Good day all. Last week, the Trump Administration basically threw CNN, BS Now and Politico out of the White House. The reason was pretty straightforward. They keep producing Fake News. This has set off the rest of the spoiled brats from the Lame Stream Media and they are throwing a collectivist temper tantrum.
There are a couple of things going on. First. The three fake news organizations are, surprising now one, filing suit claiming their 1st Amendment rights are being violated. Here are those details from Newsmax:
CNN, MS Now and Politico on Monday sued President Donald Trump’s administration after they were barred from covering the White House over the weekend, saying the selective ban was “a blatant violation” of the First Amendment.
Well, good luck with that. The Administration is not telling these organizations what they can and can’t print/report. They are telling them that they aren’t welcome in the White House. Now I fully expect these clowns to shop around for a COB judge who will not even bother listening to what is really happening.
The administration’s announcement of the bans Friday and the White House’s subsequent actions over the weekend represented a clear escalation of Trump’s long-running efforts — in the courts and through administrative action — to restrict news coverage he finds objectionable or, in his words, “fake news.”
The Newsmax story was written by Associated (With Terrorists) Press, not one of their in house people. You will see that in how they editorialize all through the story.
The Constitution, the banned news outlets said in their lawsuit, “does not allow a president or any other government official to deprive the press of their First Amendment rights and liberty and property interests with no notice or process based solely on his dislike of the content of their reporting.”
Yeah, good luck with that. No one is preventing them from publishing. No one is arresting them or shutting down their studios. What they don’t have is the right to be in a location. What this lawsuit is showing is that these morons, who were very happy to help censor conservative voices, have no idea what the 1st Amendment actually says or how it applies.
Now the Lame Stream Media has decided to take their ball and go home. The Lame Stream Media has announced that THEY won’t cover any events with President Trump. Here are those details from Fox News:
White House television pool members FOX News Media, ABC News, CBS News, CNN and NBC News announced Monday they have agreed to suspend their pooled coverage of President Donald Trump after he banned CNN, MS NOW and Politico, accusing the three outlets of publishing “fake news.”
“The public has a vital interest in receiving accurate, independent information about its government. No administration should restrict a news organization because it objects to its reporting,” the pool members, FOX News Media, ABC News, CBS News, CNN and NBC News, said in a joint statement.
I hate to be the one to tell these idiots, but the Trump Administration fully agrees with the first sentence in this statement. Everyone agrees that the public both needs and deserves accurate, independent information. The problem is that these organizations just don’t provide it, and I’m including Fox News in it these days.
Trump took to Truth Social again on Monday, insisting that he was not going after the “free press.”
“The White House is not instituting an assault on the Free Press, something which I cherish. It is instituting an assault on the FAKE NEWS, something that has grown like Cancer in our beloved United States of America. It is corrupt, purposeful, pervasive, fully coordinated, and totally out of control. It is a threat to our National Security, and must be stopped, NOW! Thank you for your attention to this matter,” Trump posted.
One of the things that the Trump Administration has been doing since they returned to office is bringing more and more of the so called “Alt-Media” into the White House press room. They tend to be a lot more accurate, actually from both sides of the political sphere, than the Lame Stream Legacy Media. (Hmm, a new acronym is being born, LSLM?) I think that the Administration should simply tell the LSLM that they are being replaced by news services that actually report news as accurately as they can, then do just that.
Just watch the whiny crybabies from the LSLM start screaming about that. What I and many others out in Flyover Country find amusing his just how self important these Libtard nitwits are. They truly believe that they are the one and only people who can tell the world what is happening. Well, surprise! You aren’t. Have fun sitting in the corner, holding your breath until you turn blue. No one cares.
Thatisall
