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?
I wasn’t talking about murdering brown people overseas dude holy shit lmao. Obama and Biden did that too. But sure, add some ryder to the end so in some niche way Bush was worse than Trump.
Reach harder next time. Terribly braindead take lol. You have to be a troll cuz there’s no way people like you actually exist.
Do you not know how to read or something, lmao?
Also, to recap again since you seem to have short term memory loss, I asked you if Bush was worse than Trump, and after dodging the question 3 times you brought up some specific niche stat line to show Bush bombed more brown people (so far) so technically trump is better.
I wasn’t asking about that one specific stat you brought up I was asking overall. Thought my comment made that abundantly clear? Lol get lost troll.
Bush murdered more innocent civilians, so yes he is worse than Trump. Do you have learning difficulties? Honest question.
Do you not know how to answer questions? LMAO
also still wild you think Bush Jr was a worse president than Trump.
In terms of civilian deaths… Yes. The question has been answered, despite me having no obligations to answer them. This is why I asked if you can read, lol.
