News Organizations Band Together in White House Boycott

Originally published at: News Organizations Band Together in White House Boycott

The news outlets that make up the TV pool that covers the White House and the president’s schedule joined together on Monday to announce that they would not be “designated as pool coverage of the president” until further notice after President Trump banned CNN from the White House. “This is to advise that, effective today,…

I sure hope that the main stream media stick it to him and stay away longer than just one day. - Especially FOX.

“The Washington Post also announced it would not publish any photos of any presidential events on Monday until midnight ET.”

That’s the dam breaking. If the NYT follows, it’s over. He has to capitulate. His ego feeds on a daily camera spotlight, and it dies without it.

41% approval on the economy? That’s the sort of number that could make a person despair of their fellow human beings.

I trust Fox as far as I can throw a football. That said they can usuually be depended on to act in their self interest. The last thing they want is for this ban to turn into a legal precedent by the Calvinbal 6 when the new Democratic President is elected in 2028.

Damn the evangelicals! If that makes me sound like a bigot, so be it. But these Bible-thumping MAGAts are about as far from being sincere, decent, and believing Christians as so many devotees of Beelzebub. Indeed, they are truly worshippers of Mammon, and their idol Donald Trump is the most plausible version of the Antichrist to appear in Christendom for several generations.

the TV pool will not be covering events designated as pool coverage of the President

There’s no point to the press pool but to extend reach and frequency for the administration. Once again, Donald Trump cuts off his nose to spite his face.

Anybody left in the White House “press corps” isn’t press.

Immigrants aren’t evangelical. To the degree they’re religious, they’re probably Catholic.

Billy Bob’s Church of the Almighty Snake Handlers doesn’t have operations in foreign countries. Immigrants are more useful as punching bags for ignorant bullies.

…to pay the full operations cost of a 24/7/365 ready live stream of this treasonous gas bag of bullshit.

They don’t give a hot goddamn about your liberties and justice. This is purely about operations and the bottom line.
