Good Gawd!

What've these fucking Jesus Nazis done now? They busy immanentizing the eschaton?

CNN:

The State Dept. press corps was barred from a Pompeo briefing, and the department won't release a list of attendees but said it was for “faith-based media only”  —  The State Department on Monday said it would not be distributing a transcript or list of attendees …

Michelle Kosinski / @michlkosinski:   Now: The State Department won't release any transcript of Pompeo's briefing with “faith-based media only,” nor a list of who was invited, who attended, and whether a range of faiths was included.
Bathsheba Crocker / @shebacrocker:   It is absolutely astonishing that @StateDept is doing this — how on earth are US diplomats expected to credibly pursue press freedoms, open gov't, & accountability in other countries when our own foreign ministry does this? http://twitter.com/...
John Kirby / @johnfkirby63:   This is absolutely not OK. Cabinet officials are public servants. They work for us. When they speak to reporters on the record everything they say — in its entirety — needs to be released at the earliest appropriate time. That's proper accountability. That's what we deserve. http://twitter.com/...
Michael J. O'Loughlin / @mikeoloughlin:   Excluding specific reporters from briefings is never a good idea. At the same time, there is nothing wrong with government officials talking to reporters who cover religion.
Michael J. O'Loughlin / @mikeoloughlin:   I was on this call. I was unaware until after that it was only for religion reporters. There was at least one reporter who works for a secular publisher of religion news on the call. (I joined late so I don't know everyone who was there.) https://twitter.com/...
Andrea Mitchell / @mitchellreports:   State dept will not provide transcript of @SecPompeo call with so-called “faith based media” nor say who took part or what criteria were for participating. Usually transcripts are provided for all on the record interviews.
Friendly Atheist:   The State Department Held a Private Call Only for Faith-Based Media Outlets
Nikki Schwab / New York Post:   State Department holds call exclusively for faith-based media

Is there no First Amendment?
