I too believe this will backfire on the corporate media.

And FOX themselves is overlooking, or not seeming to care, when the Obama administration banned them. Did any of the other outlets protest in solidarity with FOX when that happened? frick no. The narrative was different.


Hi Ed, this is incorrect.

The bureau chiefs from ABC, CBS, CNN, and NBC held an immediate conference call and jointly decided they would refuse to conduct their own interviews unless Fox News was allowed to participate. Faced with a total network boycott, the administration relented and granted Fox access.

Edit - ops. I see Big Scrub addressed this on the previous page.

The big media outlets no longer offer any socially redeeming value.

>No press conference going on or scheduled.
>Shows empty press briefing room.

This is classic fake AF news.

maybe so. Trumps visit to NY and talk to UN, campaign rallies, etc. will not have any audio or tv coverage. he was supposed to be on tv today unveiling the new white house helipad. TV pool all skipped it so no video or audio. and if it keeps up no coverage of Xi visit. seems like this has backfired on him.

Just because Biden was a frick up, does that make it OK for Trump to be one? Low fricking bar to navigate. Is this what it has come to? Somehow, barely beating Biden in suck? Pathetic.

FOX was in the hen house! There are factions of FOX that show sincere allegiance to Trump and the conservatives in this country, however, the ownership is questionable in that regard.
NEWSMAX is the best source of real news these days. Sure, they still have opinions that some of the hosts share regularly, but you see and hear things that no other networks are willing to carry.

The man campaigned telling us that the media was the #1 enemy of this nation. 75 million people voted for a man who held that view and made it clear he held that view.

What you'll find is that we are wondering why it took him this long to do this. And honestly, if you don't like it, tough shite.

You are talking to your own hand now since only a couple of fringe networks are actually supporting this charade today. Good opportunity for Trump though. He can create his own network and sell shares to rubes like you.
