      Wouldn’t it be better to show up and ask them questions about the bans, put pressure on the administration, hold them accountable like journalists are supposed to and, you know, do the job the public wants you to do?

      Every single word coming out of his administration is a lie so genuinely what’s the point? It might be better that they’re not broadcasting his absolute nonsense to the world.

      >The public has a vital interest in receiving accurate, independent information about its government. No administration should restrict a news organization because it objects to its reporting,” **Fox News Media,** ABC News, CBS News, CNN and NBC News said in a joint statement provided to TheWrap. 

      Wow even faux news grew a spine against its cult leader. That’s rare.

      I can see Laura Loomer and other right-wing vloggers to do the coverage.

      This isn’t what Trump wants.

      He wants to be in the headlines every minute of the day.

      He’s going to come unglued when the mid-terms go badly for Republicans and the press won’t stop talking about it.

      When even fox news says you are wrong you know you are wrong. Well Trump doesn’t know it, but maybe other Republicans will learn it.

      Good. Take away his TV coverage is like depriving him of oxygen. United, the press corps could bring Trump to his knees by simply ignoring him.

      At first I was surprised about Fox but this would be a bad precedent to set and daddy Murdoch knows that. I look forward to not seeing video of that man for however long this takes maybe tomorrow

      This was the best outcome , deprive Donnie of camera time and really get to pull his strings .

      You know something’s wrong when Fox News, for all their faults, joins in with the other networks in calling out Trump.

    15. williamgman on

      Sounds like Fox smells some lost ad revenue. My belief is Trump relies on his Truth posts to be his voice. And all the outlets promote those. Now if they wanted to make a stand..? Don’t promote is online persona. But they won’t. And every other public event is still open. Now Newsmax..? Where you at?

      It’s interesting. I think there’s political theatre. Then there’s this. Even the most clinically insane people have lines they don’t cross. Perhaps this is a line no one saw coming, where even vehemently opposing sides can come together to oppose the ban.

      Seems that way. I’m a firm believer that the loudest in the room are often the minority opinion. I think this is a line he attempted to cross and many are against it. Internally and externally

      Every news org knows this could happen to them next. They need to stop all White House reporting, and coordinate so every single question asked is about the ban.

    21. frosted1030 on

      In 20 years maybe someone will look into the case. For now the DOJ is not willing to do anything that would jeopardize Trump picks in the midterms.

    22. AsinineAntimony312 on

      A lot of dynamics to this, but it’s probably a net positive. Concern would be having Newsmax/OAN run the narrative. But just because all the other networks aren’t in the room doesn’t mean they can’t report on what’s happening. In fact, they may feel more at liberty to actually report the news now that they don’t feel like they have to tiptoe to keep their coverage. Hope they don’t cave.

    24. EconomyDoctor3287 on

      There’s no need to report on the orange crayon anyways. Garbage in, garbage out. 

      Please report on others

      Follow around that little weasel Mike Johnson. I feel like nobody know anything about him and he controls Congress. Cameras following him 24/7.

    29. billypaul on

      Starve him of what he most craves. Because I’m guessing that Trinity Broadcast Network and right-wing podcasts won’t fill that attention gap.

    30. bludvein on

      They basically have to. If the White House can ban news they don’t like what happens when the next president is a democrat and kicks all conservative news out? It’s a bad precedent and really toeing the line on freedom of the press.

    32. AcanthisittaNo6653 on

      Piggy should sit down and let them do their jobs. The media should take a day off from covering trump and give him a timeout from the news cycle. Maybe he’ll have more respect for reporters then.

    34. j3ffrolol on

      My issue is, is this really just setting us up to allow the president to go on unmonitored by the press? That’s a crucial function of accountability that I feel like we’re shrugging off.

    35. Pirwzy on

      If they really wanted to fight back they could do endless stories about Trump being in the Epstein Files.

      Call your congressperson, AG and representative and tell them to oppose the Paramount/WB merger, and explicitly tell them why.

      Tell them that This consolidation is bad for consumers. It raises prices, eliminates thousands of jobs, especially working and middle class jobs, lowers competition, takes away consumer choices, and give control of the national media to foreign powers.

      Tell them to short Paramount’s stock too before they reject it for an added incentive

      Here a list of the congresspeople, lawmakers, and reps of each state around to help

      His handlers will just hire fake reporters with fake cameras and Truman Show us right into their Türd Reich
