so america will now get it's new filtered thru rupert murdoch.
President Trump's White House isn't ready to talk on television about its military strike against Syria -- unless they're talking to Fox News.
In an awkward moment Friday, White House press secretary Sean Spicer abruptly asked that his daily on-camera press briefing be "off camera," causing the pool camera to turn away from Spicer as he spoke.
Viewers of networks carrying the briefing watched as the pool camera panned right and focused on a big container of cheese puffs that was sitting on a table.
In announcing the decision, Spicer said, "I want to make sure that the president has an opportunity to [address the issue in] his words and his audio."
"It's off. Off. Everything is off," he said.
Just before the briefing, however, Spicer gave an interview to Fox News in which he discussed the Syria strike. He also recorded another interview with Fox News White House correspondent John Roberts.

Look at the CJR article on how Fox controls what the mainstream press talks about.
The more Trump does this, the more people will realize how corrupt and America-harming the right wing media, including the Murdoch media, is.
