The new outlets rotating in are One America News Network — which will take NBC News’s spot — the New York Post, Breitbart News Network and HuffPost.
This is obviously 100% political. And the way of the new administration. They are excluding any opposition however moderate, everywhere they can, and then replace them with political supporters.
Welcome to the new authoritarian antidemocratic America!
I know you didn’t highlight it but HuffPost is just as bad as the others nowadays…maybe even worse because it tries to hide behind supposed “balanced” coverage
OK I didn't know they'd become that bad.
NBC needs to express more than disappointment.
Glad to see those ~~legal settlements~~ bribes are paying off. /s
Maybe if I just bend the knee harder daddy will stop beating me. Maybe just once more.
Almost like for profit "news" is antithetical to journalism.
Let me guess: they're going to "rotate" in actual propaganda like NewsMax and OAN...
This rotation appears to be OAN, New York Post, Breitart, and Huff Post. So, three conservative organizations plus Huff Post.
Huff Post is an organization that has no credibility on the right and no experience covering the Pentagon. They're removing the outlets that might actually be able to make a difference while still giving themselves the cover of "Well, we added Huff Post!"
I'm waiting to see them start banning NBC, ABC, etc from Whitehouse press events.
huffpost is currently owned by buzzfeed. buzzfeed, afaik, has not kissed the diaper (yet). buzzfeed shuttered their news division, which was actually 'ok' (and different than the click-chasing junk on buzzfeed itself), after they acquired huffpost. huffpost is their news site now. the wildcard here is that comcast is a major shareholder (around one-third, iirc) of buzzfeed.
huffpost's inclusion could go either way:
they (comcast) flex their muscles and 'encourage' buzzfeed to keep their left-leaning site quiet and 'under control'
they take offense at nbc getting kicked out and use nbc and nbcnews (which are not included in the planned spin-off of cable properties that includes cnbc and msnbc) to help huffpost report the real news and get it on the air.
That is what it said in the summary, yes
Oh, I didn't read the summary. So obvious what they're doing, yet still infuriating...
And HuffPost.
Can't wait for Saturday Morning Propaganda! /s
Replaced with Pravda and the Wochenschau.
Not a great move, but maybe a spark might go off in some of these orgs and they will stop worrying about putting facts behind "access" to these assholes.
They're gonna fold and fo whatever they have to to please the fascists.
My take is that we have entered the apex of the MAGA phase.
Now that the incompetents have achieved power, they will start to destroy themselves through stupidity.
Don't get me wrong, a lot of damage will be visited upon the heads of the innocent. But it is going to take this destruction to demonstrate just what a terrible idea it was to install these dickheads in the first place.
After all, the voters were warned, and also got a taste of chaos in the first series. They still voted him in.
Ok, let Trump set the electorate's hair on fire and see what happens next.
Apathy. Apathy is what happens next.
"I have bills to pay, I'm not taking time off to protest"
"I'm not the one being deported, sure, I feel bad but it's not like one voice will make a difference"
Etc...
"they're just being deported not murdered it's not that bad"
Not sure why they're highlighting NBC News, they're the one I'm most okay losing.
I think in this case it may be because this particular post was from NBC news, I imagine the other outlets will focus on themselves as well.
This is terrible no matter how you look at it, but the current group occupying those offices are not particularly looked at as non biased non politically motivated agencies either.
They are better than what's moving in, but they lost their way a while ago IMHO.
Since they cater to their shareholders instead of the unbiased truth, they won't get universal or even the majority of public support.
