The California governor described White House reporters as ‘sycophants’
California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized the media for what he described as overly deferential coverage of Donald Trump, characterizing reporters in Oval Office press briefings as “sycophants.”
The Democratic governor — widely seen as a potential contender for the 2028 presidential race — made the remarks during a Sunday interview with progressive commentator Jack Cocchiarella.
Cocchiarella pressed Newsom on what he framed as “hesitancy” within the White House press corps to scrutinize certain subjects: namely, the 80-year-old president’s health.
“You see these press conferences in the Oval Office,” the governor replied. “You maybe have one or two reasonable reporters. They ask a question; there’s no chance for a follow-up. And then it’s seven sycophants from news outlets.”

Can’t wait for this one to be removed, lol. I’ll write a comment anyway.
You implied trump term 2 is worse than Bush, I informed you that Bush killed millions of people in his 8 year term.
The you put words in my mouth and fucking flipped out and resorted to ad hominem attacks.
I’m under no obligation to answer your pancakes and waffles bullshit ass questions, lmao.
Seems to me like trump has a few million more people to kill before he’s even on the same level as your evil ex president. Maybe try and be a little more civil next time you talk to me.
Still dodging my question and only proving my point.
I asked if you thought Bush was just as bad as trump and you dodged the question 3 times now. A simple yes or no would suffice but we both know you can’t answer my question and you can’t admit you’re wrong.
Bush is objectively worse when it comes to murdering innocents overseas (so far). I thought my comments made that abundantly clear?
