No solidarity from the other media outlets?

The White House says it will bar the Associated Press from the Oval Office and Air Force One indefinitely due to the news outlet's use of Gulf of Mexico

Unlike AP, most of those other media outlets are owned/controlled by the CEOs and billionaires who were up on stage with Trump at inauguration and the rest of them rely on FB/Google/X to draw their audiences

Oh they have solidarity, just not with other media outlets (billionaires, they answer is they have solidarity with billionaires)

Brian Stelter is currently arguing "That's what he wants us to do", as though their refusal to rally in AP's defense is a noble act of resistance.

Nope- the MSM is controlled by the almighty dollar. That's why many of us have nothing more to do with them, and our numbers are growing.

Yes, are all the other mainstream outlets going to threaten to boycott as they did when Obama floated barring Fox from the WH briefings? I won't hold my breath.

Of course not; they only get a backbone when it is FOXNews and a Dem is POTUS (2009 the good ole days)
