Former President Barack Obama recently criticized President Trump's actions to restrict certain media outlets from the White House pool, questioning how the public would react had he done the same. He referenced his administration's previous attempts to limit Fox News' access in 2009, citing it as a source for Republican talking points. Despite the controversy, Obama ultimately chose to engage rather than exclude, emphasizing his willingness to deal with media as it was, without losing sleep over its biases.
Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News' credentials from the White House press corps. You're laughing, but this is what's happening.
We see Fox right now as the source and the outlet for Republican Party talking points. And it's fine if that's, you know, how they want to build their business model.
