American democracy has functionally been held hostage by a single demented criminal for over a decade.
They should all boycott the White House and just stop giving Trump air. It’s all just bullshit responses anyway.
they wont and they cant.
They are too addicted to the viewership that comes from the world tuning in all day every day to see what fresh horrors the dancing monkey is up to this time. and those insane viewership numbers leads to big ratings and big ad revenues.
its why they’ve been so obsessed with him since the beginning. Even before his first run they were broadcasting him all day every day, giving him billions in free coverage and being one of the big factors in his first election win.
and they learned nothing since. They tried to do the same with Biden, but Biden was a boring president who didnt constantly fellate controversy, He just did his job, and did it well, to the point that the news media ratings plummeted and they tried desperately to escalate everyhing he did into some manufactured controversy to get the viewership back.
and they all popped the biggest of joyboners when Trump ran again, and the viewers, and ratings, came flooding back.
Imagine if he gets assassinated and we miss it
Maybe watch some of these and call it even?

I found at least two good ones.
USA collectively turns its back on Tiny Dee—a beautiful dream come true!
Stupid motherfucker didn’t realize that away from the podium, it’s not the White House providing the audio tech:
As part of pool coverage, each network takes a daily turn supplying a camera operator, an audio technician and a producer or reporter. While the technical crew records the president, the producer or reporter coordinates the live feed by phone, taking notes and asking questions.
Thus, as anyone could have told him would happen:
Trump’s first live event on Monday with no TV press pool — a ribbon-cutting ceremony for his new helipad — was livestreamed to the White House website. However, Trump’s remarks were indiscernible throughout the video; the helicopter’s loud noise completely drowned out his voice.
For someone to whom attention is mother’s milk, this is possibly one of the biggest own goals imaginable: without a major network providing audio support, no one can hear anything he says now.
Honestly, at this point, news media should be ignoring the White House and reporting on what it’s actually doing because all the words that come out of there are lies and propaganda. That’s not news, it shouldn’t be reported by serious news organizations.
Isn’t CNN just a libertarian owned Zionist shit show now?
Yep! But when dementia sets in, the newer memories go before the old ones so Trump is thinking of the CNN of the 80s.
Wow even Fox News. It’s bizarre that the American right under Trump has gone so far from normal that Fox occupied kind of a center-right position in the media landscape now.
Is he gonna start trying to rename the networks?
A normal president: *whew*, good. Some quiet finally.
This ‘predisent’:
So if I’m understanding right, the networks rotate who gets the coverage; today is CNNs turn in the rotation and in solidarity none of the other networks will fill in.
What I’m still not clear on, after reading the article, is if the rotation will continue as normal and coverage will only be missed on days a “banned” network is up, or if the other networks are also skipping coverage when their turn in the rotation is up.
Either way, the actual goal of censoring news from the White House is achieved… and in the case of this solidarity, the effect is even greater. Or am I misunderstanding something here?
/edit: Okay I actually misunderstood something: Its not about media coverage in total but about giving Trump a platform. This makes much more sense.
They’ll still be reporting about the white house, they just won’t be propping up trump’s soapbox quite so much
