Much to their dismay, some GOPers are even refusing to engage with or acknowledge journos desperate to write hit pieces.<\/p>\n<p>In one New York Magazine <a href=\"https:\/\/nymag.com\/intelligencer\/2022\/07\/why-republicans-stopped-talking-to-the-press.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Intelligencer article<\/a>, headlined \u201cWhy Republicans Stopped Talking to the Press,\u201d David Freedlander complains that former President Donald Trump ushered in a new era of media disdain in GOP politics that encourages \u201cactively courting the media\u2019s scorn while avoiding anything that may be viewed as consorting with the enemy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One anonymous GOP adviser explained bluntly, \u201cWe know reporters always disagreed with the Republican Party,\u201d and outlets now are \u201cjust chasing resistance rage-clicks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Freedlander, however, rejects those valid concerns and suggests that \u201cthere is really not much Republicans can say\u201d after supporting Donald Trump. (Maybe Freedlander and the New York Times\u2019s Bret Stephens, who recently penned a <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/07\/22\/i-was-wrong-about-the-media-theyve-always-been-a-pretentious-gang-of-losers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">disingenuous article<\/a> further exposing his contempt for Trump supporters, are friends?)<\/p>\n<p>According to Freedlander and his pal New York Times writer Jeremy Peters, Republicans \u201cdon\u2019t want to have to defend Donald Trump and his falsehoods about the election.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Freedlander notes that \u201cmost top \u201924 contenders are media-makers in their own right, hosting their own podcasts or, at minimum, building out robust social-media feeds.\u201d Instead of acknowledging that\u2019s because conservatives have faced endless political censorship from Big Tech and grave dishonesty from the press, Freedlander says that\u2019s because Republicans want to \u201cfind places where they don\u2019t have to face any questions\u201d about Trump\u2019s election integrity concerns. <\/p>\n<p>Vanity Fair published a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/news\/2022\/07\/will-republicans-shut-out-the-press-in-2024\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">similar article<\/a> on Tuesday whining about the Republican Party of Florida\u2019s decision to limit which media outlets were allowed to cover their Sunshine Summit, a conference headlined by one of the most <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/01\/06\/ron-desantis-gives-master-class-on-how-to-respond-to-propaganda-press-over-dem-hoaxes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">skilled media rejectionists<\/a>, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGOP politicians are increasingly shirking sit-down interviews, barring journalists from 2022 events, and skipping debates\u2014an aversion to media scrutiny that could upend how the next presidential election cycle is covered,\u201d the subheadline warns. <\/p>\n<p>Vanity Fair, which has had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/topic\/ron-desantis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">no shame in attacking DeSantis<\/a> and other Republicans before, clearly published the article with the intent to spark fear about the growing distance between the party and the press. That\u2019s why the headline asks, \u201cWill Republicans Shut Out The Press in 2024?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I sure hope Republicans shut out the press, especially if that means red legislators will refuse to cede ground to corrupt actors who have <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2020\/10\/30\/yes-media-are-rigging-election-against-half-the-country-heres-how\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">no problems meddling in elections<\/a> to fulfill their political aims. <\/p>\n<p>After all, history proves that the corporate media is hostile toward the GOP <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2020\/11\/05\/these-journalists-glossy-feature-pieces-turned-out-to-be-completely-wrong-about-the-2020-election\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">and red voters<\/a>. When journalists bother to try to talk to Republicans, they are more likely than not acting in bad faith. Why should Republicans, who know the corporate media have a clear left-wing bent, buy into the Democrat-informed narratives peddled by media activists?<\/p>\n<p>Even normal people know the media are not to be trusted. Recent polling suggests Americans\u2019 confidence in media is at <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/07\/20\/poll-americans-confidence-in-media-plummets-to-all-time-low\/\">an all-time low<\/a>. Only 16 percent of Americans claimed to have a \u201cgreat deal\/quite a lot of confidence in newspapers.\u201d That confidence falls even lower to 11 percent for TV news.<\/p>\n<p>As GOP strategist Dave Carney bluntly put it for Freedlander: \u201cNo one gives a f-ck what the New York Times writes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And neither should Republican politicians.  <\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>\n  Jordan Boyd is a staff writer at The Federalist and co-producer of The Federalist Radio Hour.
