"New Media" of podcasters/content creators/influencers at WH Press Room

[MechAg94]

White House has now received more than 10,000 applications

And once those 10,000+ applications are reviewed and "New Media" credentials issued, White House briefing room will be changed for the next 4 years.

I foresee some entertaining arguments and confrontations in the press area.  Many of the Youtubers will have their phone recording and many of the reporters will be on cameras instead of behind it.

I remember when the White House kicked out Acosta and a court ordered him readmitted. Now if they get rid of someone, they can simply say "No room!"

"We are the media now" ... "New Media" is the growing movement for free speech that was hampered by legacy media ... 

"New Media" is the truer voice of "We the People".

Why Joe Rogan Predicts Democrats Will "Keep Shedding People" - https://www.newsweek.com/why-joe-rogan-predicts-democrats-keep-shredding-people-2029499

Joe Rogan added Americans are increasingly rejecting major news outlets. "We don't trust you anymore. We don't trust The New York Times. We don't trust The Washington Post. We don't trust CNN or MSNBC. They're all full of propaganda"

This growing distrust has fueled the rise of alternative media and online voices. "That's why the internet rose. It's not because there's some sort of heavily funded right-wing conspiracy. No, you guys suck.  You're not real people. Nobody wants to hang out with Brian Stelter."

"They Don't Understand Social Media"

Beyond media distrust, Rogan argued that Democrats fail to grasp the impact of social media in shaping public opinion. "They don't understand social media or the dynamics of a completely state-controlled mainstream media, where they only pushed the narratives you guys wanted"

By ignoring alternative viewpoints and dismissing dissent, Rogan suggested, the party is deepening the divide between itself and disaffected voters. "We know they've got talking points ... We don't trust you anymore."

"We are the media now" ...

With legacy MSM losing viewers, their agenda driven narrative will lose gate keeping "news" reporting between now and 2026/2028 elections.  And as illustrated by graphic below, next generations of younger voters are increasingly obtaining their news feeds from non-legacy media outlets.  We are the media now.

What you see here is clearest illustration ... Put simply: right-wing has narrative dominance.

My org (@mmfa) did this study and been sounding this alarm for years. Some thoughts...

Kostas Moros - https://x.com/MorosKostas/status/1901051021549519057

The suppression of rightwing views in conventional media and most social media ended up being a gift. It forced conservatives to build their own alternative infrastructure, and also made them "cool" as the new counterculture (ironically enough).

Wasn't it Obama who wanted to pass laws against "right wing" media because it was absolutely hammering him?

Good luck with that now, leftards...

Interesting article apropos to where this discussion currently meandered

https://www.tabletmag.com/feature/rapid-onset-political-enlightenment

Obama, Axelrod and the implementation of techniques based on some of the most current understandings on how to manufacture public opinion.

These techniques are apolitical and can be used by any group that understands them and has the means.

This is exactly why the shitlibs want the FCC to hobble the internet plus bring back and expand stuff like the fairness doctrine.

And then we find out this year just why the MSM has been acting exactly like Pravda- literary being paid to do so by Leviathan.

UNPOSSIBLE! WHERE'S DON LEMON? THE ONLY TRUE CRUSADER FOR THE GAY LEFT, WHICH IS THE REAL RIGHT??

The fact that Trevor Noah is number one just shows what an absolute shitshow of a joke the left's presence in online media.

Wasn't it, once again, the Obama organization who basically created and grew online outreach in 2008?

I remember there being observations that the Right had NO clue how to use the internet to communicate to groups, and likely never would.

Guess that aged like fine milk.

The article I linked to above is a deep dive into the Obama/Axelrod system for manufacturing public opinion, and how it has been in part subverted.

These days, White House press briefing/conference is a breath of fresh air with questions from "New Media" alternative news outlets without the usual "gate keeping" questions by the MSM.

