Axios reports:
The White House is sprinkling the traditional press corps with an array of MAGA-friendly journalists who dilute scrutiny, denigrate Democrats and ultimately flatter President Trump. As traditional media loses influence, the White House is giving increasing access to a growing cast of Trump-friendly reporters, podcasters and influencers who boost his narratives from inside the house.
ZeroHedge, a finance blog that U.S. intelligence accused of spreading Russian propaganda in 2022, was tapped for the “New Media” slot in the press pool last Thursday. Natalie Winters, the White House correspondent for Steve Bannon’s “War Room,” is all over the White House complex. Cara Castronuova, who works for an outlet run by Trump loyalist Mike Lindell, asked about Amy Coney Barrett’s position “against Jan. 6 hostages.”

Last month Glenn, who is Marjorie Taylor Green’s boyfriend, sparked international headlines when he demanded to know why Zelensky wasn’t wearing a suit in the Oval Office.

Cara Castronuova not only went onto Capitol grounds on Jan 6, she did not comply with police orders to leave. She’s easy to spot here in her shiny red coat and fur hat.

President Trump looks healthier than ever before,” Cara Castronuova, a correspondent for Lindell TV, asked at the end of the press briefing on Friday. “I’m sure everybody in this room could agree. Is he working out with Bobby Kennedy and is he eating less McDonald’s?” pic.twitter.com/NVgJZ8yLuG
