The First Amendment protects everyone’s right to speak.
But press credentials have always required independence from political campaigns and lobbying.
When someone crosses that line, they’re no longer functioning primarily as a journalist.
#WaLeg #WaPolitics #Disinformation
If you spend years turning your platform into a political advocacy machine, eventually you lose the ability to pretend you’re just there to observe.
You can be an activist.
You can be a commentator.
But you can’t be both and demand press credentials.
#WApolitics #WALeg
Brandi Kruse:
Built an audience in traditional media but now runs unDivided, where she regularly campaigns for specific policies and political outcomes and promotes conservative causes and candidates.
That’s political advocacy.
Not neutral reporting.
