No Live Interviews for Trump [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 29 October 2023 | John Semmens

Insiders report that Fox News has decided it will no longer do live interviews with former President Donald Trump "because we lose control of the narrative. Trump would be able to have direct access to our viewing audience. We would have no opportunity to edit his remarks like we would with a taped interview. Any remarks of his that we deem are irrelevant could be skipped over. Brevity would be enhanced."

Jason Miller, senior adviser to Trump's current presidential campaign, criticized this decision, saying "live dialog is honest dialog. Edited dialog can produce misleading information. Questions and responses can be mismatched. This could result in confusion or, worse, intentional distortion. This is pretty shabby treatment considering that it was President Trump's frequent appearances on Fox that helped this network to gain enough viewers to dominate its cable news competitors."

Special Prosecutor Jack Smith called Fox's aversion to live coverage of Trump "a wise move. Giving themselves the opportunity to control what is aired will help keep them from violating the 'gag order' that has been placed on him. While Trump will always be the primary target of our efforts to suppress banned commentary, others must be careful to avoid aiding and abetting him if they don't want to share his punishment."

Which reminds me, is the media still O.K. with the fact that almost 3 year in Biden has yet to have an actual press conference?

Trump needs to control his narrative. Be specific and short. Keep from going off on vindictive tangents, speak plain and low key. IF you make it back (which you won’t), then drop the hammer

Fox should just be honest and replace their “fair and balanced” nonsense with:
“We support the New World Order. It’s best for all of us.”

At least they’d be honest.

Don’t they realize the reason people hate them so much is that they try to “control the narrative” instead of just report the news?
