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

[unblock]

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....

1. I hope this pisses Jake Tapper off.

[HipChick]

3. He's pissed..called it

"Un-American"...

[AngryAmish]

14. I could not be arsed to care what Jake Tapper cares about anything.

It is just a TV show.

[RKP5637]

2. IMO it's waking MSM up to the monsters they're dealing with. n/t

[bettyellen]

4. And time delay everything and present it w immediate fact checking while statements are made....

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.

5. i've seen annotated articles like that. they're awesome.

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.

[bettyellen]

6. Pop up videos! Just remembered what they were called. Even letting the lies linger a few minutes is

Too damaging and leads to misinformation.

7. oh, right, from mtv and/or vh1!

[bettyellen]

13. If they can't show this crap live it could be the best thing ever...

[yuiyoshida]

8. Putin would be proud of donnie boy!

Wavin those Russian flags, Republicans!!

[mountain grammy]

9. This is very disturbing.

it's real fascism.

[marybourg]

12. Between this and trying to pass laws to suppress protesting,

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

[bdamomma]

18. We are in a very precarious

and dangerous situation, this man/child is a threat to himself and others. They just don't care at all.

we need to see his tax returns. that will explain everything.

[TBA]

10. I also might consider focusing my reporting on the opposition.

[unblock]

11. indeed. "congressional sources say donnie's plan is horrible; white house unavailable for comment."

[33taw]

15. Maybe we need to boycott the companies that were not banned?

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.

16. Clearly up the game.

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.

[Amaryllis]

17. That is exactly what they are doing. See this thread : US Press Corps letter to Trump:

We're very good at getting info w/o access & we'll work together!
