WATCH: Salem Radio Network refuses to join the networks' White House pool boycott and torches it on the way out.
@LarryOConnor reads the statement from Salem's VP of News and Talk Programming, Tom Tradup:
"...our network will refuse to join this incredibly juvenile stunt, which is actually more like a RICO violation by mobsters than actions of legitimate American media."
"That's right, baby. That's the media company I work for."
Jennifer Griffin just broadcast estimates of America’s dwindling Patriot and THAAD interceptor stockpiles while the United States is confronting Iran.
Think about that.
Whether those numbers came from open-source estimates or not, broadcasting detailed estimates of America’s remaining defensive capabilities during an active conflict raises a serious question:
WHY hand our adversaries a clearer picture of how long our defenses may be able to hold out?
Iran doesn’t need help calculating America’s vulnerabilities.
Journalism should inform the American public without unnecessarily providing a roadmap to those trying to harm American troops.
Fox News should have to answer for why this level of detail needed to be broadcast in the middle of a conflict.
🚨 FLASHBACK THAT MEDIA WANTS YOU TO FORGET 🚨
Old Joe Biden’s White House SLASHED credentials for more than 440 journalists in May 2023. Hard passes crashed from 1,417 down to 975. Conservative reporters targeted. WHCA barely blinked. No lawsuits. No “democracy dies in darkness” headlines. Just silence. 🤡
NOW Trump bars CNN, Politico, and MS NOW from the White House after years of fake news… and suddenly the same DC hacks are crying “ban on the free press!” 😭
They only defend press freedom when it protects their own club.
The hypocrisy is deafening. 🔥
