Fighting back against biased mainstream media
As if mainstream media has to deal with their claims being challenged on social media, they’re dealing with another “headache”. Donald Trump did not hold back on his observations of the media over the past few years. Trump’s lawsuits against ABC and CBS was just the beginning. Now with Trump back in the White House, the FCC can tack action with the former’s backing.
From Breitbart:
To remedy the bias, Trump and his allies launched at least seven offensives:
- FCC probing PBS, NPR to uncover if they “violated government rules by recognizing financial sponsors on the air.
- FCC investigating Comcast/NBCUniversal’s diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) practices.
- FCC probing CBS as to whether or not it violated rules when it edited former Vice President Kamala Harris’s 60 Minutes interview.
- Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) demanding NPR and PBS testify at a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) subcommittee hearing on “systemically biased content.”
- Defense Department cutting NPR, NBC News, Politico, and CNN from their workspaces at the Pentagon.
- Executive branch canceling subscriptions to establishment media outlets, such as Politico.
- White House banning the Associated Press from events at the Oval Office and Air Force One over the outlet’s refusal to drop speech codes.
The swift actions caused many media elites who covered Trump in a negative light for almost ten years to squirm and accuse the president of attacking the First Amendment.
“The decision by the White House to block an AP reporter from an open press conference with President Trump and Prime Minister Modi is a deeply troubling escalation of the administration’s continued efforts to punish The Associated Press for its editorial decisions,” the AP whined last week.

“Deeply troubling escalation”? More like “problem solved”.
AP is a Propaganda mill that is the envy of McClatchy.
As well as IMO an entity that Goebbels would “cream his jeans” over.
1. The PBS/ NPR thing is a naked attempt to get rid of the overly liberal NPR and the mostly liberal PBS. I’m lukewarm on board. The government probably should have a network channel to provide information. That is about as far as it should go, but we are way past that now.
2. Don’t care, does anyone even watch NBC anymore?
3. I don’t see any rules broken. They whole interview is available on line now if you can stand cackles for that long check it out and make your own call.
4. Not sure how biased the Antiques Roadshow and Teletubbies are. Their news programming is almost centrist.
5. Long, long overdue. There should have been a rotation plan in place for that.
6. Never should have happened and glad it’s gone. Have fun making payroll.
7. The SCOTUS has found college speech codes to be unconstitutional. This should follow and be even more obviously unconstitutional.
Freedom of Press doesn’t mean you get what you want, AP. The AP would be 1 organization I would not miss, and it should be dismantled.
Free speech can’t be just speech from the left or liberal point of view. When you explain what I’m seeing it’s called “A View point”. When I determine what I’m seeing on my own. It’s Free speech”. The left likes to interpret what I’m seeing and hearing…propaganda. I say just point the camera, turn on the mic and shut up and let me see what’s going on.
The Lame Stream Media is biased? Shocked I tell you…SHOCKED! Damn, who knew?
Maybe they (the media of ALL stripes) should have adhered to the SGT Joe Friday School of “Just the facts, Ma’am” and did the whole “we report, you decide” thing.
I look at a lot of different news feeds on my laptop, everyday, but then again, I pretty much got nothing to do and all day, plus half the night, to get that nothing done. Look at a lot of blog sites, too, many of them with newsy type linkys and opinion pieces. Can’t tell when was the last time I actually sat down and watched a broadcast news on TeeVee, other than the locals. And even my local AO news is very biased as woke as all hell. I do like to watch The Antiques Road Show and some of the Brit Coms on PBS.
Chinese Citizen Slaves, like their soviet counterparts quit watching the “news” because they knew and understood that it was all pure propaganda. And here we are. Pravda…grins!
The mainstream media is straight up bunk.
The president isn’t hampering the 1st Amendment. Those news organizations can report whatever they want to whatever audience will buy the lies. Limiting news organizations access to the White House or the president doesn’t change anything. They can just go on and make up shit and report it as “factual” “news” as they have for years. F@ck ’em.
The irony of defending the AP speech codes on First Amendment grounds isn’t lost on me. It’s like requiring a soldier in every home on Third Amendment grounds.
Please, whatever you do, DO NOT cut Kay’s Kitchen from AFN!
