State Dept. briefing on world religious freedom restricted to 'faith-based media' only
The State Department announced a Monday conference call with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that was restricted to “faith-based media” to discuss international religious freedom ahead of his trip this week to the Mideast.
The SecState himself will do a call today on religious freedom, ahead of his Middle East trip. He will also take questions. This is rare. But this is indeed only for"faith based media." One reporter from a regular ol' outlet was accidentally invited... then DISinvited. Briefings are often targeted to journalists who cover certain subjects, but insisting that reporters be from “faith-based” media is a different situation. NBC’s Andrea Mitchell — who was barred from the call — said she could not recall another instance of “religion being a test for journalists.”
Unclear why the State Department thinks everyone wouldn't like to be on that call and care about religious freedom, and ask questions, and hear answers.... I mean why limit it....
