Might not be well received among legacy media outlets.

The times are changing, definitely need to kick out the zombie media companies.

Absolutely. Maybe NPR, NBC News, NYT and Politico reporters can set up card tables outside or work from their cars.

Good. The Times have washed him up for a decade and he finally turned on them too. Maybe now they'll get back to not sanetizing his insanity.

Statement from the New York Times. Give them credit for their willingness to poke fun at themselves.

"This move to expel The Times and other independent, fact-based news outlets from the Pentagon’s press spaces is a concerning development. The Department of Defense has the largest discretionary budget in the government, millions of Americans in uniform under its direction and control of a vast arsenal funded by taxpayers. The Times is committed to covering the Pentagon fully and fairly. Steps designed to impede access are clearly not in the public interest."

Breitbart:

Breitbart.com is a far-right news site which operates out of the U.S., London, and Jerusalem, and Conservapedia's main source of information nowadays. Well, we say news; it's more like the unwanted love child of Fox News and /pol/ who serves as an American Pravda for Donald Trump and others like him. "Screaming hateful absurdities" might be more appropriate. It was founded by Andrew Breitbart, whose death launched a bunch of idiot conspiracy theories among people who lost the ability to debate coherently a long time ago. Breitbart is basically a Nazi version of BuzzFeed.

It is inadvisable to use Breitbart as a source. Wikipedia editors have agreed to not allow Breitbart to be used as citations for facts,[2]In September 2018, Wikipedia banned the use of Breitbart as a source, as much of its news coverage was found to be unreliable, misleading and false.[3] similar to how Daily Mail was blacklisted, though it does help when discussing how horrifying Stephen "Lenin" Bannon is.[4][note 1] It's called Breitbart because the name Bannon would be too telling: Steve is basically David Duke with a little more smarts, a Goldman guy with Seinfeld money who bought the outlet to push his agenda. There is no doubt that he will be successful — in destroying the Republican Party.


New York Post:

The New York Post (or the New York comPost) is an American daily tabloid newspaper that has operated continuously since its founding by Alexander Hamilton in 1801.[1] It is the oldest continuously-published daily in the US,[2] and the 13th oldest newspaper in the country. Throughout its history, the Post has switched political leanings several times; for much of the 20th century, it was a liberal, actively pro-labor paper. Then, in 1976, Rupert Murdoch bought the paper and turned it into New York City's voice of wingnut yellow journalism. (Similarly, his British paper The Sun was originally a left-wing paper which evolved out of the trade union-affiliated Daily Herald.) It is a favorite for anti-libertarian big government conservatives of the North who support gun control for black people.

Today, the paper is known for its racy front pages, which include screaming headlines[3] and juxtapositions that would be considered inappropriate in other papers.[note 1]


OANN:

One America News Network, also abbreviated as OANN or OAN News,[note 1] is a far-right, pro-Trump, ultraconservative propaganda media outlet founded by Robert Herring Sr., the founder and owner of American Wealth Entertainment.https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5a/Wikipedia%27s_W.svg/12px-Wikipedia%27s_W.svg.png

The idea behind OANN came directly from AT&T executives who wanted a second right-wing network to compete with Fox News.[3] Ninety percent of OANN's revenue stream comes from AT&T-owned television platforms, especially DirecTV.[3] OANN's lawyer, Patrick Nellies, stated in court, "If Herring Networks, for instance, was to lose or not be renewed on DirecTV, the company would go out of business tomorrow."[3]

OANN is like Fox News but more unhinged: on-air personalities have flirted with the conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, and the network even used QAnon emojis in one of their promotions.[4][5] Conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec, best known for pushing Pizzagate, was a reporter at OANN from 2018 to 2021.[6] In July 2019, one of OANN's reporters, Kristian Rouz, was reported to be simultaneously working for the Russian state propaganda outlet Sputnik.[7] They proudly proclaim that they know the difference between an apple and a banana.[8]

OANN was launched on July 4, 2013 and "provides an independent source of credible national and international news around the clock." They are a redundantly self-proclaimed "dependable and reliable source of credible news reporting."[9] OANN says that it delivers "just the facts, empowering you to form your own beliefs" and has been praised for their reporting on current events.[10] However, they fail with political news, promoting extreme conservative causes and engaging in constant liberal and left-wing smearing and bashing to draw a more far-right conservative audience.
