This is going to infuriate Donald, especially with Fox joining the boycott.
Donald as a little boy never got enough attention from his wary, selfish parents. As an adult, he is so thirsty for attention—and watches for himself on television CONSTANTLY—being ignored by media is kryptonite.

BREAKING: TV pool will not be providing coverage of presidential events until further notice b/c of CNN's ban, pool chair and FOX News Washington Bureau Chief Bryan Boughton said.
It's effectively a boycott by the fellow members — ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX:

Dear Moscow,
If you smell smoke, that’s us.
If you hear buzzing, that’s us too.
If you’re panicking - good.
Sincerely,
Ukrainian drone swarm
P.S. We don’t knock.

All of a sudden there is a lot of discussions about the danger of AI. Rightfully so. The discussion of course is only about wether or not AI could be able to extinguish us as a human race and not the consequences it has for employment, employment rights and wealth distribution. I'll leave them too.

To say that "Free Palestine" is antisemitic is like saying "Free Europe" is Islamophobic (Turkey is a rather non democratic country and largely muslim). There will never be peace in the midle east without a free and thriving Palestine. Any and every attempt on stopping this is support of genocide.
