Oddly enough, the White House Press Corp *did* act like real news organizations today by walking out in protest over thin-skinned Trump's attempt to censor unflattering, accurate news reporting.
But they only did that because ham-fisted Trump forced their usually timid hands.

JD Vance defends Trump's ban on the free press: "They're just not going to get an office in the White House anymore, and I think it's totally appropriate -- unless of course they start to behave like real news organizations"

Honestly, does LeBron really need to pad his bank account by encouraging people to bet their kids‘ lunch money? It seems predatory, and of course a lot of other rich sports figures do it too.

It was effectively banned as it never aired again.

It is likely an end run around the lack of microphones and bonafide journalists at his "pREsS" announcements.
I’d highly recommend that nobody download this app.
At best, it’s unfiltered propaganda.

Trahan: Between the president saying things like “let data reign” or “this is a hoax,” no one is buying that. We all lived through social media and the failure that we did not put more guardrails in place when we had the opportunity to do it, whether that’s around privacy or kids’ design.

It boggles the mind that the Markets respond to every "Two Week Plan" is if they are serious announcements and not transparent attempts to control the news cycle and distract what's left of MSM from... more serious things...
Hey mainstream media outlets! How about you boycott the White House? If nobody shows up to cover the news…. He would literally go out of his mind. He can’t live without attention. Maybe we stop giving it to him because everything he says are lies anyway.
