They are trying to put Breitbart up as MSM.

cozietoesie · 24/02/2017 18:30

Sure they are. There have been lots of promises made. Smile

Solov: "We want to get our credentials. We think we are a qualified organization."

Solov: "I want to disclose as little as possible about financial and ownership structure."

The committee has gone into incognito mode. Solov and we 3 reporters are out in the hallway

cozietoesie · 24/02/2017 18:30

Sorry. There will have been lots of promises made.

cozietoesie · 24/02/2017 18:37

I really hope CNN - and some others, perhaps - boycott the dinner.

They could mount an alternative 'occasion'? Grin

Well that makes sense, I've been wondering how long it'll be until they'll make their own news network, as Fox will only support them so far. But why not just legitimise the one they already own?

Next thing you know Fox will be known as fake news too. If I were Rupert Murdoch I'd be thinking fast.

BiglyBadgers · 24/02/2017 18:42

It was noted that in his speech at CPac Bannon referred to himself as 'we at Breitbart'. Hmm

And we're back. The owners of Breitbart are Solov, Andrew Breitbart's widow, and the Mercer family

That's according to Solov right now

Susie Breitbart has the largest percentage ownership stake in Breitbart, Solov says

Committee wants letter w:

  • date of Bannon's resignation
  • that it's a termination not a leave
  • address any editorial/financial interest

Committee asks who in the Mercer family is an owner, Solov says he won't break it down further right now

Committee's next meeting is March 20, wants the letter by then, sooner the better, they say!

Solov: "If I could get Bannon to write it down, I would" (regarding the resignation/relationship)

Fox is starting to turn on them.....I don't think it will be long at all before Fox is deemed FAKE NEWS as well.

I await Murdoch going in for the political jugular on Bannon and Trump. Grin

GingerIvy · 24/02/2017 18:44

At least it's headed off until 20 March.

So, WH @PressSec is not holding a press briefing today, instead is holding an off-camera gaggle, and is excluding many major outlets.

Breitbart, OANN, Washington Times are all in White House briefing. CNN and NY Times (and LA Times) not allowed in.

BiglyBadgers · 24/02/2017 18:50

Oh goodness. Actively excluding critical press now. This really is turning into a war.

On the bright side Hillary Clinton has posted

An 'alternative' WH correspondents' dinner could be great. (Who would they get to make the 'President's speech'? Wink) It could be the social event of the year in fact. Smile

Among those let in to the off-camera @PressSec gaggle is Breitbart, which @perlberg just reported is partially owned by a top Trump donor.

Trump's speech at CPAC was horrifying. Whining, lying, bullying, seeking cheap cheers. He was campaigning. Does he not want to govern, ever?
