‘Will Result in Termination’: Newsmax Bans Criticism of Pete Hegseth After Trump Fumed Over Host’s Attack

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

It's crazy how MAGA doesn't have a problem with this. Team Trump is dictating to conservative news networks what can and can't be said. They were furious when it was revealed that members of the Biden administration were conspiring with social media to censor COVID "misinformation." What makes this any different?

Either way, word made it to Newsmax that Trump was furious. One insider said Ruddy was “shook” after word came Trump was displeased.

That sparked action at the network, sources said. On Friday, Newsmax chief operating officer Elliot Jacobson convened staff at its New York headquarters to issue guidance in what one source described as an “aggressive, panicked tone.”

Jacobson said that on-air coverage of Hegseth needed to “focus on the positive,” the source said. Jacobson told staff that if guests bring up Hegseth, hosts should explain to viewers that the claims against him are allegations and then “pivot.”

“Any issues following this will result in termination,” the executive warned.

Who said Trump dictated anything to anyone?...And who watches Newsmucks anyway?

Oh....Mediaite.

 

[JGalt]

Why would Newsmax forcus on bogus allegations that are lies, like CNN and MSNBC does?

Maybe that's why so many viewers are walking away from CNN and MSNBC.

How exactly is "Team Trump dictating to conservative news networks what can and can't be said"?

"In a statement, the network said, “President Trump never called Mr. Ruddy about the Hegseth nomination and he never expressed dissatisfaction with Greg Kelly’s show in any way.”

"Sources said..."
Cool story, Taz.
Yet another NARRATIVE from the demented LEFT

Did I say Trump called him personally? No, but you knew that when you wrote it. Feel free to explain the rest now that your cherry picking is complete.

Actually, you were the one "cherry picking" since you purposefully left that part of the story out of your OP because it didn't fit the narrative you're attempting to create based on the headline and then followed it up by ducking the central question.

AGAIN, how exactly is "Team Trump dictating to conservative news networks what can and can't be said"? Smoke signals? Telepathy?

Lucy, you got some 'xplainin' to do.

There goes our "Trump is dictating..." narrative.

The implication is inherent in the phrase "Team Trump is dictating...."

dimocrap scum deal in lies and innuendo. It's all they have left. Facts virtually never support their sick agenda, so it's all they got

Did you ever wonder why the coverage of Joe Biden was 95%+ positive on all the corporate media outlets, while his presidency (and our economy) was completely falling apart?

No, of course you didn't.

It's crazy how you dim bulb Biden cultists keep posting opinion attack pieces, as if they are facts.

No, of course you didn't.

I do, if true. First amendment allows it. Shame on them. They are wrong.

Lucy, you got some 'xplainin' to do.

I literally didn't cherry pick as I never once claimed that Trump called anybody. You extrapolated that point. The article, which you would know if you read through the entire thing, said it was members of Trump's team who called NewsMax. Now, if you're claiming that didn't happen, by all means, feel free to offer up evidence it's all a lie and then explain to us why the news organization is taking the action they are.

Good luck
