Pete Tsipis and Reed McMaster at MMFA:

A Media Matters review of White House press briefings held so far in President Donald Trump’s second administration found that White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt called on right-wing media outlets 41% of the time, and 4 of the 5 reporters called on most were from right-wing outlets. The press briefings now include a “new media” seat which the White House has used to amplify more right-wing voices. While the White House attacks traditional press freedoms, the press briefings are now littered with biased questions from the administration's most staunch supporters. 

Data: Trump's White House elevated conservative media, while snubbing legacy outlets like The New York Times, AP, and public media

Media Matters found that during the 16 press briefings held from January 20 to April 22, the White House called on right-wing outlets 41% of the time (110 out of 267). Leavitt gave the remaining opportunities to ask questions to non-ideological (52%, or 139 times) and foreign (7%, or 18 times) outlets. Reporters at right-wing outlets also made up 4 out of 5 of the reporters called on most. While CBS News' Jennifer Jacobs was called on the most, with 10 occasions, all the other reporters in the top 5 were from conservative outlets. The Daily Caller's Reagan Reese was called on 9 times, while Fox News’ Peter Doocy, The Daily Wire’s Mary Margaret Olohan, and the New York Post’s Diana Glebova were each given 8 chances to ask questions.

The conservative media outlets White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt called on most were Fox News (15), the New York Post (12), The Daily Caller (10), The Daily Wire (8), and Newsmax (7). Among nonideological media, Leavitt called on CBS News (19), CNN (14) , ABC News (13) , NBC News (11), and Bloomberg (9) most.

The White House elevated smaller, far-right media over many established outlets, calling on One America News (5 times) and The Gateway Pundit (5) more than The Washington Post (4) and The Associated Press (3). As the Trump administration works to cut federal funding from public broadcasters PBS and NPR, Leavitt has boxed them out, having called on a journalist from each network only 1 time.

The Trump administration has elevated right-wing voices while cutting traditional press freedoms

The administration has moved to limit the press access of outlets Trump disagrees with while amplifying right-wing outlets. It barred entry to The Associated Press when the news wire refused to call the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America,” relenting only after a court order — and only partially. It established a “new media” seat in the press briefing room, whose occupant gets to ask the first question at briefings; it has been populated by both new media ventures and established right-wing media, including Breitbart and The Daily Wire. The White House has also wrested control of the press pool — the reporters assigned to follow Trump and share information with other outlets — away from the White House Correspondents' Association and used that control to cut out newswires, another blow to the AP. This eliminates direct access for hundreds of outlets, including local news, that rely on newswires. And now the Trump administration is threatening to change the seating chart in the briefing room, which currently gives the front two rows to major broadcast networks and papers, including CBS, NBC, ABC, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal.

Press briefings under the 2nd Trump Administration, led by Karoline Leavitt, favored right-wing outlets and commentators in being picked to ask questions.

THE STEPFORD WIVES (1975)

A classic and interesting horror story starring Katharine Ross and other wonderful actors. My grandmother, mother, and father all agree that this movie was terrifying when they first saw it.

That being said, something about the story just isn’t told in that compelling of a manner, it had trouble keeping my attention. I still enjoyed it though and think it is worth the watch.

Trigger Warning Domestic Abuse

We meet a family leaving the big city to move to a smaller town of Stepford (Joanna, Walter, and their kids). Walter joins the town's men's association but he acts very strange about it, telling Joanna he loves her very much after his first night of joining. Joanna makes a new friend, Bobbie, who read about her in the newspaper, they become fast friends! Walter brings over the men’s association to his home to meet Joanna and she doesn’t get a good first impression of them. She is surprised that Walter likes them at all but he is adamant about the group and fitting into this town. They go to a party and one of the wives starts to act strangely, afterward she comes to Joanna’s house to apologize for some reason. Apparently the boys made her apologize which is pretty wack and Joanna and Bobbie think so too. They decide to try and make their own girls club but none of the other women in town want to join. They are all too busy with their wifely duties! It isn’t until they find a friendship with a woman named Charmaine that they are able to start their club and with Joanna’s intelligence working the men she is able to get the women some time off their chores so they can join the group! The main three (3) want to talk about real things while the rest of the girls just want to talk about chores… 

There used to be a women's group with over fifty (50) members but it disbanded, when Joanna and Bobbie went to get more details on it the old president just says she is happy with her life now, doing chores and keeping house. While out looking for Joanna’s dog, Fred, they notice Charmaine is bulldozing her tennis courts. But that is strange because Charmaine loves tennis. Turns out her husband hated it so she let him bulldoze it and she was all creepy calm about it. Joanna and Bobbie look on while Charmaine talks about this wonderful weekend she had with her husband that just did her right and made her want to please him. The whole thing is wack. Bobbie begins to think there is something in the water and she starts to gather some semi-credible evidence. They decide they need a scientist to test the water and Joanna happens to know one who she dated about twelve (12) years ago. They show up out of the blue and he just says he will help them. Neat! There is nothing in the water, though! Bobbie and Joanna (respectfully) want to move out of Stepford anyway. Joanna talks to Walter that night about leaving and he agrees, just says it will take some time, but Joanna is so happy she doesn’t care how long it will take.

Later, Joanna slips that the dog is dead, meaning they never did find him. Joanna visits Bobbie to tell her the good news but Bobbie’s house is perfectly clean and Bobbie isn’t acting like herself. Nearly injuring herself running home to tell Walter, Joanna wants to move the date of the move up. Walter thinks that Joanna is crazy and wants her to see a psychiatrist. At her psychiatrist Joanna tells the truth like it is and her psychiatrist suggests that she takes the kids and runs away. That night when Joanna is attempting to do just that she finds that Walter has sent the kids to a friend’s house. When Joanna tries to assert herself Walter grabs her and fights with her. She runs away to Bobbie’s house hoping that she can talk any sense into her this time. While yelling at Bobbie, Joanna cuts herself with a knife claiming that she bleeds and asks if Bobbie does too. This question results in Bobbie getting stabbed in the gut (ouch). But Bobbie does not bleed! In fact she pulls the knife out of her and then malfunctions in her kitchen like a robot… Yikes. Joanna returns home and bludgeons Walter with a fire poker and demands to know where the kids are. He tells her they are at the association. She goes there (with her iron fire poker) and tries to find her crying kids, turns out it is just a recording. The head of the association is there. He talks to her, gets her poker, chases her to a room that has Fred in it! But, wait, who is that in the back with the black eyes and perfect tits? It is Joanna’s robot replacement! And she kills Joanna! The next scene we see is all the ladies shopping at the store like perfect little robots, Joanna walking blank eyed because it is no longer Joanna. Sad!
