The White House has been ordered to give Playboy senior White House reporter and CNN political analyst back his press pass. Good thing, too. Clearly Brian Karem’s is just the kind of Real News America needs:

I grew up with you in office in Louisville. The first politician I ever covered outside of my family. You are reprehensible. You are there for no one but yourself. You remain the worst of any politician I've ever covered in my life. You smear yourself. @senatemajldr https://t.co/ZiSnzceemX — Brian J. Karem (@BrianKarem) September 3, 2019

Um, OK.

don't want to go out on a limb here but i'm not sure this white house reporter is super objective https://t.co/L7he2I7fHR — David Rutz (@DavidRutz) September 4, 2019

He is, however, a hack.

Take a look, Brian. James Hasson was kind enough to put this together for you:

Now seems like a good time to remind everyone that Brian Karem—who works as a CNN political analyst and was defended by the WHCA—has a remarkable record of encountering folks on the street who give him twitter-ready quotes that magically confirm his worldview. https://t.co/J2ZTzeN1tw — James Hasson (@JamesHasson20) September 4, 2019

There was the time that Brian was apparently working alongside a 85+ year old German reporter who compared the Trump era to Nazi-era Germany pic.twitter.com/JGEiBL8gR5 — James Hasson (@JamesHasson20) September 4, 2019

There was also the time that Brian encountered an Afghanistan veteran whose son was now serving in Afghanistan…an hour after The Onion tweeted out an identical "story." pic.twitter.com/Upfw25OrM0 — James Hasson (@JamesHasson20) September 4, 2019

Of course, there's also the time that Brian was apparently wearing his press credentials in full view on the metro (?), and a young boy both recognized what they meant and asked Brian why Donald Trump hated him. pic.twitter.com/cX6dfHn88q — James Hasson (@JamesHasson20) September 4, 2019

And that's only a small sampling based on a brief twitter search. Search the guy's timeline for terms like "overheard," etc., and you'll see a ton of "quotes" and purported encounters that are tailor-made for likes and RTs. — James Hasson (@JamesHasson20) September 4, 2019

One could say that Brian Karem smears himself.
