   If media organizations want to act like partisan propaganda machines for   
   the left, it’s past time Republicans start treating them as such.   
      
   Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s communications team gave a masterclass   
   performance on Tuesday on how GOP officials should respond to interview   
   requests from members of America’s corrupt, legacy media.   
      
   After receiving an inquiry from ABC’s “The View” for the Republican   
   governor to appear on the program, DeSantis Deputy Press Secretary Bryan   
   Griffin took to Twitter to explain the administration’s declining of the   
   offer by demonstrating the disingenuous nature of the request.   
      
   “[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?” Griffin asked. “Which 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?”   
      
   The examples documented by Griffin include remarks by Joy Behar, who in   
   reference to DeSantis’s bid to bar schools from forcibly masking young   
   students, called the governor a “negligent homicidal sociopath.”   
      
   “What is he doing? He’s risking the lives of children, children’s 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,”   
   Behar said.   
      
   Other statements cited by Griffin as evidence of open hostility towards   
   Florida’s Republican governor from the show’s hosts include comments   
   issued by Sunny Hostin, who recently referred to DeSantis as a “fascist   
   and a bigot” and has separately characterized his education policies as an   
   attack on “marginalized groups.”   
      
   “It started with CRT. Let’s remember that. If you start coming after those   
   — those are anti-history laws. Anti-black history laws really,” Hostin   
   said in February. “If you start coming after black people, who comes next?   
   The LGBTQ+ community, and then women and then other marginalized groups.”   
      
   DeSantis’s rejection of “The View” seemingly demonstrates an understanding   
   among some GOP politicians that corporate media talking heads aren’t   
   interested in interviewing Republicans, but interrogating them over why   
   they refuse to support the left’s 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   
   “win back [their] trust.”   
      
   “The 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 — and assuring   
   them he’d praise producers for inviting them and communicate his   
   displeasure if he doesn’t believe they are treated fairly,” the Washington   
   Free Beacon’s Eliana Johnson reported. “The charm offensive underscores   
   Licht’s effort to reverse the course set by his predecessor, Jeff Zucker,   
   who … 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—though it is now   
   par for the course.”   
      
   While it’s one thing for journalists to ask elected officials tough   
   questions, it’s quite another for those same individuals to feign   
   objectivity and berate Republicans with Democrat talking points and   
   “gotcha” questions aimed at granting the left’s 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’ 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’s past time Republicans start treating them as such.
