Re: Trump bans CNN, MS Now and Politico from White House

Almost a badge of honour at this point some might say...

What are the chances his next stunt is taking the Canadian tuxedo (denim jacket and jeans) and renaming it the American tuxedo?

Re: Trump bans CNN, MS Now and Politico from White House

LT Col Daniel Davis is no leftie. In fact he is a Republican who was even going to work in the Trump admin  ( as an assistant to Tulsi Gabbard) but was taken out by the neo cons for his foreign policy views. A gulf war veteran turned whistleblower. A person who has been deeply concerned about the wars the US has engaged in,

He's hoping mad about this:

Re: Trump bans CNN, MS Now and Politico from White House

I think the US press should boycott reporting on “him” and really make up some fake news, seriously, give him what he wants. All of them, Fox included, need a united front here as freedom of the press is under attack. Of course this is just a distraction from the real problems, tired, old Toolbox tactic.

I'm suspecting that this video is AI. For me the audio is slightly out of sync and I just went to his YouTube channel and could not find it. I saw posting more current and looked back before this need story, nothing I could see there. From where did you get it?

Re: Trump bans CNN, MS Now and Politico from White House

What Trump is doing, in effect, is what a group of con artists / thieves does when they break into an art gallery to heist the crown jewels. They lob a smoke bomb, distracts everyone, clears the way to break the glass and run off with the loot. Renaming water bodies, threatening to annex Greenland, 51st State rhetoric, even the tariffs - he's deliberately playing the fool. But he's no fool. He's nowhere near interested in the presidency. Except, arguably, the trappings - which do amuse him. But he's there to loot. And the distractions are working on much of the media and much of the public.

Re: Trump bans CNN, MS Now and Politico from White House

These outlets are more left-leening, but why outright ban them?
CNN, how left-leaning it is, has the most resoursis and gernalists.
Trump is not a real conservitive.
The CPC would never ban ctv, and depending on the leader, it would never ban cbc, because we would only have rebel news left.
I think, if trump watched the news forum, he would hate it and say its to left-wing for his little head, but he would love rebel news.
Meanwhile, the news forum is for us normal conservitives.

He hates somalia, but he's running his country like that dump.
If you hate somalia so much, why be like them?

He neads out.
The whole USA, both the leftie demicrats and the republicins nead reform and a hard reset.
The country's ran by loons and there media's so loony you have the leftie loons and the new far-right news networks such as one america because they think fox news is to left-leaning and not real conservitive.
I can go on and on about the loons accross the border, but this a broadcasting forum, not stephen leDrew and the news forum.

Re: Trump bans CNN, MS Now and Politico from White House

This is clearly unconstitutional and should not withstand a court challenge, which I hope comes soon. Still, you never know.

The greatest irony of this story may be that the head of the White House Correspondents Assn., which represents all press at the home of the President, is headed by a Fox News journalist, and she has been vociferous in her objections to these moves. But her network has not. 

My guess is that the courts will rule in favour of the banned networks, since it's clearly illegal for any official to ban a reputable news organization from a press conference because someone doesn't like their reporting. It's not only in the U.S. Constitution, it's the very First Amendment. This cannot be allowed to stand.

Re: Trump bans CNN, MS Now and Politico from White House

Trump and those around him must know that the courts will rule against them in banning certain news organizations they don't like from the White House.  However it is disturbing that they think it is ok to try anyway.  Something is terribly wrong when the current president and a lot of his government feel that the press or anyone who disagrees and not on side with them, must be punished.  Pretty sad how these fools seem to get away with everything they want.  Where are the checks and balances??

Well, as it turns out CNN, MS Now and Politico HAVE sued in regards to the new rules.

Also, today EVERY major TV news organization stepped away from the White House press pool. Yes, even Fox. So no network gets any of the footage shown of the President. And right in the middle of the UN General Assembly meeting this week, too.

Re: Trump bans CNN, MS Now and Politico from White House

Fox did this as well during Trump-1. I believe the reasoning was they didn't want a legal precedent set as they could be a victim of a similar ban from an administration of a different political stripe.

Re: Trump bans CNN, MS Now and Politico from White House

This ridiculous promo helped launch "Trump TV" on YouTube.

But after watching the 60 sec. video, I have only one question: did they pay for all the clips from other hit TV shows (including Seinfeld, Family Guy and Friends) that are used in the thing? There are ton of them that go by at breakneck speed, and I can't help but wonder if they paid for the rights to use them.

My guess is that the answer is no, but I'd be very curious to know.

Re: Trump bans CNN, MS Now and Politico from White House

This article from Deadline seems to hint that they didn't pay for the rights to anything. I smell another lawsuit if they have the guts to actually sue The White House.

‘Trump TV’ Promo Uses Clips From ‘The Simpsons,’ ‘Seinfeld,’ ‘Friends,’ ‘The Dark Knight’ & Many More

He's probably now fuming about the silent treatment. Unintended consequences ?

A truly horrendous promo, and not because of the subject matter. The graphics are terrible and the concept is lame, and yes, they should be sued for the show clips used, but won’t be. You’d think Team Trump could come up with something that actually worked, after all, he is the president…..

Re: Trump bans CNN, MS Now and Politico from White House

Here's the irony of all ironies about this situation. The head of the White House Correspondents' Association is a reporter named Jacqui Heinrich. What's the big deal about that? She happens to be the Chief White House correpondent for Fox News, the last place you'd expect to hear any criticism of the current White House occupant. 

But even she was forced to issue a strongly worded statement condemning the action. 

They say politics makes strange bedfellows. If so, there's your proof.

Re: Trump bans CNN, MS Now and Politico from White House

I notice CNN didn't cover Trump's speech to the UN today. MS Now did as did FOX and it was also on the CBC and CTV news channels.
