The Legacy Media Gets A Cold Dose Of The New Reality

Incoming Trump PressSec Has Some Bad News for Mainstream Media Journalists Hoping to Get Access​

By Rusty Weiss | 11:41 AM on January 01, 2025

Incoming Trump White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt strongly suggested press credentials to the president's Briefing Room could be handed out to podcasters and social media influencers, effectively bodying out some legacy media journalists as the new administration seeks to drag media access out of the 1980s and into the New Year. Leavitt gave an indication of how they plan to reshape the media landscape in an interview Monday with FOX News host Kellyanne Conway.

"If this election proved anything, it proved that the American people are no longer listening to the mainstream bias, anti-Trump legacy media," Leavitt explained.

"In fact, the ratings of many networks, not this one, but some others, are in the tank, and Americans are consuming their news from podcasters, social influencers, and yes, TikTok, as President Trump so exceptionally used on the campaign trail."

"So we will look to effectively communicate his (Trump's) message through all mediums so that all Americans are hearing the facts from the White House directly, not through the lens of the ever-biased anti-Trump legacy media,"

As the article points out, there are only so many seats in the WH pressroom.

I'd love to see them revamp the room back into a swimming pool.

Then do a podcast briefing to America instead of the Press Poolish.

Is this the same media bias that sane-i-tizes trump's incoherent rants and felony convictions?

You guys always regret getting what you wish for.

The new Press Secretary is going to be another Kayleigh McEnany, a monster at the podium. I can't wait to see how she butchers some of these assholes.

Yes...of course...the role of press secretary is obviously to butcher the press. Just how the founders envisioned.

I'll tell the Transportation Secretary to cover his ass in your presence.

No fear there. I'm positive he's "engaged" counsel already so he believes he has no need for my "services."

What services can a fake lawyer offer a government official?

"Services." The quotes are important so that people understand the "nuance."

Not that you do "nuance" since you're about as sophisticated as a fat cow in a retail gift shoppe at a glass factory.

The Founders didn’t have Press Secretary’s…

Ya think?

Lol

 

[Politruk]

Giving "podcasters and social media influencers" preference over, or even equality with, professional journalists does not make this administration look good.

Why didn't she even last a year?

Press Secretary's what?

Straight out of "1984", and the cult sheep bleat in approval. Once upon a time it was the right that used "1984" as a warning. They have done a 180 degree turn in 40 years.

How do you know he's a fake lawyer? You don't.

He does not have the brains to earn a law degree.

Because he loses legal arguments to pervs on a porn board.

He just admitted he’s a fake lawyer, in his reply above.

I don't see how taking the time to identify you is an admission he didn't take or pass the bar exam.

How in Hell could you possibly judge? You're the one who put his scant political and intellectual capital behind kamala and the blithering Chinese agent she chose for a running mate.

Let us know when you actually see anything resembling Big Brother or a Ministry of Truth. That was Biden's game and why you are now leaving the field of political battle with tattered skivvies.
