DeSantis press secretary roasts ABC News over double standard on bill coverage
Fox News ^ | 8/18/2022 | Brian Flood

Posted on 08/18/2022 11:20:17 AM PDT by God luvs America

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ new press secretary Bryan Griffin roasted ABC News in a lengthy Twitter thread detailing how the Disney-owned company fawned over President Biden signing a bill compared to critical coverage of a bill signing by the Republican governor.

The pugnacious approach to media outlets it deems unfriendly is something DeSantis' press team is "empowered" to do.

"Governor DeSantis has empowered our team to hold media accountable for inaccurate and disproportionately critical coverage, and we will continue to do so under his leadership," Griffin told Fox News Digital when asked about the Twitter thread. He recently replaced Christina Pushaw, whose mutual antagonism with the Florida and national press frequently makes headlines, after she resigned to join DeSantis' re-election team.

In the thread titled, "A tale of two bill signings with mainstream media coverage (@ABC)," Griffin began by examining an ABC News article from Aug. 16 about Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act.

Must go to the story to view the tweets but this is what the Republican party and Conservative candidates should be doing 24/7. This guy, Khari Lake- they should be following their lead

Is he unaware that the so-called “news” media is part of the Democrat Party?

Did he hold up a rubber simulated head of Kim Godwin with fake blood dripping over it?

**************

Exactly right. Very few Republicans ever go on the attack, much less a sustained one. They are content to sit back and let the Des control the narrative.

IF I understood the 11 AM

ABC news in Reno market-—the anchor said that the $7500 tax credit on EV’s “DOES NOT APPLY TO ANY EV ON THE MARKET TODAY”.

I MAY have misunderstood her——but perhaps NOT.

It’s all a big FRAUD - the automakers just raised the prices on their battery crap by the same amount so in effect they receive the tax kickback.

Surprise

i think DeSantis is showing some serious management skills

two press secretaries one after the other and both fighters

and the first one moved to his campaign to continue the fight

I wasn't aware that Christina Pushtaw had changed jobs. Good for both her and Bryan Griffin. Taking the fight to the enemy. They don't like it.

This why Ron continues to gain support. He hires great people.

DeSantis’ press secretary noted that "major win" was part of the headline, "celebratory" was in the subhead and ABC News used the real bill name while crediting it for having different objectives. Griffin also pointed out that ABC News used images of "happy celebrations," including House Democrats giving Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., a round of applause.

Pointing out all the ways the corrupt press lies FOR democrats is a great way to let all of us in on liberal hatred and bias. ABC sucks... nice to see their tactics exposed.

Florida was blessed the day DeSantis won over the democrat candidate - a drug-addicted whore-monger liar call Gillum...

You have it backwards. The Democratic Party is the political arm of woke corporate media.
