You kick out NBC for OAN and you don’t see an issue with that?
NBC?
John Chancellor? David Brinkley? Brian Williams? The Bonanza Network?
You’re probably much too young…
Curt Gowdy? Jane Pauley?
That broadcast network has been a truth telling staple for almost 100 years (Nov. 1926) and has been a fixture at the Pentagon for decades…
Just like Walter Cronkite and “that’s the way it is” CBS…

And you’re gonna sit there and say there’s no issue with pulling the plug on them and replacing with OAN, Newsmax, et.al.?

Nobody here thinks you’ve got anything serious to add on any subject, but this just confirms it.

OAN and Newsmax are more biased to the right than the current outlets are biased to the left. That being the case, what is the downside or danger in having crappy news outlets onsite in the Pentagon?

Remember when I said I would prefer that outlets like OAN were not in the Pentagon? If we agree, which we appear to, that there is no danger, but we both don't want them there...

It's okay to have multiple things going on at once.

By the way, it's a big deal that the media, presumably because of the fear/hatred of Trump, shirks their responsibilities.

"Freedom of the press! Freedom of the press!"

Ok. Do your job.

They ONLY care when it’s trump. They applaud the press for covering up Joe’s basement naps and Jill’s shadow G’ment. Hell, they have disowned the NYT for not being more in the tank for dimocrats. All hypocrites.

Bezos obeyed in advance and his paper still got booted out of the Pentagon.

And I doubt he cares as long as his lucrative government contracts remain safe. He'll sacrifice the Post in a heartbeat if he believes that it's necessary to protect his business interests. Which is why having a handful of plutocrats and corporate conglomerates controlling our news media is a really, really bad idea. It's too late to stop it now, though.
 
What's the quote; something like: if you wish to know who your true rulers are, find out whom you are not allowed to criticize.

Not unexpected, but still scary stuff.
 
You know who else refuses to call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America? Everybody else in the world outside Trump’s little band of bootlickers.

I see the town of Gulf Shores AL has failed to update their website. Will they be shunned by Trump?

“Gulf Shores is a coastal city, located in Baldwin County, Alabama on the Gulf of Mexico. The population of Gulf Shores in 2000 was 5,044, with 2,344 permanent households. It is home to a constantly changing population. Summer months generate a surge of tourists estimated in the hundreds of thousands. In addition, we are visited in the winter months by a large population known as “snowbirds.” Snowbirds visit Gulf Shores for as many as three to five months during the winter and spring, and then return to their primary residences in northern states for the remainder of the year.”
