NewsBusters Podcast: Will Team Trump Revolutionize the Press Briefing?

November 27th, 2024 10:25 PM

On his podcast, Donald Trump Jr. said they are considering giving podcast stars like Joe Rogan and Megyn Kelly a seat in the White House press briefing room instead of the usual liberal suspects, which might "blow up some heads." What might change in the daily drama of the Karoline Leavitt briefings?

It would be unexpected for people like Joe Rogan to fly in from Austin to be in briefing. In the last Trump administration, they experimented with questions from local journalists and radio hosts, but it didn't become a formal routine.

Team Trump could rearrange the seating chart and make the front row Fox News, Newsmax, The Washington Examiner, The Daily Caller, Sinclair, and so on. The liberals would complain that this is an ideological arrangement. Oh really? And what is ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and AP? The legcy media thinks their "legacy" branding makes them special.

Also: Harris campaign manager Jen O'Malley Dillon went on the "Pod Save America" podcast to explain why it was vitally important for Kamala to be interviewed on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast, usually reserved for sexual topics. She was looking for low-propensity voters with a high propensity for sex chatter. The Harris campaign blew a billion dollars plus, not to mention the value of all that glowing network "news" coverage, and she still lost. 

Then we briefly explore Axios.com co-founder Jim VandeHei losing his mind about Elon Musk tweeting "you are all journalists now" on Election Night. Doesn't he know only educated liberals can call themselves journalists?
