The Post, which broke the story about Hunter Biden&#8217;s abandoned laptop in 2020, was denied access to Biden&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-email-reportedly-names-kamala-harris-others-as-key-contacts-for-joint-venture-with-china-energy-co\/\" title=\"Hunter Biden Email Reportedly Names Kamala Harris, Others as Key Contacts for 'Joint Venture' With China Energy Co.\">press event<\/a> on airline policies with Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. The move comes as federal prosecutors are wrapping up a tax investigation into Hunter Biden, which could result in criminal charges. <\/p>\n<h3>Empty Media Seats Raise Questions<\/h3>\n<p>Photos from the event show that there were around 20 empty media seats, undermining the White House&#8217;s explanation for blocking the Post. The White House press office told the Post that it was &#8220;unable to accommodate&#8221; its request for credentials, but the remarks were live-streamed and could be viewed on WH.gov. <\/p>\n<h3>Setting an Anti-Press Freedom Precedent<\/h3>\n<p>Steven Nelson, the Post reporter who was denied access, accused Biden&#8217;s staff of &#8220;setting an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-blocks-new-york-post-reporter-from-rare-biden-event\/\" title=\"NY Post reporter barred from rare Biden event by White House.\">anti-press freedom precedent<\/a> by prescreening journalists allowed to attend large indoor events.&#8221; He noted that the White House Correspondents&#8217; Association has called on the administration to restore large indoor spaces to their historical status as open to all. If the Biden White House continues to discriminate against large outlets such as the New York Post, future administrations could do the same to other newspapers. <\/p>\n<h3>End Discrimination Against Large Outlets<\/h3>\n<p>The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment, and the White House Correspondents&#8217; Association also did not respond to a request for comment. The Post&#8217;s exclusion from the event raises concerns about media access and press freedom, and if the Biden White House continues to discriminate against large outlets, it should end now. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use of HTML for formatting<\/li>\n<li>Inclusion of h2 and h3 tags<\/li>\n<li>Use of bold text<\/li>\n<li>Inclusion of a list<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Biden threatened in February that outlet would be cut off until it had &#8216;more polite&#8217; reporters The White House blocked the New York Post from covering a Monday public event with President Joe Biden, according to the paper, a sign the president&#8217;s team is increasingly sensitive to coverage of the president&#8217;s son, Hunter Biden, and<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":120,"featured_media":1927120,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[544],"tags":[9500,3620,4864,3653,4899,7685,5046,3765],"class_list":["post-1927119","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-free-beacon","tag-barred","tag-biden","tag-event","tag-house","tag-post","tag-rare","tag-reporter","tag-white"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1927119","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/120"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1927119"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1927119\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1927120"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1927119"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1927119"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1927119"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
