Ron DeSantis\u2019s communications team gave a masterclass performance on Tuesday on how GOP officials should respond to interview requests from members of America\u2019s corrupt, legacy media.<\/p>\n<p>After receiving an inquiry from ABC\u2019s \u201cThe View\u201d for the Republican governor to appear on the program, DeSantis Deputy Press Secretary Bryan Griffin took to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BryanDGriffin\/status\/1554465266393833473?s=20&#038;t=ESaSBkFI8XbkaVQfCMsGXg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twitter<\/a> to explain the administration\u2019s declining of the offer by demonstrating the disingenuous nature of the request.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[A]re the hosts of the View really interested in hearing from Governor DeSantis about all of the important work he is doing on behalf of Floridians to protect their health and livelihoods, to stand up for parents and children, and to defend freedom?\u201d Griffin asked. \u201cWhich of the below statements from the hosts of the View do you recommend our team consider when deciding if the interview will be a genuine pursuit of the truth? Or worth the time?\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><\/figure>\n<p>The examples documented by Griffin include remarks by Joy Behar, who in reference to DeSantis\u2019s bid to bar schools from forcibly masking young students, <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/08\/03\/joy-behar-ron-desantis-negligent-homicidal-sociopath-opposing-masks-schools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">called<\/a> the governor a \u201cnegligent homicidal sociopath.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is he doing? He\u2019s risking the lives of children, children\u2019s parents, their grandparents, anyone they come in contact with so he can appeal to his white supremacist base and continue in his career and get reelected,\u201d Behar said.<\/p>\n<p>Other statements cited by Griffin as evidence of open hostility towards Florida\u2019s Republican governor from the show\u2019s hosts include comments issued by Sunny Hostin, who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/clips\/2022\/06\/14\/abcs-hostin-desantis-is-a-fascist-and-a-bigot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">recently<\/a> referred to DeSantis as a \u201cfascist and a bigot\u201d and has separately characterized his education policies as an attack on \u201cmarginalized groups.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt started with CRT. Let\u2019s remember that.\u00a0If you start coming after those \u2014 those are anti-history laws. Anti-black history laws really,\u201d Hostin <a href=\"https:\/\/newsbusters.org\/blogs\/nb\/kristine-marsh\/2022\/02\/09\/view-bashes-fl-parental-rights-bill-just-harmful-anti-crt-bills\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a> in February. \u201cIf you start coming after black people, who comes next? The LGBTQ+ community, and then women and then other marginalized groups.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis\u2019s rejection of \u201cThe View\u201d seemingly demonstrates an understanding among some GOP politicians that corporate media talking heads aren\u2019t interested in interviewing Republicans, but interrogating them over why they refuse to support the left\u2019s nonsensical, power-grab policies. As a result of Republicans largely boycotting his outlet over its mistreatment of conservative guests and left-wing propaganda, for instance, CNN CEO Chris Licht has reportedly been attempting to lobby GOP lawmakers on Capitol Hill to appear on the network by telling Republicans he wants to \u201cwin back [their] trust.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe CNN chief spent between 45 minutes and an hour cajoling GOP lawmakers who no longer appear on the network to come back on the air \u2014 and assuring them he\u2019d praise producers for inviting them and communicate his displeasure if he doesn\u2019t believe they are treated fairly,\u201d the Washington Free Beacon\u2019s Eliana Johnson <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/media\/chris-lichts-republican-apology-tour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reported<\/a>. \u201cThe charm offensive underscores Licht\u2019s effort to reverse the course set by his predecessor, Jeff Zucker, who \u2026 helped transform CNN into ground zero for the strident resistance to former president Donald Trump and Republicans more broadly, with personalities like Jim Acosta and Brian Stelter adopting nakedly partisan stances that would once have seemed strange in a newsroom\u2014though it is now par for the course.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While it\u2019s one thing for journalists to ask elected officials tough questions, it\u2019s quite another for those same individuals to feign objectivity and berate Republicans with Democrat talking points and \u201cgotcha\u201d questions aimed at granting the left\u2019s premise on the policy issue of the day. In declining inquiries from legacy media, GOP officials should take a page from the DeSantis communications team and shove press outlets\u2019 clear-as-day anti-conservative bias right back in their faces. If media organizations want to act like partisan propaganda machines for the left, it\u2019s past time Republicans start treating them as such.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>\n  Shawn Fleetwood is an intern at The Federalist and a graduate of the University of Mary Washington.
