Legacy media (or arm of the DNC as they often act) is dead. A self-inflicted mortal would that, one could say, began when Obama became president. They slobbered over the first black president and couldn’t hide their glee for him.
As President Trump began his first term, full-blown Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) inflicted every liberal and progressive media outlet. And we all know about their pushing every hoax under the sun to prevent him from getting re-elected.
Under the Biden administration, legacy media did all they could to protect the senile man. Despite crumbling ratings, they tried to back the old horse for as long as they could. And they lost all credibility.
Fast-forward to November 2024 and after four disasterous years of Biden, Americans had enough. We elected a new sheriff to run this country.
President Trump and his administration are playing hardball this term and setting new rules and guidelines to control the agenda they promised Americans.
Yesterday press secretary Karoline Leavitt held her first briefing and it was spectacular in many ways. She announced major changes to the press room and how this administration will be more welcoming to alternative press outlets.
As reported by Fox News, Leavitt announced the Trump administration was rolling out major changes to make room for newer, less traditional media voices in the briefing room.
Leavitt told reporters these changes were being made to keep in line with President Donald Trump’s “revolutionary media approach” that he deployed during his campaign in speaking to popular podcast hosts and social media influencers. From the report:
“In keeping with this revolutionary media approach that President Trump deployed during the campaign, the Trump White House will speak to all media outlets and personalities, not just the legacy media who are seated in this room,” she began before citing Gallup polls showing Americans’ low confidence in the mainstream media.
“Millions of Americans, especially young people, have turned from traditional television outlets and newspapers to consume their news from podcasts, blogs, social media and other independent outlets,” Leavitt continued. “It’s essential to our team that we share President Trump‘s message everywhere and adapt this White House to the new media landscape in 2025.”
Leavitt announced steps the Trump administration was taking to accomplish this, beginning with restoring the press passes for 440 journalists whose passes she said “were wrongly revoked” by the Biden administration.
The briefing room will also now be opened up to “new media voices who produce news-related content” and outlets who haven’t been welcomed into the briefing room previously, she said.”
After Karoline’s first briefing today, you can see she is going to handle the press in a boss way. Watch a clip:
Karoline also told the press corp that they need to hold themselves to the same standard of truth they hold the White House. And she did this whole briefing without a “binder” or a “circle back.”
Don’t hold your breath that the legacy media will accept this “truth” challenge. They can’t help themselves due to their TDS. Adieu, legacy media. You deserve this cancellation.
‘There is a societal norm that if somebody is your family that they are entitled to your time and I think the answer is absolutely not,’ Calhoun said.
‘So if you are going into a situation where you have family members, where you have close friends, who you know have voted in ways that are against you, against your livelihood, it’s completely fine to not be around those people and to tell them why. ‘To say, “I have a problem with the way that you voted because it went against my very livelihood and I’m not going to be around for this holiday. I have to take space for me.’
Reid had asked the psychiatrist for advise on how to interact with Trump supporters.
‘If you are an LGBTQ person and you know someone in your family voted essentially against your rights, or you’re a woman knowing, you know, that this man was calling people the b word,’ Reid said.
‘JD Vance was literally calling Kamala Harris “the trash.” He said, “We’re going to take out the trash.”
‘I know a lot of black women were incredibly triggered by that.’
Calhoun previously made headlines last year when she said doctors should be forced to wear body cameras to catch the racist ones.”
