Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ willingness to battle the hostile liberal media — including refusing to talk to outlets that the Republican governor believes are dishonest or unfair — is having a spillover effect.

Breitbart News on Thursday highlighted a story in the Dispatch news website that noted Republican politicians going into the 2024 elections “could attempt to freeze out mainstream journalists.”

Mainstream journalists or HOSTILE journalists?

I have no problem with journalists doing their job. If they did Biden and the democrats would be toast. Freezing this dishonest scum out can’t hurt.

“Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ willingness to battle the hostile liberal media — including refusing to talk to outlets that the Republican governor believes are dishonest or unfair — is having a spillover effect.”

While I still intend to vote for Trump in the Primary, one of the things that annoyed many of us about Trump was his willingness to be interviewed by people who simply DESPISE HIM. It seemed like he thought he could ‘win them over’, but he got burned every time.

It’s good to see DeSantis on top of this and maybe, hopefully, Trump will figure this out.

Trump’s weakness was that he secretly want3d the antichrist media approval. DeSantis could care less.

But one Republican political consultant noted, “I increasingly hear from my clients that they have no desire to speak to the New York Times, the Washington Post or CNN. Their argument is: Our voters don’t care what they write, so why should we care what they write?”

We don't owe the liberal hateful press the time of day. Good for our guys!

Absolutely, and costly.
