Faux Noise

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

It is clear Watters' satire goes over Cubs' head.
Yeah, me and the internet.

I like her.
Jessica Tarlov is awesome. Harold Ford, Jr. too. I don’t usually agree with their views, but both are well-spoken, fair and extremely patient with their co-hosts.

I love “The Five,” but I hate Jeanine Pirro. She’s loud and arrogant and full of herself. Not too crazy about Jesse Watters, either.

My ideal “five” would be Dana Perino, Greg Gutfeld, Jessica Tarlov, Harold Ford and Tyrus. I like Tyrus because he’s just a regular guy with a regular guy’s perspective.

I don't know Harold Ford, Jr, but otherwise :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: What about Jacqui Heinrich?
Donald Trump Rips Into Fox News Reporter

President Donald Trump took aim at Fox News' senior White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich in a Truth Social post on Wednesday, criticizing her reporting and suggesting she would be better suited for CNN rather than the conservative cable news network.
:cry: :violin:
Why It Matters

... Trump's media moves have raised concerns among some in the industry who fear that access to reporting will become increasingly difficult as credentials are revoked.

Trump and one of his top advisers, Elon Musk, own social media platforms Truth Social and X (formerly Twitter) respectively, both of which play a major role in media and information circulation.
:roll: There's always a grift.
What To Know

... The White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) is a longstanding organization of journalists who independently cover the president. These journalists are elected by their peers and help determine press access to the president. Heinrich serves as a WHCA board member, elected to the seat in 2022.

In February, Trump broke with a century-long tradition by announcing that administration officials would decide which news outlets could cover the president. Heinrich was critical of Trump's decision, saying on X: "This move does not give the power back to the people- it gives the power to the White House. The WHCA is democratically elected by the full-time White House press corps." ...

(DonOLD is whining about an interview with a Repub about his shilling for Tesla in front of the WH while he's crashing the markets)

What People Are Saying

Brit Hume, Fox News chief political analyst, Wednesday on X: "I watched her too. She plays it straight, covering both sides of a story and has certainly played fair with you. You may have a case against some White House reporters, but not @JacquiHeinrich."

Eugene Daniels, president of the White House Correspondents' Association, said in a late-February statement about the Trump administration regulating the press pool: "This move tears at the independence of a free press in the United States. It suggests the government will choose the journalists who cover the president. In a free country, leaders must not be able to choose their own press corps."

Delaney Marsco, director of ethics at the Campaign Legal Center, a U.S. government watchdog, told ABC News: "The federal government isn't in the business of endorsing products to buy. The federal government is supposed to be making policy decisions that better the lives of the American public not making endorsements of the president's friends or the president's donors."
What do you think of Brit Hume, too?
