Big Win For New Media As White House Shakes Things Up… Fake News Hit Hardest
Poor Jim Acosta must be crying into his little tin cup by now
Eight years ago, DJT was fighting an uphill battle against the combined forces of print media, TV, Hollywood and Big Tech to hijack the daily news cycle at Trump’s expense.
Today, those same media entities have largely discredited themselves to the point of near irrelevance. We know this by the fact that from the time George Floyd’s death went viral, to the rise of Covid, to the BLM riots, to the Hunter laptop, to the Russian bounties, to the J6 ‘insurrection’ to Mar-A-Lago raid to the mugshot, to the very last minutes before the November election, everything they tried to throw at Trump failed to rub him out forever.
The old media would have succeeded. But they threw everything they had at Trump and still came up short. That tells us something about the limits of their power.
How fitting, then, at the moment when Acosta (who played a direct role in the getting the ‘very fine people’ hoax circulated, despite knowing full well that Trump had denounced racism as evil, is announcing an end to his TV career… new media is being given press passes to access the very same room where Jim would do his infamous showboating.
With the new media welcomed into the room, we’re happy to say that the very first new media new question came from a podcast we very much enjoy — the Ruthless Podcast.

The tweet itself from which that was posted is here, and the caption read:” 🚨Historic🚨 // The Ruthless Variety Progrum becomes the first podcast to ask a question from the “new media” seat in the White House press briefing room.”
Yes, they spell it Progrum, because that’s they way they say it.
What was the first question? It was beautiful.
It asked whether the corporate/legacy media was ‘out of touch’ for objecting to Trump enforcing border security and deportation orders.
The answer was as pitch-perfect for the occasion as the lead-off question.
The times, they are a-changing.
