President #DonaldTrump is on the #WarPath again, this time railing against the #media and publishers whose stories he doesn’t like.

#Trump took to his platform #TruthSocial ( aka the #MinistryOfPropaganda ) to suggest that any negative #press is a result of #LeftWing media attacking him for the “Best Opening Month” of presidency the U.S. has ever seen.

WASHINGTON, DC - MAY 28: U.S. President Donald Trump speaks in the Oval Office before signing an executive order related to regulating social media on May 28, 2020 in Washington, DC. Trump's executive order could lead to attempts to punish companies such as Twitter and Google for attempting to point out factual inconsistencies in social media posts by politicians.

As #DonaldTrump and #France’s #EmmanuelMacron today met in at the #WhiteHouse, American journalists from the #AssociatedPress (AP) were barred from the #PressConference. But some weren’t waiting long, according to a tweet from #Semafor White House Correspondent #ShelbyTalcott. The #French press corps stepped in to ensure that a #Paris-based #AP reporter could go in and ask her first question.

Honesty in #journalism.

Both #TheDailyBeast and #TheGuardian reported about the organisers response on the #olympic #drag thing.

You'd think The Guardian would be the honest one in their reporting. Instead it's The Daily Beast who, even though they color it a bit, is doing actual journalism here.

The Guardian though: putting words in the spokespersons mouth that weren't said nor even implied, drop un-sourced claims about athletes sleep etc.

#FoxNews sent a letter to #Trump & MVP #KamalaHarris’s campaigns proposing they #debate at an event the #FauxNews network would host on Sept 17 in the battleground state of Pennsylvania. The letter also suggests its anchors #BretBaier & #MarthaMacCallum would moderate.

During the #Jan6 #insurrection [via #TheDailyBeast]:

Bret Baier first argued on air that “it doesn’t appear to be violent.”
“It’s not like it's a siege it doesn’t seem, it seems like they are protesting,” he further shrugged.
