That should be fun! <\/p>\n<p>Even more so because there are a few problems the media have created for themselves in advance.<\/p>\n<p>For the past six years, journalists in Washington and New York have been <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/11\/01\/media-ponder-how-dishonest-and-manipulative-to-be-for-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pondering aloud<\/a> on how \u201cresponsible\u201d they are for Trump having ever been president, what they should have done to prevent it, and <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/10\/17\/dear-washington-post-journalists-the-public-interest-isnt-the-same-thing-as-your-political-preference\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">how they can handicap him<\/a> if he ever tries to get there again.<\/p>\n<p>This is called a conspiracy. Or, if you prefer, collusion.<\/p>\n<p>But since they\u2019re on the record admitting their emotional hostility toward a major party presidential candidate, it\u2019s impossible for them to pretend that every editorial decision they make in covering the election is anything but driven by that hostility. It\u2019s not new that the media hate Trump. But that there is now such an enormous body of evidence proving that they are prepared to actively choke every ounce of breath from his new campaign means they can\u2019t sell it to voters that this is going to be fair by any measure.<\/p>\n<p>Hmm. Who do we know to have thrived in and even relished circumstances that are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/the-fix\/wp\/2016\/10\/20\/the-emmys-a-chemistry-test-and-an-election\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">demonstrably unfair<\/a>? Not sure at the moment, but I\u2019ll get back to ya!<\/p>\n<p>If Trump wants to recreate 2016, he\u2019ll have to do what he did in 2016. He\u2019ll have to step outside of the Fox News cocoon and beat the media on their turf \u2014 their studios, their airwaves. I don\u2019t know if he can do it again, but it\u2019s the only way. To limit himself to friendly (though increasingly less so) anchors at Fox is to write off all the voters he needs and who want to hear him answer questions related to his handling of the pandemic, crime, abortion, Ukraine, the economy, and on and on. He can\u2019t be afraid to put himself in that environment now, just as he wasn\u2019t in 2016. The point is to prove that as president, he had it right, that the press has been wrong, and that the truth is on his side.<\/p>\n<p>The media, however, are going to have to make some very interesting choices. Do they resist covering Trump\u2019s campaign events? Live feeds of his rallies are going to be 100 percent excluded outside of maybe Fox News. (After a Media Matters staffer <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ndrew_lawrence\/status\/1592702740551159814\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">called out CNN<\/a> on Tuesday for airing Trump\u2019s campaign announcement live, the channel cut to \u201canalysis\u201d and \u201cfact-checking.\u201d) All of his pronouncements on social media related to policy will be ignored, other than to call them racist, without sharing exactly what he said.<\/p>\n<p>But what about press conferences? Are they going to decline on-camera interviews? Are they only going to sit down with Trump under the condition that it\u2019s not live so that they can \u201cfact-check\u201d him in the editing process?<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re going to talk about him. There\u2019s no way they can\u2019t. But how do they explain to their audiences that they\u2019ve set up different rules and created separate editorial decisions specifically for one candidate?<\/p>\n<p>No matter which way they turn, it\u2019s a dead end. That is, unless they\u2019re fully prepared to say each time that they just don\u2019t want voters \u2014\u00a0their audiences \u2014\u00a0to see him.<\/p>\n<p>Ironically, that would be the fairest thing they could do after tying themselves into this stupid knot.<\/p>\n<p>On the one hand, journalists in the corrupt media have declared their total and unwavering opposition to Donald Trump. On the other, they maintain that they\u2019re still committed to fairness and accuracy.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve stopped laughing, get ready. It\u2019s only going to get even more ridiculous.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">\n  Eddie Scarry is the D.C. columnist at The Federalist and author of &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Liberal-Misery-Hateful-Everything-Everyone\/dp\/1637584350\">Liberal Misery: How the Hateful Left Sucks Joy Out of Everything and Everyone<\/a>.&#8221;<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For former President Trump to revive any excitement for yet another presidential campaign \u2014 he reportedly wants his third run to feel like 2016 \u2014 he\u2019ll have to engage and<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1741333,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[547],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1741926","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-bongino-report"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1741926","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1741926"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1741926\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1741333"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1741926"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1741926"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1741926"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
