It is a realization that the liberal media monopoly is still in
the process of disintegration
Its no secret that the Trump administration has established a new
paradigm in dealing with the press. Its something we have advocated
from the start of the new administration. One major aspect of the new
approach is accepting the conservative media as legitimate members of the
press. After this produced changes in how the press covers the State
Department, the gnashing of teeth really began.
Liberal reporters werent interested in the anniversary of the conflict
in Syria that has taken 500,000 lives. They wanted to know why a reporter
from a conservative outlet was allowed on a State Department plane to
Asia. They saw it as a challenge to their power and authority, and
peppered the State Department spokesman with hostile questions.
Can we move beyond this? pleaded Mark C. Toner, the acting
spokesperson, as reporters displayed their selfish attitudes on press
access.
The liberal media were in meltdown mode over the decision to bring Erin
McPike of the Independent Journal Review (IJR) on the official plane
carrying Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to Asia.
A Reuters story, Conservative website only media on Tillerson plane to
Asia, captured the sorrow. In the briefing room, the sorrow erupted into
grief and barely-controlled anger.
This is a conservative outlet, protested Michelle Kosinski, a Senior
Diplomatic Correspondent for CNN, referring to IJR. She added, For the
White House, or whoever made this decision, to choose an organization
that is not part of the pool and is an obviously conservative website or
whatever you want to call it, doesnt that narrow the message and not
broaden it? And what message does this send to the American public and
the rest of the world?
New Trump administration wants to accommodate the new media
The message it sends is that the old liberal media, also known as the
obviously liberal media, are not as important as they once were. It
means that the new Trump administration wants to accommodate the new
media.
Please take a moment to watch or read a transcript of the State
Departments March 15 briefing. It is something to behold. Some reporters
seemed on the verge of an emotional breakdown. Actually watching the
briefing gives you an insight into the reporters berating the spokesman
for the department. They are not identified by name in the transcript.
The State Department acknowledges trying to reach a new audience by
including a conservative reporter. Toner called it looking outside the
box. He explained, I think it sends a message that were willing to look
at new paradigms with our approach to the media, again, while at the same
time ensuring that traditional media has full access, and non-traditional
media for that matter.
It is a realization that the liberal media monopoly is still in the
process of disintegration.

CNNs global affairs correspondent Elise Labott: a shill for
the Democrats, masquerading as a reporter
The new way of doing business was not acceptable to CNNs global affairs
correspondent Elise Labott, who countered, So does that mean that in
your effort to include a broader participation of U.S. media, that the
foreign policy journalists and diplomatic press corps that have traveled
with the secretary for ages and are steeped in the issues of foreign
policy and that are at this podium questioning about U.S. policy and the
various developments every day are being kind of excluded?
You get the point: only the established liberal media steeped in the
issues of foreign policy have the credentials to cover the State
Department and get special seats on a State Department plane.
Keep in mind that reporters can still take other flights to the
destination to cover the secretary of state.
Labotts foreign policy expertise was exposed in emails released during
the presidential campaign showing that she worked with an aide to Hillary
Clinton to discredit Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) for his tough questioning of
the then-secretary of state during a Benghazi hearing in 2013. AIMs Don
Irvine called Labott nothing more than a shill for the Democrats,
masquerading as a reporter.
It appears that somebody in the White House and/or the State Department
understands this as well.
Yet, the arrogant Labott insisted that the IJR reporter does not know
anything about these foreign policy issues.
Later, at the briefing, another reporter protested the new pick-and-
choose system whereby you select individual reporters or news
organizations, rather than going with what had previously been the
practice, which is to include a wide array of news organizations, and at
a minimum, a wire service reporter who would share the information with
all the other regulars and whose news organizations have very wide
dissemination of their reports?
Of course, the fact is that conservative media are able to disseminate
information as well, and their audiences count for something, too.
A new day is dawning.
