During a segment on MSNBC, host Ari Melber criticized how media outlets that align with President Trump have altered their coverage amidst new White House restrictions on press access. Following a significant policy shift announced by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, which empowers the administration to select which media organizations can attend key events, Melber demonstrated how these changes reflect a troubling trend. He used various clips, including a scene from The Simpsons, to emphasize the ironic fawning over Trump by media that had once criticized others for their close ties to administrations.
Melber highlighted the significant shift in media access decision-making, asserting that this change could distort press freedom, with the White House effectively rewarding favored outlets.
He pointed out the irony of conservative media outlets now praising Trump, recalling their previous criticism of mainstream media's accommodating stance towards past administrations.
