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.
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.
Honestly, this close to the election? That’s actually something the admin wants I think. Trump isn’t even cognisant enough for his ego to notice.
This boycott could be cover/excuse for the networks to withdraw from reporting what they’re up to.
A normal president: *whew*, good. Some quiet finally.
This ‘predisent’:
The one thing the main stream media will decidedly call out as unconstitutional…
It’s like nobody in this country cares to have a strong opinion on any issue until it’s an issue that directly affects them.
Something to keep in mind is that the lawsuit to reverse this has already been filed, and it seems like a solid winner on first amendment viewpoint discrimination grounds. I think it’s likely an injunction will come down pretty fast to restore the credentials.
Update: the hearing on the proposed restraining order is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon.

The major television networks are standing with CNN by declining to replace its White House pool crew after the Trump administration barred the network from fulfilling its assigned duties on Monday.
“The public has a vital interest in receiving accurate, independent information about its government. No administration should restrict a news organization because it objects to its reporting,” ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox News and NBC said in a rare joint statement.
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.
BTW isn’t the timing a little bit suspicious? And they agree at the same time all together? Alleged “separate” companies with different oligarch owners? And not the hundred other times Trump fucked with a network?
So practically no more direct major network coverage on how they’re stealing the election? Just Trump’s truth social from here on out? Man isn’t that strange that this is happening now…
Fox News boycotting Trump too? Oh, no. Yeah no way. Nope. Not buying it. This stinks of back room collaboration.
They’re going to rat fuck us.
Ooh, I do love schizoposts
