if i were a media outlet and i got shut out of a white house presser,

i would redirect my resources to developing inside contacts.

more leaks, more actual investigative journalism, less spoon-fed propaganda.


it's a horrible thing donnie's doing, but it could make the media better....

Instead of having some people. It's the analysis afterward.

They could do it like those cartoon bubbles they used to add trivia to music videos with, if cutting away is too much trouble.

even having the rebuttal right there when reading an article is great, even better if they can do it in a video format as you suggest.

calling out judges by name, and voter suppression, I'd say yes, fascism has arrived in the United States.

I know that several of us already avoid Fox, Brietbart,.. but maybe we need to boycott ABC, CBS, and NBC programming - not just news until they support those banned. They will lose advertising revenue if the boycott is planned for a specific time period. Just a thought.

Why? Because it gets under his slimy scaled excuse for skin. Pointedly increase the number of anonymous reporters. He deserves it for trying to use it as a diversionary cheat in his putt putt game. He's attempting diversion, by making the press self referential. That's not the goal of the press.

I deeply want to see him cry, something besides crocodile tears.
