Fox is almost as bad as MSDNC cutting away.

I switched to OANN to watch Trump and I am surenI wasn’t the only one.

So let me guess, CNN, ABC,CBS, NBC, Washington Post are all there every day but, everyone else must take a number?

Not anymore.

Thank you Mr President.

On Wednesday, the WHCA’s board voted to bar OANN from further access, but the vote is essentially symbolic. The group has no power to keep anyone out of the White House or its grounds.

NO POWER bump.

barred from White House briefings by a journalists’ organization strategically Swampy collection of Democrat activists.

The White House correspondents association should be in charge of who gets invited to their annual awards dinner but not who is allowed to be in the White House at the press briefings. I wonder how that power got started and evolved. Now another leftist tactic is exposed.

I Remember early in President Trump’s term that the daily press briefings had people from different outlets, even some who were there by Skype from far away. I wondered why they didn’t continue with that. Perhaps the White House correspondents association did not like the competition.

I hope that our president will be changing this leftist power play.

CNN has been airing parts of the press briefings lately but not always the entire thing. It is interesting that a so-called news channel thinks that commenting on a press briefing is more newsworthy than the briefing itself.

If the #FakeNews people make an issue of it, Trump can just cancel the press conferences, and give Chanel exclusive live interviews, rebroadcast on YouTube and Twitter feeds.

Do the same with Breitbart News.

WHEN OBAMA WENT TO WAR ON FOX NEWS

https://www.newsweek.com/when-obama-went-war-fox-news-632424

BY ALEXANDER NAZARYAN ON 7/5/17 AT 11:06 PM EDT

Attacking the news media is a time-honored White House tactic,” says media critic Brian Stelter, but “to an unusual degree,” this administration has “narrowed its sights to one specific organization,” which it has deemed “part of the political opposition.”

Stelter quotes a top White House staffer: “We’re going to treat them the way we would treat an opponent,” she says. “We don’t need to pretend that this is the way that legitimate news organizations behave.”
