White House Slams MS NOW Correspondent Over 'Beyond Sick' Reaction to D.C. Shooting of National Guardsmen
The White House has unleashed a scathing attack on MS NOW correspondent Ken Dilanian, who had made comments about the shooting of two National Guardsmen in Washington D.C. that were deemed "beyond sick" by the administration.
During the network's breaking news coverage, Dilanian was asked about the environment in D.C. since President Donald Trump deployed the National Guard earlier this year. He responded by noting how the National Guard's presence has been normalized, and it was no longer seen as controversial after D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser embraced the deployment.
However, Dilanian took a sharp turn when he mentioned that there are concerns about other law enforcement officials wearing uniforms, implying that some Americans might object to this. He also questioned the legality of the National Guard deployment in D.C., citing a federal judge's ruling that it was unlawful, which the Trump administration is appealing.
The White House swiftly responded on social media, labeling Dilanian's comments as "beyond sick" and suggesting that Democrats have been demonizing the National Guardsmen. The message also contained a veiled threat towards Dilanian, implying that he needed help for his views.
Critics have been quick to defend Dilanian, with some describing his comments as "disgusting." Others have suggested that the White House's reaction was overblown and that the administration is trying to deflect attention from its own controversies.
The incident has raised questions about the role of media in covering sensitive topics like national security and law enforcement. While Dilanian's comments were certainly provocative, they also highlighted the complexities of this issue and the need for nuanced discussion.
As one critic put it, "MS NOW is about to have to rebrand again. This is truly disgusting." Another observer noted that Dilanian's comments showed a deep understanding of the issues at play and a commitment to holding those in power accountable.
In any case, the White House's attack on Dilanian serves as a reminder that the administration is willing to use its rhetorical arsenal to silence critics and maintain control over the narrative. The question now is whether this move will have the desired effect or simply fuel further outrage among those who disagree with the administration's stance.

I think the White House is really trying to bully MS NOW correspondent Ken Dilanian into not saying what they want to hear, but at the same time, his comments did sound pretty extreme... 
They kinda went from criticizing the National Guard deployment to basically questioning the uniforms of law enforcement officials which can be seen as a big leap. The White House should focus on addressing the real issues instead of attacking people who just want to have an open discussion about them 
. He's just saying what needs to be said about a super sensitive topic, and they're calling it "beyond sick" 
. The fact that the president deployed the National Guard in DC without following protocol is a legitimate concern, and people should be talking about it 
. It's not like Dilanian is inciting violence or anything, just holding officials accountable 
. I'm all for a good debate, but when you start threatening someone on social media, that's not journalism, that's intimidation 
.
, his comments were provocative but also kinda spot on. we need more of these kinds of discussions that actually hold our leaders accountable 
. The fact that they're trying to silence him with a "beyond sick" comment is just a classic move by the administration to avoid accountability 
. Newsflash: if you can't handle the heat, stay out of the spotlight 
. MS NOW needs to stand strong and continue pushing for real journalism 
they're basically trying to silence him for speaking truth to power and holding them accountable 
the white house's response is just a classic case of gaslighting - they're trying to make us think dilanian was being unfair or extreme when really he was just doing his job and asking tough questions 
it shows that we still have a free press in the us (mostly) and that we can hold those in power accountable even if they try to silence us 
It's like they're trying to shut down any dissenting views before they even get a chance to breathe 
. As for me, I think Dilanian was right on point about the National Guard deployment being a bit of a gray area 
. The White House's reaction just comes off as desperate 
I gotta say, the White House is getting a little too extra with their response to Ken Dilanian's comments 
. It's time for some actual journalism, not just PR spin from the administration 
. And btw, what's up with this "help" vibe? Are they trying to silence him or what? 
? That doesn't seem right to me. I mean, shouldn't we be having more nuanced conversations about these kinds of issues? It feels like the White House is trying to shut down the conversation instead of actually addressing the questions that need to be asked... 
Dilanian's comments may have been provocative but they were also spot on 
MS NOW needs to stand by Dilanian and keep pushing for truth and transparency
