For the first time in a century, the White House — not the independent White House Correspondents' Association — will determine which news outlets are part of the press pool, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced.

Shortly the only ones that will be allowed in what he calls the press poll is his buddies Hannity and Carlson. The only plan Trump and Musk have is to destroy it democracy!!😡🤬
All part of the plan 👇👇👇

Time to get informed, organized, and active asap before it’s too late. Know the agenda so you can counter it, spread the word and get ready for more.
Fox News is riding the Donald Trump wave as its coverage of the presidential transition and the first few weeks of his second term powered the network to its highest-rated January ever
We need a shadow press pool that doesn't just act as a megaphone for trump's BS. It would be great if we also had a shadow Congress that gave daily press briefings to let us know what's really going on
Don’t show! Go do some investigative reporting, and make them react to it. How these people are getting screwed. Raising families! Go get their stories. No access journalism. it’s out there go get it!!!
Trump is now controlling the press. It’s incredible that the US establishment is allowing that man/child to dictate who should be questioning him. This is the beginning of this maniac gaining control of everything and soon the US constitution will be re-written as it has already been overridden.
How about if NO ONE were to show up in the press pool? Like, if not one person from the press showed up and he had not one person reporting on him at all? Similar to the 24-hour Economic Blackout. (If you starve cancer, it dies. If you starve an attention-wh🤫re, his regime falls.)
Strange times when governments decide who gets to hold them accountable. Independent journalism, meet the memory hole. Transparency just got a flashy new gatekeeper.

Well this will help make a clear line between who the real journalists are. If you're in that boys club its gonna be hard to take your reporting seriously. The press should always be at war with the government. Its what defends against corruption.
So it turns out the whole “Gulf of America” thing was just pretext for justifying shutting out “disloyal” press outlets. Report it like that Axios:
“Trump Uses ‘Gulf of America’ Loyalty Test to Violate First Amendment of the US Constitution”

"Freedom of the Press" is now a quaint memory of a bygone time.
Weak ass ego driven dictatorship shit.
they are finished
i wanna see Joe Rogan at the next press conf
Now there's an entire network devoted to it.
That's just a fraction of the $3B Murdoch has paid out for scandals in the past 8 years.
Fixed that for you!
The AP ban is very, very chilling. It suggests that the president can make up anything and then force other Americans to buy into it!
Isolating legacy media and elevating conservative media is talked about in Project 2025.
