Fox News Accuses Trump of ‘Weaponizing’ Press Passes in Statement Supporting CNN Lawsuit
Further proof that the pre-Trump “Democrat vs. Republican” dichotomy was simply an illusion of choice, Fox News tipped its hand by supporting CNN’s lawsuit against the Trump White House for revoking the press credentials of activist, protestor and alleged reporter Jim Acosta.
“Fox News supports CNN in its legal effort to regain its White House reporter’s press credential,” Jay Wallace, President of Fox News said in a statement according to AP reporter Zeke Miller.
“We intend to find an amicus brief with the U.S. District Court,” the statement continued. “Secret Service passes for Working White House journalists should never be weaponized. While we don’t condone the growing antagonistic by both the President and the press at recent media avails, we do support a free press, access and open exchanges for the American people.”
The “free press” argument is obviously bogus. If Trump is truly assailing the “free press” by revoking Acosta’s credentials, then everyone calling themselves a reporter must be granted White House press credentials. Acosta is a guest in the White House. The First Amendment does not grant him the right to be there.
This is the latest in Fox News, supposedly the alternative to far left cable news (which includes every other news network), siding with Democrats. Last week, they outraged their audience by calling the House of Representative in favor of Democrats before polls even closed on the West Coast on midterm election day.

President Trump Takes Down Chinese State Media Reporter: “Who Do You Work For, China?”
The reporter works for a company all-but controlled by the Chinese government.
President Donald Trump correctly questioned if a reporter promoting the supposed efforts of Chinese companies to provide needed coronavirus supplies was working for a Chinese-government controlled media company at Monday’s press conference.
Youyou Wang asked a question that was phrased as more of a statement, describing the humanitarian efforts of Chinese companies Huawei and Alibaba as a potential motive for the United States to rescind trade restrictions on China in the wake of the epidemic.

“Who are you working for, China? Do you work for China, or do you work for a newspaper? Who are you with?”
Youyou Wang stated that she works for a privately owned media company, but scrutiny of Hong Kong Phoenix TV reveals that it’s closely linked to the Chinese government. According to The National Pulse’s Raheem Kassam, 37.1% of the company’s parent, Phoenix Satellite Holdings, is owned by a former Colonel for China’s state propaganda TV channel. Another 20% of the company is owned by Extra Step Investments Limited, which is a subsidiary of a Chinese government-owned company called China Mobile.

Mainstream media operatives immediately pivoted to paint Trump’s wholly reasonable inquiry to the nature of Wang’s media company as somehow prejudiced, claiming that it was inappropriate that Trump question the motives of someone who was trying to defend China’s major corporations and government in the midst of the pandemic.
His suspicions appear to have been validated, considering no more than 65% of the company is owned by individuals and entities with demonstrable connections to the Chinese government. Many of China’s nominally ‘private’ companies are essentially owned by the nation’s authoritarian government and work tirelessly to advance its interests.
