Republicans Refuse To Talk To Any Mainstream Media
NPR finally woke up.
By John Amato — August 8, 2022


NPR is finally recognizing that the extremist MAGA cult candidates are refusing to engage with any form of media that asks real questions.

Danielle Kurtzleben wrote about difficulties speaking with Republicans on the campaign trail.

However, they are also a part of a trend of Republican candidates ignoring or actively avoiding legacy media — particularly national outlets.

The phenomenon is impossible to quantify, but many Republican candidates are showing that they don't want – or need – to get their messages out via legacy media outlets. That can reduce the scrutiny they face while running for public office, hampering voters' ability to make informed choices.

A large group of reporters was kept out of a rally this spring for Republican gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano in Pennsylvania.

Here's a video of a former NRO and now CBS reporter, Robert Costas, being bullied and refused entry into Republican gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano's event in Pennsylvania over the weekend.

1. They are snowflakes and know they have better outlets to spread their agendas

Using other methods to spew their lies, misinformation, disinformation. They don't need the corporate media.

But this same media should report and discuss why these Candidates choose not to be exposed by the national media.

4. It's a long time adage in the news biz

When a source won't talk to you about the story you're doing, that's the story. Let them complain about it, but their refusal is on the record.

5. They refuse debates, interviews, and they don't take follow-ups.

They do, however, seem to dominate the Sunday News shows.

7. That strange fact is why I stopped watching the Sunday "News" shows.

8. Me, too. The GOP gets their message out, the Democrats get bashed.

It's about as balanced as Hannity-Colmes.

6. Why do they need to

when the MSM uses their narratives and does their work for them?
