      Yep, we all knew they’d be the first victims of the Trump dictatorship. Hope selling out the country for a few months of “Biden old” headlines was worth it, rat bastards.

        They’re all owned by oligarchs. Trumps tax cuts alone will probably net those oligarchs 10x more profit than the orgs they own.

      Imagine writing about this dude fucking over all of the people that helped him gain power at minimum once a week for 8 years, and then thinking that it’s still a good idea to do the same.

      Yet another example of leopards that aren’t gonna eat my face.

      Which is amusing because The New York Times spent months working to get Trump reelected. And almost certainly had a much greater impact on his election victory than either Breitbart or OAN. They tanked their credibility for some cheap headlines and still got the boot. lol

      No, it’s not.

      Hegseth isn’t restricting those outlets from appearing at Pentagon briefings; rather they’re not being allowed to maintain an office on-site. While elevating right-wing liars such as Breitbart and OAN is obviously terrible, the other outlets will still be attending whatever propaganda rallies Hegseth holds.

      Yea use that broad brush to paint yourself into a corner!

      No one needs to advertise the nytimes or top media… you could do better to push a hot take opinion or top media…

      The issue is important.

      It’s like the token liberal coming on as a guest on Fox News. They’re there to be a strawman to attack and mock. Anything they say can just be twisted into, “HuffingtonPost is an obviously biased liberal hack. But see? We’re being fair!”
