"Extremely basic follow-up queations the press are failing to ask" about opening the Strait of Hormuth

[senseandsensibility]

These very logical questions come from GOLIKEHELLMACHINE on bluesky. What actions did the admin take to prepare other countries to take on these responsibilities? What discussions have the admin held with these countries to secure the strait? Who is responsible for coordinating the efforts?

DUers, can you think of any reason that professional journalists with extremely highly paid jobs would not ask such basic questions? Don't you think the answers would shed a lot of light on what is happening here? Gosh, answers to these questions might even be more enlightening than just regurgitating trump's insane demands of our allies to fix his problems.

Just a thought.

1. Probably been told not to ask, in some direct or indirect manner. We won't answer, and if you ask you're out of here.

Based on what some European leaders have been dropping out there, it seems to me like those leaders know something big is coming, soon. I'd guess we aren't going to get a lot of back and forth over questions until whatever is going to happen this weekend, happens.

2. The current "press corps" are not, and never have been journalists.

He basically kicked out any press that had even a modicum of journalistic integrity. His "press corps" now consists of Faux snooze, Oan, etc. And even they apparently have to make sure not ask him the wrong question, or he will throw a tantrum like he did a few days ago when an oan reporter asked him a question about his illegal war. (I think it was an oan reporter, it might have been a toady from faux snooze)

3. Don't want to lose their job and impact their career in general. nt
