President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to do more than just restore the policies of his first tenure—he is aiming to redefine the American political landscape.
This from thepatriotjournal.com.
If the first four years were about breaking down barriers, the next four could be about smashing the mold entirely.
Trump’s focus:
Protecting the interests of hardworking Americans
and upsetting the bureaucratic status quo.
But Trump will not stop at the usual suspects of reform. He has hinted at taking on the media establishment with big, disruptive plans.
Trump believes legacy outlets like The New York Times and The Washington Post have become the unofficial public relations arm of the [communist/globalist crime syndicate] Democratic Party.
And he is planning to do something, according to his son, that might outrage those old outlets big time!
From Fox News:
Donald Trump could reshuffle the White House briefing room to give podcasters like Joe Rogan more prominence than legacy media outlets, his son told Daily Wire host Michael Knowles on Monday…
“We had the conversation about opening up the press room to a lot of these independent journalists… If the New York Times has lied, they’ve been adverse to everything, they’re functioning as the marketing arm of the Democrat Party, why not open it up to people who have larger viewerships, stronger followings?”
On his Rumble show Triggered, Trump’s son revealed the family’s latest plan to shake up Washington. Speaking with Daily Wire host Michael Knowles, he confirmed:
Trump is seriously considering
reshuffling the White House press corps.
The idea:
Give priority to podcasters and independent journalists over legacy outlets that Trump believes have betrayed the public trust.
During the discussion, Knowles joked about removing seats from traditional media outlets, having said:
If they’re dishonest, why let them stay? The American people aren’t even paying attention to them anymore.
Trump agreed, sharing that he had recently discussed the idea with his father and Elon Musk during a SpaceX event. According to Trump Jr.:
[T]he President-elect floated the idea of replacing mainstream media mainstays with figures like Joe Rogan and other independent voices.
Imagine it: Instead of reporters asking politically charged, partisan questions, you’d have Rogan, the guy who interviews MMA fighters and neuroscientists, grilling government officials.
This is the type of shake-up that has communists/globalists “clutching their pearls and legacy journalists scrambling for relevance.”
Trump’s critique of traditional media is not new. He has long accused outlets like The New York Times and The Washington Post of pushing an anti-Trump narrative.
The President-elect now argues:
[T]hese organizations have lost their influence and no longer
deserve their prime seats in the White House press room.
Michael Knowles echoed this sentiment during the conversation, having pointed out:
[P]odcasters and independent content creators are eating the lunch of legacy outlets.
He noted that these new voices:
[N]ot only have larger audiences but are also more in tune with what every day Americans care about.
He quipped:
Is the White House Briefing Room a charity now for journalists who otherwise would be out of work?
And a familiar dig from the left:
Sorry, guys, learn to code.
Trump Jr. agreed, having suggested:
[I]t’s time for a system where honest reporting and real questions take precedence over partisan spin.
The goal, according to Trump’s camp:
[I]s to make the White House Briefing Room more reflective of the evolving media landscape.
For mass propaganda outlets, this potential shift represents an existential crisis:
– Losing access to the White House would be a major blow to their credibility and their ability to shape public discourse, and
– On the flip side, independent journalists and podcasters would see a significant boost in influence.
This plan also has broader implications for the relationship between the government and the press:
By prioritizing independent media,
Trump could foster a more diverse range of perspectives.
Trump’s idea aligns with his larger mission to upend the Washington establishment. It is bold, it is brash, and it is very Trump.
The big question is whether this reshuffle will happen and, if it does, how it will be executed. Will the White House Briefing Room become a battleground for legacy outlets and independent creators?
Or will it transform into a space where Americans finally hear the questions and answers that matter most?
