This isn’t “CNN being CNN.”
Fox ABC CBS & NBC joined CNN today in ghosting the White House after it yanked CNN from the TV pool because Trump didn’t like the coverage.
The other networks were supposed to step in and hand him a replacement camera.
They said no.
Fox’s own D.C. bureau chief, who runs the pool: no replacement pool.
Joint statement: no administration gets to restrict a newsroom because it objects to the reporting.
He wanted a loyalty camera.
He got a dark booth.
He didn’t ban fake news.
He banned the press.
And Fox wouldn’t even cover for him.

BREAKING: LOL! Trump gets publicly humiliated at his big White House helipad event after the major outlets refused to give him a press pool — resulting in a lack of audio for his ranting remarks.
This one really backfired bigly on him...
"Yeah there— Okay, so there is no microphone because... There's no microphone because the pool cameras aren't there," said a Newsmax host reporting on the incident. "So maybe, Tim, this is one example of it backfiring just a little bit."
The video showed Trump cutting a ribbon to celebrate his hideous new White House helipad, but viewers couldn't hear what he was saying because of the press pool's absence. Since the reporters didn't show up, there were no high-quality professional microphones present.
On Friday, Trump barred CNN, Politico, and MS NOW from the White House on the grounds that they're supposedly "fake news," which just means that they accurately report on his disastrous administration.
In retaliation, CBS News, ABC News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC News banded together to announce that they would be suspending press pool coverage of Trump.
"The public has a vital interest in receiving accurate, independent information about its government. No administration should reject a news organization because it objects to its reporting," they said in a joint statement.
The press pool is a dedicated, rotating group of journalists, complete with cameras and audio equipment, that travels with the President to provide outlets with a steady stream of updates on his latest remarks and actions. They also provide video footage when he delivers a speech or attends a noteworthy event. It's clearly something that the attention-obsessed Trump took for granted. He failed to game this attack on the free press out and now he's paying the price.
And you just know that this is exactly the kind of thing that gets under his skin. He's fixated on all of these "renovations" and building projects, and he was presumably looking forward to this helipad unveiling. What should have been a moment of gloating and self-congratulation turned into a display of muted helplessness.
Please ❤️ and share to thank the news outlets for taking a stand!
Always proud to hear #Whitlam state his case with such authority & clarity. A mere child in this era, i’ve aquainted myself via media,his recorded brilliance.
#Auspol had every reason to be deeply proud of our then leader. Those who cut #Whitlam down, did Aust a grave disservice.
Trump’s formula for “Making America Great Again”:
Bomb countries that refuse to bow.
Steal their oil and resources under the banner of “freedom.”
Topple any government that doesn’t serve U.S. interests.
Then scream “dictatorship!” at the ones too strong to overthrow.
Decades of invasions, coups, sanctions, and proxy wars,all while lecturing the world about democracy and human rights.
The only thing that never changes: America remains the self-appointed judge, jury, and executioner… until someone finally refuses to play along.
The craziest thing about trump TV is that he appears in the Epstein files 38,000 times and refuses to release the other 3 million files.
I'm not distracted.
Are YOU?
If Latika Burke spoke to Hanson the way she spoke to the PM, Hanson would blow like Mt St Helen’s in Washington state in the early 80’s.
Hanson just like her hero Trump is the ultimate narcissist and bully.
Dishes it out 24/7/365.
When it comes back at her?
Like Trump she spits the dummy, cries like a baby and then bans anyone who challenges her.
She couldn’t lead a horse to water, than alone our great nation.
Apparently Trump's Eva Braun, Natalie Harp, is now running the country. She feeds the 80-year-old dementia-addled psychopath clips of MS NOW and CNN hosts ripping him apart, then watches him lurch into whatever insane, fascistic fantasy her heart desires. Her latest win: Trump banned MS NOW, CNN, and Politico from the White House.
The Black Hills region is sacred to the Great Sioux Nation and was secured to them via the 1868 Fort Laramie Treaty. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1980 that the federal government illegally took the land, leading tribal leaders—such as the Oglala Sioux—to assert that the U.S. government lacks rightful ownership or permission to alter the sacred site further.

NOW LOOK AT THE EVIDENCE:
The number of journalists killed in major conflicts:
World War II — 67.
Korean War — 17.
Vietnam War — 63.
Bosnia - 45.
Afghanistan — 65.
Gaza - 280.
Remember last year what Trump said about Biden's cancer... "Biden was always a mean sob. Not working out too well for him right now. So, when you start feeling sorry for him, remember he’s a bad guy.”
He's just a vile piece of shit. Trump isn't fit to lick Biden's shoe.
ICE shot a DoorDash driver in the back of the neck, denied him basic medical care, and now they want to deport him before he can testify about what happened.
The government shouldn’t be allowed to shoot you from an unmarked vehicle and then cover it up.
Wilber Garcés Perez must be released immediately to a doctor, and ICE needs to get the hell out of Austin.
In this clip from a One Nation rally in Brisbane last month, their speaker can be heard welcoming the "racists, homophobes, bigots and One Nation supporters". Senator Malcolm Roberts can be seen in the bottom right laughing in glee at being called all these things.
