria, which help ensure hard passes are in the hands of reporters who need regular access to campus as part of their duties, we are providing a nearly 3-month window for reporters to turn in their applications and reach out with any questions. The criteria will apply evenly to everyone,” the official said, according to the Post.
Remember when Trump kicked out the CNN hack and SCOTUS ordered him to readmit him?
There's no reason to hold press briefings anymore anyway. No journalist should have higher access to the president than anyone else. Just livestream on youtube and answer questions submitted by viewers.
One of the things I hated Trump for letting happen at the time was even entertaining the idea that SCOTUS could decide who enters the White House. He was trying to appear reasonable and not get impeached (lul) but he should have said deciding whoever gets access to the president and his office is Executive Privilege and a security issue and enforced the rules as he saw fit. SCOTUS is limited to giving opinions on the application of law by courts. (a role they greatly expanded in Marbury v Madison)
That's a great idea, but realistically they turn off comments... and if they don't they get destroyed. Most votes of any human in history. Nevar forget.
Everybody paying attention already understands that the WH press corps is filled with careerist sycophants with a rogue gaining access every once in a while and confounding that ugly negress flak catcher.
It's always been this way for as long as I can remember. Up to Obama, or maybe Bush II, a few old and respected reporters were allowed to pose what seemed to be uncomfortable questions. Now even the pretense of openness is gone.
The white house press corp screeched like a pack of wild monkeys when Trump was in office, but now professionalism is important. Funny how that works...
“The White House expects that all hard pass holders will act in a professional manner while on White House grounds by respecting their colleagues, White House employees, and guests;..."
If the White House lets you in the room you already aren't a journalist. You're a fucking stenographer and your job can already be done by AI that makes fewer spelling errors than you do.
Unprofessional meaning “reporter who asks serious questions” I’m assuming
They're gonna kick out that Based African reporter.
It is a rule tailor made for him.
Their only other plan was to call him Racist. But apparently he’s blacker than the useless press secretary.
Most likely

Unscripted questions you mean.
Can't have the dementia patient stumble badly enough that the normies start asking some awkward questions, afterall.
Only state-owned propagandists will be allowed from now on.
I'm betting they're doing this because of Biden's health and his press briefings are going to get even more stage managed than they already are.
Or because black lesbian can’t actually do her job and makes the administration look worse, which is a spectacular achievement in its own right.

It’s because Blackity Ann is tired of getting her ass handed to her by Peter Doocy.
Dude has a 35% approval rating with 30% of faggots that will never say otherwise. I wonder if that can get worse.

(I know pointing this out accomplishes nothing)
These guys think the USSR's only sin was being detectably violent
Well I guess that leaves Jim Acosta out.
