Trump is scared - he says all of that stuff because he sees that his approval is taking down towards term 1 very quickly...so say the opposite so his cult believes the facts are fake.

It's his tired playbook, but it does show that he knows the cracks are present.

White House’s New Favorite Reporter’s Outlet Took Payments For Covering Trump

Brian Glenn was the one who asked Zelenskyy why he wasn’t wearing a suit. RSBN, the “news” outlet he helped build, has taken $192,000 from Trump.

“… Over those years, the outlet took $92,000 in “broadcast” fees, first from Trump’s Save America committee and then from Trump’s campaign, according to a HuffPost review of Federal Election Commission filings.

… Glenn acknowledged the payments in a brief interview, describing them as “production” costs, and then pointed to the row of television cameras set up in the back of the White House briefing room.

“Who pays for them?” he asked, suggesting that the major networks like NBC, CNN and Fox also accept money from the entities they cover.

In fact, taking such payments would be considered a serious ethical breach among reputable news outlets. The television networks covering this and previous White Houses, as well as print and radio outlets, all pay their own expenses when covering political events, as does HuffPost.

Indeed, the Trump administration, including the White House, has falsely accused legitimate news organizations of corruption because government agencies, even those in the first Trump term, bought subscriptions from them, including some to expensive, lobbyist-oriented trade publications.

Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary who had worked on Trump’s campaign, also acknowledged the payments.

“The Trump campaign paid RSBN for the usage of their live stream,” she said.


She did not address HuffPost’s question regarding the ethics of an outlet accepting money from the subject it was covering. …”
 

Fox Business Host Slams Trump White House – and Former Co-Host – For Dodging Her Requests to Talk Economy: ‘I’ll Air Dirty Laundry All Day’​

Fox Business Host Slams Trump White House – and Former Co-Host – For Dodging Her Requests to Talk Economy: 'I'll Air Dirty Laundry All Day'

“I’ll air dirty laundry all day. I don’t care," Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy's former co-host Dagen McDowell says
www.thewrap.com www.thewrap.com

“… “Some of the people in communications at the White House, in the Treasury, will not respond to the show trying to just book anybody to talk about this economy,” she told her “The Big Money Show” co-stars. “They won’t even answer the show, but Scott Bessent goes on one of the lowest rated shows on another network.”

Indeed, Treasury Secretary Bessent appeared on CBS News’ “Face the Nation” last week to discuss the media’s opposing coverage of President Trump’s economy versus that of former President Biden. McDowell’s co-host Charles Gasparino made sure to point out Bessent also sat down with Fox Business’ Larry Kudlow for a Q&A with the Economic Club of New York this past week, but that doesn’t cut it for her.

“If they want to communicate with the American people… I’m calling them out,” McDowell continued. “The people who work for these Treasury Secretaries need to answer a text message. It’s shameful.” …”

Fox pissed to be treated as second tier media by their former colleagues now in government.

It should go without saying, but Fox "News" is a cancer on our body politic and, imo, bears a lot of the responsibility for what's happened to our politics and toxic culture and deep partisan divisions. The term "Fox News Orphan" is real, and Fox has very successfully learned how to keep its viewers in a constant state of anger and outrage and keep them coming back for more. I remember even 15 or 20 years ago if there was a completely unknown liberal/radical instructor at Podunk Community College somewhere who said something that Republicans and conservatives might find offensive, Fox would be sure to find the quote and blow it out of all proportion to enrage their viewers and convince them that this was what every single Democrat believed and stood for. It's wicked, but for them it's been wildly successful beyond their greatest dreams.
 

’60 Minutes’ Producer Bill Owens Resigns Citing Inability to Make “Independent Decisions”​

Longtime 60 Minutes executive producer Bill Owens is resigning. In an email to staff, Owens cited an inability “to make independent decisions based on what was right for 60 Minutes.”

“Over the past months, it has…become clear that I would not be allowed to run the show as I have always run it,” Owens wrote. “To make independent decisions based on what was right for 60 Minutes, right for the audience. So, having defended this show — and what we stand for — from every angle, over time with everything I could, I am stepping aside so the show can move forward.”
