President Donald Trump said Friday that he was banning CNN, MSNOW and Politico from the White House due to what he called unfavorable coverage, and threatened that more such prohibitions of media outlets could follow

In any reasonable country this should result in immediate removal from office.

but in the new america, it's just friday.

[-] BooBees@fedinsfw.app 3 points 3 weeks ago

Which was just renamed to Trumpday. As have all the other days. And an eighth one he also added.

[-] Mihies@programming.dev 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yep, it shows the strength and wisdom of the greatest American president 🤡

[-] Malica@lemmy.zip 18 points 3 weeks ago

Getting banned is a fucking badge of honor

[-] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 12 points 3 weeks ago

Australia's One Nation Party, backed by Trump billionaire sycophant Gina Reinhart, has also done this, banning The Guardian and ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation akin to the UKs BBC) . The leader is an Australian Senator and she could be the nations leader at the next election.

we have a process, it isn't being used, but we have one.

[-] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 weeks ago

If it doesn't get used, is it functionally different from nonexistence?

[-] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 86 points 3 weeks ago

CNN sells their soul and capitulates to the orange moron and then he bans them anyway, this is one of several thousand reasons you should never bend the knee.

Sucks to suck, dipshits.

[-] Malica@lemmy.zip 19 points 3 weeks ago

Owned by maga donor

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 3 weeks ago

Malone pretty much dint have resistance from Zaslav to take over CNN.

[-] ironpangolin29@lemmy.ca 76 points 3 weeks ago

Unconstitutional.

Can you imagine how many amendments will be created because of this asswad.

I'm 97% sure his second term is him giving a big fuck you to the American people by destroying american way of life and cost of living and tarnishing trust and goodwill on the world stage because he didn't win two consecutive terms. Something Barack Hussein Obama did...and did easily.

That and a chance to earn him and his family and parasites billions in profit.

To what end, he's got a couple years left not only in the white house but on this earth, unless they cracked immortality hes up there in age. And what legacy? That name trump will be likened to that of Hitler and it should be ended.

Can you imagine how many amendments will be created because of this asswad.

None. There are enough scumbags in government (i.e., Republicans) who like things just the way they are and would never support changing it. Fortunately it works both ways, there is enough opposition to prevent really crazy shit being added to the Constitution.

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 3 weeks ago

I don't think there's much patching to be done with these vulnerabilities. Time to git update-ref -d HEAD and start again. I'm personally highly favorable towards the worker-power, direct-democracy, and worker-assembly libraries

[-] comrade_twisty@feddit.org 6 points 3 weeks ago

Unfortunately, these libraries were permanently deleted by some 23 year old DOGE goon.

[-] Yew@lemmy.world 50 points 3 weeks ago

Politico? I feel like they try to be extremely kind to the right wing in general, but they don't lie, and that must be the problem.

[-] tomi000@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

"First they came for the communists..."

[-] TryingToBeGood@reddthat.com 23 points 3 weeks ago

so we will not be able to believe anything that any news organization reports about the WH. On brand.

[-] SailorFuzz@lemmy.world 23 points 3 weeks ago

a blantant 1st amendment violation. Using the office to curtail freedom of the press.

It all started when Kegsbreath did his little fuckfuck games with Pentagon press reporters. And now we're here.

[-] switcheroo@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago
[-] formergijoe@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Hey man, he's just banning the lugenpresse.

[-] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 16 points 3 weeks ago

Psst, news people, stop following him around, he likes the attention and does nothing but lie to you on camera. Find other sources for your reporting and stop showing me videos of that guy talking forever.

[-] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 3 points 3 weeks ago

I have all of Google blocked and my online traffic goes halfway across the planet so I rarely watch videos. But when I read even quotes of him talking I can’t make it all the way through. The level of patience needed to make it through that withering, meandering KFC coated throaty voice of his is something I’ll never have.

[-] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 4 points 3 weeks ago

I truly feel for the translators who have to interpret his utterances. I read the English version and it's like hearing a book report from a kid who just skimmed the cover and is dropping nouns they recognized in between completely unrelated but extremely rude, false, or narcissistic statements.

[-] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 4 points 3 weeks ago

I’m multilingual myself and I really couldn’t imagine translating half of his sentences. And imagine doing it in a language where the word order is different so you’re caught waiting for the sentence to end but it just never does.

[-] Entropy_Pyre@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 weeks ago

I’ve heard (anecdote only) that this accounts for some foreign countries believing he’s more well-spoken than reality. Translators, for the sake of clarity, might clean up much of the meandering. It’s difficult to convey poor English in a translation.

[-] lemmyng@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

Something tells me the attempted Warner-Paramount merger isn't working out.

[-] chahn.chris@piefed.social 10 points 3 weeks ago

So we know these stations are telling the truth anyway…

[-] cronenthal@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 3 weeks ago

Sure, why not? At this point, does it even matter anymore? The US is finished, there's no coming back from this. Trump has shown what's possible and that nothing can stop a fully committed criminal in the White House. Others will follow in his footsteps, only far more competent and effective.

[-] BillCheddar@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

"See your diapered ass in court, you child-raping traitor."

What Jake Tapper SHOULD have said.

[-] benjirenji@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 weeks ago

Tapper feels most comfortable halfway up that ass, so no way.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

He can't afford honest journalism in the White House. They ask too many questions.

[-] Fusselwurm@feddit.org 9 points 3 weeks ago

so what?

He and his minions lie nonstop, and change their stories at the drop off a hat to boot.

so is there anything newsworthy to be had in the WH anyway?

[-] zbyte64@awful.systems 2 points 3 weeks ago

If the orange turd wants it then it probably isn't good for us

[-] Fusselwurm@feddit.org 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

In principal yes - but he's a very petty person, I think in this case it's just his personal vendetta against people who dare criticize him.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 8 points 3 weeks ago

i mean CNN has been leaning right since his first term, at first bought out by Malone and installed litch, and then litche was ousted a while ago, and appearently still trying to appeal to the right, but not entirely so.

[-] stoly@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago
[-] Lumidaub@feddit.org 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

lol Axel Springer banned from the WH is fuckimg hilarious

Edit: typo makes it more true

[-] Makhno@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

What a fucking dickless little bitch

[-] newton@feddit.online 3 points 3 weeks ago

Welcom to FUCK ME RICA

[-] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

Don’t they already try this and fail?
