They may pretty much all be owned by alt-right types at this point, but they are still businessmen. He's probably actually hurting their bottom lines somehow at this point.
It's just boring to give attention to anybody who is incapable of speaking truth. I'd say everything he utters should be fact checked, but it's just easier to assume everything he says is a lie.
Because the 3 guys who own all the media are mad and losing money. Don't be fooled. They are not doing this because its the right thing to do. Never forget that all major news outlets helped dump get into power because they constantly shit on his opponents. He would NEVER had been elected if the media didnt blast his rotten carcass all over TV and social media 24/7.
They should just post pictures by the official White House photographer that show his drawer open filled with an illegal amount of Sudafed and the kind of Sudafed one of his interns brought him while he was in the UK which doesn't have the active ingredient that he sniffs
Very telling that all these media outlets were fine covering him endlessly for the past decade as he threatened, undermined, degraded, every possible group and demographic and these legacy media corps only finally, bravely , grew a spine when their access (read: bottom line) becomes threatened.
Abc, Nbc, Cbs, Fux...I'll not cry for the "news" media that have stood by and enabled the same guy they're now "protesting" against. Fuck em all and let them reap what they sowed.
Well he started his own state tv trump something north korea russia style instead. This was not impulse and this was not the news channels «doing the right thing»
Simple corporativism. The media channels are competitors, but they need to protect the long term industry situation. Even if Fox could win here, they could be at the receiving end in 2 years because of the precedent.
I hate that dumb fuck takes like this have become normalized post-pizzagate. There was once a time your comment would be hidden with dozens of downvotes. Instead I'll get downvoted for calling you out.
Trump basically said that his feelings were more important than their profit, and in a flash of cognizance, they all realised that the leopard would eat their face too. It's just money vs money, but hey, anything that makes the orange sad.
even histrionically ennobled events like WWII and the Civil War were really just money vs money, contests between mutually exclusive systems of wealth accumulation.
Oh no, this has been something that he's been long building up to, even from his first term. Honestly Im surprised he took so long before finally snapping.... But Im more surprised at the sudden solidarity from the media to cut him off and I am *SO* here for it.
No, it 100% is, and always has been as I understand it. He was obsessed with his tabloid coverage in the 80s and 90s. This is all just so fucking phenomenal!
I don’t know, maybe he’s going to be able to spin his own narrative better without the press there? I’m wary and don’t really trust these guys to hold him accountable for anything
Let's get his website provider to disable TruthSocial for a week so he can't get ANYTHING out, maybe D-Dos Twitter to crush it's servers, just have him unable to be the 'face' of anything for like a month, give us all a break yea?
I remember seeing a lecture where a professor explained how in Hitler's last days he ordered an acceleration to the extermination of prisoners in the death camps. He knew he was losing and sought to cause as much chaos as possible. The whole "if I can't have it, no one can" mentality. At the end of Trump's first term, he pardoned hundreds of murderers. It's going to be worse if there's no possibility of a third term.
He wanted to lose the 2016 election and open a right wing media company like Fox. Word is he was miserable when he won and Melania cried on Election Night. You can even see in his acceptance speech, he’s fucking miserable.
I dont know. With him launching his own personal TV channel, they'll just take the Fox hosts they hired and put them behind the desk and pretend its the same. His brain is so cooked he can't tell.
It's not a channel, if you read it there's a white house app and they are just making it so that all the press releases and speeches can be streamed on it. In fact a quick Google showed this isn't even a new feature.
It's the Hallmark of what we've come to expect. A half ass fix to a problem they created and 90% of it is a branding blitz while they proclaim victory.
I saw a story about what you’re talking about. Sounds like it’s some dumpf app I think? This clown is going down hard and has no idea what the fuck he’s even doing.
I reported the channel for child porn. Everyone should do that and hope the algorithm takes over and then Google has to apologize to trump or risk his wrath and people can see what cowards tech companies are
The number of views that gets will be significantly more telling of his approval than his rallies are. Don't sleep on people being fed up and not voting for Rs in November.
Oh please let them fall for their own inflated numbers. If the bots skew the polls, making them *think* they have a commanding lead, a lot of the sycophants who actually do the scut work in rigging an election may choose to not risk it. "Why risk going to prison? Everyone knows the GOP will sweep the field without help"
In 2015 he ran for president as a stunt to launch TrumpTV because he expected the networks to ignore him. Then he would launch TrumpTV. Sadly the networks didn't ignore him and that led to the end of the country
Imagine what the world could be if media outlet had covered Bernie Sanders' speeches to massive crowds in 2015 instead of broadcasting Trump's empty podium for hours.

He'll issue it, but you won't ever know, because the media won't cover it, and he only posts to truth social.

Boycott is justified, but this hurts Americans. This is playing right into the regime's hands to make a state newspaper and soon, state tv.

It makes sense, since news is things that haven't happened before that people should know about and trump is definitely not that.

I predict this "boycott" will last until tomorrow
PastureofMuppets
Is this to help cover up his failing health? Im too skeptical to believe this is rooted in something good.
awkungen42
It's rooted in billionaires losing money on their media investments if they get banned, which is enough to make me believe it's true.
crateo
It is corporativism. The mainstream media may have their own editorial lines and biases, but this is a precedent none are happy about.
If every administration decided who to allow, no one wins.
idiotsonfire
Its an oligopoly. If one of them is shut out, all of them get upset, because that hurts their agreements in child-rape backrooms.
Tinsoldat
I think its an attempt to control the narrative around the specific 37 pages recently forced to be released from the trump epstein files
EroticZombiePants
If there's no one around to report on him, then no one knows what he's up to.

In fairness, I would file his failing health under "something good"

Good start. Now disable his social media accounts. Then remove him from the presidency via impeachment. Then leave him in the Antarctic.
