On Friday, September 18, President Trump made it clear that he wasn’t happy with distributors of “fake news” channels CNN, MS NOW, and online news magazine POLITICO.
Some people say the President’s announcement is a distraction, a ploy to cover for rising fuel costs and the feds raising interest rates on the American people.
For the past 10 years, Donald Trump has been calling out “Fake News CNN” and MSDNC/MSNOW for publishing “fiction and lies.”
Although not on a full-time basis, for the most part, CNN and MSNOW operate 70% as state-run propaganda media, while doing daily 30% hit pieces on the President.
On the other hand, Fox News, OANN, and Newsmax operate 80% as the President’s mouthpiece and state media, while publishing 20% assassination hit pieces on African Americans.
As the November 3rd midterms draw near, and the Iran war appears ceaseless and is creating out-of-bounds fuel prices for many Americans, the President partially blames the media.
On Tuesday, the Federal Reserve gave bankers a huge gift by slapping Americans who wish to borrow for a mortgage, car, or credit card with an additional quarter-point interest rate.
The bankers love the Fed interest rate hike.
The bankers will rake in billions more. For them, it amounts to a tsunami pay raise and multi-million-dollar year-end bonuses.
They will keep getting fatter while austerity measures are forced on everyday people.
The American people are seeking relief, not a pile-on.
Hundreds of news outlets in America aren’t granted access to the White House.
Why do gatekeepers such as CNN, MSNBC, and POLITICO, to a lesser extent, believe that they should have access to the White House when others don’t?
The other news outlets aren’t complaining about a lack of access to the White House.
They claim they are the first draft of history; it doesn’t make much sense to draft a fake history. Most of CNN and MS Now reporters are paid to spin facts and tell lies.
So what kinda fake history are they telling and selling?
On Saturday, September 19, CNN senior reporter Betsy Klein had a Secret Service agent seize her press pass at Checkpoint Charlie. Politico’s Cheyenne Haslett also had to turn in her pass to SS agents. The Secret Service denied her entry to the White House.
On the same day, “MS NOW correspondent Akayla Gardner had her badge deactivated and taken after arriving at the White House.”
On Monday. Attorneys representing MS NOW, CNN, and POLITICO filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, challenging his “banning” them from his office.
Media War: Trump Targets CNN and MS NOW Over 'Fake News' Claims
This isn’t the first time President Trump has revoked a CNN reporter’s press credentials.
On Tuesday, November 13, 2018, Trump ordered the revocation of CNN reporter Jim Acosta’s press credentials after what Trump deemed aggressive behavior toward him.
CNN sued to lift Acosta’s White House suspension, and it won the case.
In 2021, when Joe Biden won the White House, CNN moved Acosta from the White House to an inside job at CNN as weekend anchor and chief domestic correspondent, in the 10:00 a.m. time slot.
Later in February 2024, CNN promoted Acosta to the weekday morning shift. Eleven months later, under pressure, the fake news network moved Jim Acosta to a graveyard shift.
Is Trump’s push to silence CNN and MS NOW about media bias or a distraction from rising costs? A clear overview of the debate and stakes.
The move forced Acosta to resign from CNN after 17 years of service.
The American people continue to lose trust in the news that CNN broadcasts, and its ratings have stayed in freefall, not because of Jim Acosta – but in general.
Most of the station’s reporters became activist journalists, taking a personal stand against reality when reporting on the wars in Gaza and Ukraine.
The American people slowly but surely drifted toward YouTube and other social media outlets for information, though in most cases the information on YouTube is hyperbolic clickbait.
Still, the YouTube customers get a glimmer of ‘truth’ and thus a sense of ‘balance.’
The question remains: What makes CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO think they have a right to the President’s office over thousands of other news outlets?
Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter/X have a mantra that they tell news agencies operated by Black Americans.
They tell them: Free speech, but not free reach. We live with that every day.
On Tuesday, September 22, during his appearance at the United Nations, President Trump told a CNN reporter, “You should not be here covering me.”
First, Trump asked the CNN reporter, “What are you doing here?”
The reporter is in the United States of America. LMAO.
It is one thing to ban a reporter or CNN from his office; it is quite another thing to ban CNN from the United States of America.
The case on whether the President can ban the media from the White House is set for a Wednesday court hearing.
“Think globally, act locally.”
It is crucial to be forward-thinking but not a forward person. “Be kind to everyone you meet because each carries his heavy burden…” Plato.
Embrace the three Constants: change, justice, and rightness.
The thought police are busy at work trying to suppress free speech. If allowed their march to madness, they will arrest your very thoughts.
“Free speech, but not free reach.” — Social media titans.
Free speech is thy Lord.
