      As it should be. It sounds like even Fox News figured out that if they don’t stand with CNN, MS Now, and Politico. Eventually, there would be nobody left to stand for them.

      Meanwhile, I also love it because I’m sure Trump is having a conniption.

      I was REALLY hoping this would happen, and am completely shocked that it did. Esp Fox and CBS.

      Normally I’d say it’s a bad thing to not have any press there.
      But with Trump, attention is one of the few things he actually gives a shit about.
      Such a weird timeline.

      >Writing on Truth Social on Friday, the president said: “Media outlets shouldn’t be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES when they’re covering the President of the United States, the Trump Administration, or the United States of America. Other Fake News Media Outlets to follow.”

      If these media outlets are lying then Trump could always sue them for Eleventy Billion dollars like he’s doing with the BBC. How’s that going again?

      > he was banning the network – along with MS NOW and Politico – shortly after he was reportedly shown clips by his aide Natalie Harp of MS NOW anchors criticising his administration on air.

      Fuckers so dumb he just goes with whatever someone tells him to do.

      I am of two minds on this.

      On one hand, the major US networks have not pushed back on Trump’s increasing attacks on the concepts of free speech and freedom of the press at all. The major US networks giving some pushback against Trump banning reporters and networks he doesn’t like is a teeny, tiny step in the right direction.

      On the other hand, there are plenty of idiot sycophants out there willing to throw away their integrity for the opportunity to gain access to the White House in exchange for only asking questions that are approved by Trump.

      Sadly, I fully expect that the major US networks are going to eventually cave and bend the knee to Trump and his regime.

      If they stop covering him then someone needs to tear down Truth Social. Not hearing from him for even a few days would do the world good.

      Anyone claiming that a huge corporate entity like CNN is a far left organization is either deranged or deceitful.

      “HSN
      Kaitlin Collins, CNN’s chief White House correspondent, said on the network on Monday that it meant “when the president does anything today, there will be no TV camera with the president that is broadcasting and sharing this footage”.”

      Hallelujah and sayonara.

      They need to do more than boycott. En mass they need to ramp up investigations and coverage of Epstein victims and Epstein files and make it the absolute focus of the news. That’ll bring Trump back around.

      Considering these networks pushed back exactly *…checks notes…* 0 times on some of the most egregious violations of all the fairy tail nonsense I was told was real about our government growing up, I really couldn’t give less of a shit about network solidarity if you paid me to.

      These fuckers enthusiastically helped Trump gain the power and attention that put him in the position he’s in now, and the position the entire world is in now.

      You couldn’t build a single human spine if you broke down the components of every one of these networks.

    29. HyperBeamMissed on

      My fear is that 1. Trump replaces them with his own media or 2. He likes this lack of coverage and rolls with it

    30. FunBat3746 on

      Good. Let him sit in an empty room speaking to him self until we break the news to him he’s been impeached and under investigation.

    31. HoodieGalore on

      I want this to be good news but it feels like a) it’s exactly the cover he needs to start the real shit, and b) it shoulda happened at least a decade ago

      Why do I feel like somehow we’re still the punchline?

    34. SilverMembership6625 on

      he’s doing some event right now and while you can see him you can’t hear him because there are no microphones there lol
