As Townhall’s Katie Pavlich noted during Monday’s White House briefing, News Africa chief correspondent Simon Ateba expressed his discontent to Karine Jean-Pierre over not getting called on to ask any questions for the last several weeks at White House briefings:

“This isn’t China, this isn’t Russia, this is the United States. This is the White House,” Ateba, adding Jean-Pierre shouldn’t only call on reporters who she likes or who ask convenient questions. “There are people in the back don’t get any questions.”

“You shouldn’t discriminate against some people because you don’t agree with their question,” he continued.

Here’s how that played out:

A subsequent response from Associated Press reporter Zeke Miller contained an apology to KJP:

Really? If the reporter in question had interrupted Trump in that manner he’d be receiving the Jim Acosta Journalistic Courage Award at the next White House Correspondents Dinner.

Oh, absolutely!

“This isn’t about us.” Oh PLEASE.

But KJP appreciated the water-carrying from the AP:

Such “journalism.”

And sadly so many of them prove that ever single day.
