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.

While I agree on the surface, that would be giving them free reign to do whatever they want. They should still cover the press releases, but do things like mute the person at the lectern and add their own “the White House banned reporters from the news room, so we’re only releasing a summary of press briefings until that is changed” type of voiceover to it instead. Literally remove their voice and dub your own instead.

Have every reporter in every briefing only ask when the banned reporters will be allowed back. You just released a briefing on the situation in Iran? When will the banned reporters have their credentials reinstated and be allowed back inside the press room? You just released a briefing on gas prices? When will the banned reporters have their credentials reinstated and be allowed back inside the press room? You just released a briefing on Israel? When will the banned reporters have their credentials reinstated and be allowed back inside the press room? The question doesn’t change until they address it, and if the answer isn’t “we’re allowing them back in” then the exact same question gets repeated by the next reporter. It would require a massive act of solidarity on the reporters’ side, but it would be extremely effective at forcing them to address it.

Have every reporter make their reports outside the White House next to the banned reporters. If the White House wants coverage, they either move everything outside or allow everyone inside.

There are definitely more effective ways to protest than simply “don’t cover them.”

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.

Imagine if he gets assassinated and we miss it

USA collectively turns its back on Tiny Dee—a beautiful dream come true!

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.

Yay! Keep pushing!

I think Focks nooz is seeing the future with this. If the orange pedo gets ousted and non-nazis retake the White House this sets precedent that people will fully realize how unbelievably full of shit they've been this whole time as a propaganda outlet and may get the boot along with their other propaganda-kin

Yep! But when dementia sets in, the newer memories go before the old ones so Trump is thinking of the CNN of the 80s.

Update: the hearing on the proposed restraining order is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon.

None of that tin foil shit. This is about the pool, where the networks take turns on sending cameras to speeches and events in the WH so there arent a dozen crews fighting each other for angles.

Ooh, I do love schizoposts
