The Dworkin Report - They Obeyed in Advance, Trump Still Made Them Pay [View all]

In the White House Press Briefing Room on Friday, John Ashbrook was put right up front, in a spot normally reserved for staff.

Ashbrook, host of a pro-GOP podcast, was given the red-carpet treatment as he filled Trump’s “new media” seat. His “hard-hitting” question sounded completely staged, asking if the Press Secretary personally thought the media was out of touch. What an absolute joke.

Since this “new media” seat idea was announced Tuesday, a right-winger from Brietbart has also asked the first question. It seems to be Trump’s new weapon against the Press—having scripted questions that allow Donald to more easily spread his lies.

NBC News, NPR, The NY Times, and Politico were all kicked out of their workspaces, and replaced with maga propaganda outlets One America News, Breitbart, the New York Post, and randomly—HuffPost.
