IDEA IS FANCIFUL: "The idea that the coverage will become more balanced because of this, I think, is fanciful. I just don't think it's going to have that effect... In political terms, this will rally the base... but I don't think it's going to do much for him beyond... that base. And at this point... with this midterm election coming, he needs to get people who may not have been part of his base, but voted for him in 2024... and I don't think this advances that cause at all." Brit Hume Hume argues that while the decision appeals to the core base, it fails to advance broader electoral goals heading into critical midterm elections where securing non-base voters is essential. He also addresses why shutting out journalists will not achieve a more balanced media environment.show more

I feel compelled to point out that ABC and NBC declined to cover Trump's Prime Time address Live to the nation regarding the Save America Act on July 16. Then there is Maria, also about election integrity. So the media gets to pick and choose but the White House does not? Respectfully, Gentleman.

@brithume Can we get Maria Bartiromo’s perspective on this “Far Left & Balanced” issue?

@brithume It’s going to bankrupt the fake news, that’s what it will do!!! Get over yourselves. You’re not important!!!! Omg

Yes, this is why a new press pool must be formed of more diverse outlets. Until you break the oligopoly and give others an opportunity for a larger role the problem will not be resolved. If you look at it fairly even @FoxNews is, with the influence of the current Murdoch family, somewhat left of center. It is just everyone else has moved way to the left making Fox look right wing. It is time to break up the old arrangements.

@brithume you’re all going to find out that we don’t need or want your BULLSHIT reporting any longer! adios!

SIX YEARS OF LIES FROM THE MSM ABOUT TRUMP! Now the trash is taking itself out, thank God!! Ironically, the squealing sound we have heard all days is the sound of the free press who are claiming to have been silenced!! Trash taking itself out!! Thanks! If only this had happened earlier to get them to shut the propaganda down!! @cnn @nbc @cbs @MSNOWNews @pbs @HuffPost @foxnews

@brithume We don’t need you. We got this.

@brithume Media people need to come to terms with the fact that people don’t get their news from you guys anymore. You’re just not that important any longer with social media.

@brithume You and Hume are just like the rest of the mainstream media

@brithume Trying to legitimize the illegitimate. Pitiful

Not one of you three addressed the bias reporting by these new networks.None of you said anything about Biden reading a card and picking reporters that were chosen in advance ,scripted questions and pathetic for Biden and the news outlets that’s didn’t speak out .Spare us your critique of Trumps decision without mentioning the obvious bias and pis poor reporting.

@brithume CNN had Andrew McCabe on tonight as a senior LE analyst. Andrew McCabe! No disclaimer! They’re an arm of the DNC.

@brithume Good riddance to all who left. Now stay gone. You're driving people away w/this stunt. Bring in the new, hungry ones. Either stand in journalistic truth, or lie in the gutter with dishonest media. It's time to break the back of these arrogant clowns once & for all & build anew!

@brithume The major news networks have tried for years to emulate 'Saturday Night Live' without success. Now, like a bunch of two year olds, they're throwing a tantrum.

@brithume Imagine after firing Maria for telling the truth, @FoxNews threw in with CNN and MSNOW today against Trump . Freaking unbelievable. Fuck every last one of you

@brithume Biased will be biased. The public is now keenly aware of the Corporate Legacy Media Cartel bias.

@brithume How do you media people not get it 🤔

@brithume “Snow is Black”

@brithume They need to stop reporting fake news then

@brithume Remember when Fox was told to call Arizona early in 2020?

@brithume @brithume you are moronic if you believe that your coverage would sway any Democrat to switch their vote. Now shutting all of you down may just cure some people of their rabid TDS. The MSM have shown repeatedly that their version of the truth is murky at best

@brithume So, you’re suggesting letting these three propagandists outlets continue the fake news ruse? Question, how do you square other administrations denying Brietbart?

@brithume He needs to rally his base because Dems are rallying their DSA base. RINOs and the so-called "moderate Dems" are the ones likely to sit the election out. Trump has always understood the voter dynamics better than Rove and company ever have.

I respectfully disagree with you both. I think you’ve been in the Washington bubble too long. Most Americans are completely tired of the negativity and being lectured and talked down to by MSN, including FOX. Times are changing. People are more informed than ever before, and recognize political speech when they hear it.

@brithume It raises the press issue into the spotlight, making how he’s treated poorly on every topic the center of attention, and that’s a winner for Trump.

@brithume

@brithume Trying to get into the head of REALITY when nothing has been revealed yet about how this will impact?! 😂😂😂😂 You folks truly live in your own bubble thinking the universe is all about you. You're all about to get REALITY in your face from the rise of alternative media.

@brithume All establishment media believe they have a right at the White House. 😂

@brithume Brit, they banned Trump a long time ago and have systematically tried to poison peoples mind against him for over 10 years now. It’s time for some major media changes. You’re like an abused spouse staying because you’re afraid of change. Let it go

The problem here is you jokers still think you’re a mysterious species known as a “journalist” But that species died out years ago. No one cares what you think. This carcass of a profession used to report and investigate,,, now they offer their own opinion, spin, and editorial influence. And to make matters worse… you’ve made it clear you’re idiots.

@brithume

@brithume These outlets had > 90% negative coverage of Trump, there is nothing about this that can possibly make them cover him any worse, so I'm all for this. If they can't be honest than they don't deserve the "privilege" they've been granted.

@brithume The fake news has become the news. Who cares ?

@brithume Well. This may be news to @brithume . @realDonaldTrump is not running in this election cycle. Although, he is the only one working to advance truth, justice and the American way. Thank you very much for your attention to this matter.

@brithume You’re one of them Brett. I have really come to despise the @foxnews “personalities” after the Bartiromo fiasco and now siding with organizations that HATE the Fox viewers. This is why the public is disgusted with legacy media. You’re all one cabal after all
