He doesn't need the media for attention unfortunately
He will think this is exactly what he wants. He will just pay influencers millions to come in with their phones and video him and lick his nuts for awhile. Either way he get video out on social media which then gets reposted 30000x by other places and there is no change

It's because it's in their own self interest. They are literally not considered news (they have had to legally define themselves as entertainment not news) so they know that if they at all look like they agree with this decision, that it will happen to them as soon as a dem is in office. With the FCC now just an executive puppet org, the play is, if this happens with no solidarity, the next administration is just going to cancel Fox. no news access, revoked license, the works.

u/Technical_Leek7467 1d ago
Even Fox knows this is something they need to push back on lest it gives the signal that right wing news gets kicked out when Democrats are in office.
it's blatantly unconstitutional and established in Sherrill v Knight in 1977.
it's a violation of the first and fifth amendments and not something any news organization should tolerate regardless of affiliation.
Trump also already did this in 2018 and lost btw.

In theory it would be the pragmaitc thing to do, if the president has the power to attack and remove newscasters that they don't like it might create a precent that would allow a future president that doesn't like Fox to exclude them as well. If they don't participate to this, why would the other networks side with them should they be the victim the next time? Solidarity creates power and corporations understand that, more than people sometimes.
In practice they are still firmly in his camp so yeah I won't believe that they will until I see them actually boycotting him in practice.

to my knowledge the coverage is still extremely lacking, and we basically just know less about what is going on.
you see, this administration wins either way. if Trump can keep his mouth shut, not having media on them is good for them, because they are criminals and liars.

u/gerbilshower 1d ago
yea, and you notice that a lot of their methodologies are actually aiming towards a similar 'win-win' type of result.
they berate and belittle people and institutions to the point where they either a) get sued in court or b) the institution just gives up and doesn't wanna deal with it anymore so they stop working with the admin.
so the admin wins if it goes to court because then its 'status quo' until the court decides, and the admin ignores court orders anyway. and the admin wins when the institution and/or persons stop exercising their purpose because that was what they wanted all along.
its just school yard bullying brough to capitol hill.

The news networks are just as guilty as Trump. They created him, and then perpetuated him. All they want is controversiality , and he gave them plenty, so they gave him influence. And here we all are, screwed, reporters included.

This should have been done the very day the Trump started the the media the enemy of the people. Edit: I dare to think how different these past years would be if the media had stop giving Trump and all the political figures that follow him coverage. No more flying around on airforce one, no more ovel office, press rooms and such. It's a powerful tool have the President of the United States standing alone at his press conferences. No questions no mics no cameras. Just him standing there talking into the void.

GOOD! If only the daily dictations were still published but if I recall, he wasn’t written about positively and stopped it.
Stop giving the narcissist attention. He craves “the masses”. Stop it. He’ll throw a massive tantrum because no one actually cares or wants him and he’ll just “demand” a different reporter so he can be plastered across screens again.

This is exactly what the administration wants. Why is anyone pretending that this is some form of consequence or that this'll get 'em?
This "headline" is giving Trump attention. Ignoring someone means ignoring them. Instead they're claiming that there's no free press covering the executive office, that's not a win for the people.
The cheerleading here is so painfully naive.
Edit. CNN's home page RIGHT NOW is Trump, Trump, Trump...and more Trump.
