It turns out that President Donald Trump may not have thought through all the consequences before he banned some of his most hated news outlets from the White House.

After Trump declared CNN, MS NOW, and Politico “fake news” and exiled them from the White House grounds on Friday, the other networks that make up the White House press pool—including ABC, CBS, NBC, and even Fox News—agreed to boycott their pool duties on Monday in solidarity with the banned outlets.


Lol, will it be a TACO Tuesday?

    I hate Fox as much as anyone with a functioning brain, but saying, “even Fox News…” isn’t necessary. This isn’t the first time he’s gone after journalists like this, and Fox joined the other members of the press pool in their protest last time. They understand as much as anyone else that if he can ban 1 journalist/network, he can ban any journalist/network. And it’s not like they haven’t found themselves the target of his ire in the past.

        Yep, I believe Fox fired the person who made that call. This, after a number of other networks said Fox had built one of the best election calling teams in the industry.
