Former CNN anchor Jim Acosta has called for reporters and news outlets to band together against the Trump administration after it blacklisted an Associated Press reporter for refusing to call the “Gulf of Mexico” by its new Trump-appointed name.

I wish they would start educating the public on how Rump's many actions mimic Hitler's. It's astonishing and very telling. Make the connections, tell the story, people need to hear this.
All responsible reporters, Fox this isn’t you, should boycott the WH. Don’t show up, don’t give him coverage, create other avenues of reporting. Let them talk to an empty room. Look another job that needs cutting, no need for a Press Secretary.
💯 and the rest of the world echoes that. Refuse the idiocracy, reject the control, speak freely. Independent journalists are unplugged and back to their roots of truth telling.
I believe there should be consequences for Google. I will never call the Gulf of Mexico anything but! For Google to have moved so quickly makes them dirty to me....
THIS!
If all news agencies stopped following him around - all except the far right rags - Trump would have a melt down. He thrives on news reports. And no, the right wing news won't be enough for him. And it would give us sane people a break.
One great way to get under trump’s skin would be a total boycott by the media from any White House press conferences. The biggest gauge to his ego is huge audiences. If the press room at the White House was nearly empty, and reporters didn’t follow his every move, he’d literally shit his pants.
I argued the news orgs should band together in term 1, and coordinate questions, taking up colleague’s question if Trump ignores.
They just gave him a cakewalk.
On this day honoring Presidents Washington&Lincoln, let's remember: Washington rejected kingship to uphold republican values, but today, America risks being ruled by a king, & the USG risks becoming one of, by, and for billionaires. We face a historic test—can we meet the challenge of our time?
I can think of an easy way around that nonsense. Just refer to it as the body of water known as the Gulf of Mexico in the rest of the world. They can’t say that’s a lie. 🙄
Now at what point will media & journalist stop calling this dangerous psychopathic WH an administration? When it’s too late & you can’t? Start calling it what it is & stop giving it legitimacy- It’s a REGIME!

YES!! DO IT. Go to the public affected by the cuts - show stories of people told they have no job. Talk to Senators, Congressmen, Governors.. everybody else but DJT.
Jim was the only journalist with integrity on CNN. What he needs to do is reach out to all journalists who left WaPo, LA Times et al and start his own network.
Someone should ask @jimacosta.bsky.social about the @apnews.com essentially blacklisting @thetnholler.bsky.social from being in the press pool in Nashville.
I support the AP wholeheartedly on this, but wouldn’t that just leave Trump’s favorite outlets and far-right sources to put all the information out about gov’t activities?
Nobel idea Jim. But the major media outlets are all owned and controlled by the same billionaires who Donald Trups anti American policies are helping. Real journalists should abandoned their corporate overlords and take the truth to independent media
If Trump didn’t have the media to provide him a voice, things might he different. Maybe then we can cut through all the distractions and really get to the heart of what is going on .

America is fighting back.
CBS News host Margaret Brennan appeared shocked at the suggestion that Trump could end the war by “flattering” Putin.

But the self-serving shits will never do that.

If they win, Dems would take back the majority in the house.
Reporters gather, but one is blocked.
AP News found the White House locked.
Call the gulf "America" or stay outside!
The First Amendment cast aside.
They just gave him a cakewalk.
I'd rather have the truth.

Won't see Maddow or Nicolle "shocked again" Wallace quitting anytime soon
Acosta pushes back against Animal Farm & Big Brother.
ASAP.
The USA Constitution Article1 allows it.
But they won’t