And when questions are asked, press secretary Karoline Levitt answers them directly from memory without being evasive and fumbling through notes. 👍

Very glad Forbes is posting full press conference with faces of reporters asking questions.

I'd guess that, for the past four years, the majority of news gatekeeping by the former "major" outlets was done by interns. At least that's how it feels.
 
And they were lazy.

Yeah. Last I heard, his late-night 2-minutes-hate show was cancelled. Guess he went he Tucker Carlson route.

I do think it makes sense that American Lefties would gravitate toward a foreigner to tell them what to think. That is their way.

Trump White House Debuts "Podcast Row" as New Media Push Expands - https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-white-house-debuts-podcast-171501274.html

Honestly with Bari Weiss - https://x.com/thehonestlypod/status/1909598953017844098

Axios founder @JimVandeHei says trust in American media collapsed in three phases.

1. Twitter exposed the political bias of “objective” journalists.

2. Coverage of Covid, “defund the police,” and word policing didn’t sit right with Americans.

3. The lack of coverage around Joe Biden’s mental decline was the final straw.

“And it breaks my heart… I am a fierce defender of journalism...  I think it’s a couple of bad apples who make it look bad for for everyone.”

No not "couple of bad apples" rather entire bushel of bad rotten apples ... and most of them funded by USAID.   And distrust in legacy media won't change anytime soon, not sure if ever.

"We are the media now" is the mantra of "New Media" of podcasters, content creators and influencers increasing number of Americans will trust.

Start of "New Media" landscape. 👍👍👍

Legacy mainstream media gatekeeping free speech and days of agenda driven "news" reporting is coming to an end for the White House press room.
I can just picture Joe Rogan and Tim Pool sitting at the front of press room asking questions many of us want to ask.

This White House believes strongly in the First Amendment ...

We're also opening up this briefing room to New Media voices, who produced news related content and whose outlet is not already represented by one of the seats in this room.

BOOM, you go Tim ... 👍👍👍 (Karoline Leavitt responds at 0:45 minute of video)

Eric Daugherty - https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1914737187486105851

🚨 JUST IN: TIM POOL asks the first question at today's WH press briefing.

He called out the entire media room and I bet they were seething. 😂

"Many of the news organization represented in this room have marched in lock step on false narratives, such as the 'very fine people' hoax, the Covington smear, and now, the 'Maryland man' hoax. Where an MS-13 gang member, adjudicated by 2 different judges I believe, is simply being referred to as a 'Maryland man' over and over again."

"In an effort from the White House to expand access to new companies, you've created this New Media Seat. I'm wondering if you can comment on - following this expansion, you've had numerous outlets disparage the companies [and] reporters [you've had here]."

"I'm wondering if you can comment on that unprofessional behavior, as well as elaborate on if there's any plans to expand access to new companies." - @Timcast

"We are the media now"

The Trump administration continues to revamp how the Executive Branch interacts with the media, with White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Monday hosting the first-ever “influencer meeting.” - https://www.yahoo.com/news/florida-influencer-kicks-off-white-195341385.html

The meeting resembled a typical press briefing ... and it featured several prominent pro-Trump creators and media members, including former Press Secretary Sean Spicer.

... Millions of Americans now turn to podcasts and social media influencers for their news, and President Trump, Leavitt said, wants to embrace that change.

“It’s well past time the White House press operation reflected the media habits of the American people in 2025, not 1925”

Reason why increasing Americans distrust the legacy media and will increasingly rely on alternative "New Media" for their news.

Remember these?  How did real-time "fact checking" work out for legacy media?

If you want to learn what mainstream news will admit in the future, follow rightwing news in the present lol.

Biden decline, lab leak, Audrey Hale, lots more examples.

And they get no credit for these very belated admissions, particularly when they played stupid for ideological reasons. E.g. Hunter Biden laptop.

Thats not to say rightwing aligned news is always right. Far from it. But the mainstream press does not deserve the credibility it gets.
