Ahoy, matey! David Marcus be sayin’ independent scallywags keep the hate at the White House from settin’ sail!
2025-03-14
Arrr! Columnist David Marcus be spottin’ a grand change in the White House’s parley chamber. Once a den o' scallywags, now independent media be swingin' in, and the press no longer be throwin' cannonballs of hostility! It be more like a jolly tavern than a stormy sea, matey!
Ahoy, mateys! When the fair lass, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, declared that the new and independent media would take the helm during President Trump's second voyage, ye could hear the scoffs and eye rolls from the traditional media like a cannonball in a squall!We all remember the ruckus of Trump’s first term, where press conferences were like a brawl at a tavern, with reporters wrestling for the mic like landlubbers for a piece of hardtack. The media, with their “gotcha” questions, were more interested in makin’ a spectacle than truly understandin’ the captain’s orders.
But lo and behold! Now, with the likes of Epoch News and The Post Millennial aboard, the press has transformed from a cacophony of squawkin’ to a reasonable discussion about the ship’s course. The old guard, like the New York Times, still lurk in the shadows, but they ain't holdin’ the wheel anymore.
Even as the new media tosses a few softballs, there be tougher questions flyin’ in, and for sure, they ain’t all in the service of the crown! With trust in journalism at an all-time low, this shift may be the treasure we need to restore balance on the high seas of news! So let’s raise a tankard to fair representation, for in a world of one-sided tales, it be a fine day when all voices can be heard, aye!
