So, Fox is the first to go right?

Perhaps for other reasons:

Wall Street Journal fires back at Trump over Epstein birthday letter lawsuit: 'The article is true'

Lawyers for Rupert Murdoch and publishers call president's lawsuit 'an affront to the First Amendment'

Murdoch also owns Fox.

I'll assume the current Supreme Court majority will find some reason to rationalize this, if it ever gets to that point.

If you are wondering why CBS isn't on this list well they just ushered in a new CEO and she is a Trumpite.

Bari Weiss was an op-ed and book review editor at The Wall Street Journal from 2013 to 2017, and an op-ed staff editor and writer on culture and politics at The New York Times from 2017 to 2020. Since March 1, 2021, she has worked as a regular columnist for German daily newspaper Die Welt. Weiss founded the media company The Free Press (formerly Common Sense) and hosts the podcast Honestly.

Like zero experience in broadcast television but whatever. TV is dead.

Do you think he actually believes that?

It does not matter at all what Trump really believes.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 4 points 8 months ago

The only thing Donald Trump believes in is Donald Trump.

I know, but sometimes I wonder.

You think he remembers even saying it?
