I will Never forget this:
Q: Will you commit to a peaceful transfer of power after the election? TRUMP: "We're gonna have to see what happens."
Helen Thomas told me as a young reporter “You don’t get into this business to make friends.” And when I was told I was disrespectful to POTUS she said: “I don’t think asking a tough question is disrespectful.” I truly miss her.
Another UFC moron who tried to ban reporting on the UFC. Now he wants to ban reporting on the WH. A rogue thug, moron and anti-constitutionalist. F him and the horse he rode in on.
Congressional reporters on CNN don't really talk about Congress, instead they're focused on news about President Trump and White House (which they know nothing about). What's the point of having White House reporters if Congressional reporters just steal their reporting beat?

Misses the point. Did Trump testify? nbcnews.com/politics/trump…
I am a member of the press. I have been since 1984. We are not as good today as we were then. It's all about the money folks. If we're reporting it, it's because we can make money doing it. If we're not, then we're afraid we'll lose money if we do.
3 major news outlets, The Washington Post, Politico, and The New York Times, all received hacked material from former President Donald Trump’s campaign and so far have not published any of the material or offered specifics about exactly what they received.mediaite.com/news/hacked-tr…

He can't even remember he nominated Jerome Powell, but he says the Epstein case is a hoax. He's spiraling fast. salon.com/2025/07/17/hau…

Congress approved $75 billion in extra funding for ICE. But it may approve a budget CUT package to claw back $1.1 billion from public broadcasters PBS & NPR. Join us tonight to discuss how we save public media & global health funding:
Trump leads the way, with a reality show mentality, playing the same note he has played since he was actually on a reality show. And while Trump pretends to be a Christian, he rarely – if ever — adheres to the teachings of the Bible. salon.com/2025/07/10/tex…
I was there. I covered it for KMOL. Almost 38 years to the day. 10 teens died. Much talk followed about early warnings. NOTHING done. Source: Texas Standard share.google/Agm1BHQZbe5pd1…
First Amendment on the fritz with journalists in the crosshairs trying to do their jobs. Arrest, detention, retaliation, threats to public media. We’ll dig in today to the exhaustive & often unconstitutional attacks on press freedom at @NAHJ conference:
Yes to border cops, no to public media? Got it. Congress approved $170 billion for immigration enforcement, incl. $75 billion in new ICE funding. Now, the Senate may approve a budget CUT of $1.1 billion from public broadcasters PBS & NPR. The Senate has until July 18 to vote.
Benavidez said defunding public media is another part of the authoritarian strategy. “Public media is one of the last free, essential ways ppl can access info. Defunding them is a fundamental attack on the public’s ability to access free & accurate info.” editorandpublisher.com/stories/put-on…
