he can make or break networks just by boycotting them. Soon, all the news organisations will be kissing his fascist ass. Its all about the money.

Eventually Fox News and Brietbart will be the only thing he Relies on, all the other networks, unless they kiss the ring, will be out of business with the President. You and I have always gotten our news from other sources, looks like we will have to get our news that way,... someone should publish legitimate news sources to get real news. Stuff like the BBC, CBC, and NHK (JAPAN).

It became apparent that Fox wasn't going to get called upon at press conferences, or at least not very frequently.

The other networks - including CNN - made it clear that if Fox was going to be shunned, they'd have no part in the press conferences.

Fox owes CNN one.

and say to this jerk, I will defer my question back to the CNN reporter and I would like for you to answer there question first.
Instead of being a megalomaniac and ask some question that was exactly what again--------------you have just failed your job requirement---------------you did not hold him accountable, and this clapping from his twits, was just that twits clapping for a serial narcissistic pathological liar---------------amazing
