President Trump ripped “one sided” and “unfair” media coverage, saying it should be tested in courts, The Hill reports.

Said Trump: “A REAL scandal is the one sided coverage, hour by hour, of networks like NBC & Democrat spin machines like Saturday Night Live.”

He added: lIt is all nothing less than unfair news coverage and Dem commercials. Should be tested in courts, can’t be legal? Only defame & belittle! Collusion?”

The Weekly Standard, the magazine that espouses traditional conservatism and which has remained deeply critical of President Trump, will shutter after 23 years, Clarity Media Group, the owner of its publisher announced Friday morning, CNN reports.

It will publish its final issue on December 17.

Federal prosecutors said in a filing that the National Enquirer admitted to “working in concert” with the Trump campaign to pay off a woman who said she had an affair with Mr. Trump in order to squash her story, CBS News reports.

The company “admitted that its principal purpose in making the payment was to suppress the woman’s story so as to prevent it from influencing the election.”

“The fate of The Weekly Standard, the conservative magazine that has staked out a position as a publication on the right still critical of President Trump, is uncertain, Editor-in-Chief Stephen Hayes told staff in a series of phone calls Tuesday,” CNN reports.

While panel shout-fests are nothing new at CNN, this exchange between Scott Jennings and Max Boot is really something.

“Former EPA administrator Scott Pruitt was clearly taken aback last year when occasional Fox & Friends fill-in host Ed Henry grilled him about a number of ethical scandals facing his administration,” the Daily Beast reports.

“And Pruitt had a good reason to be surprised. In past interviews with President Trump’s favorite cable news show, the then-EPA chief’s team chose the topics for interviews, and knew the questions in advance. In one instance, according to emails revealed in a Freedom of Information Act request submitted by the Sierra Club and reviewed by The Daily Beast, Pruitt’s team even approved part of the show’s script.”

‘Morning Joe’ co-hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough married Saturday evening in a “secret” ceremony at the National Archives in Washington D.C. “in front of the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights,” Vanity Fair reports.

“Part of the popularity of the Scarzinski relationship derives from the fact that, despite their prominent roles as hosts of perhaps the most influential news program in American politics, their romance has been handled with militant discretion… This discipline has lent the duo an unexpected celebrity air, rendering them a sort of Branjelina of the political-media in-crowd—a credential more or less certified when Donald Trump offered to have them married at the White House during a visit in 2017. They declined the offer.”

President Trump celebrated the White House Correspondents’ Association’s decision to have biographer Ron Chernow headline this year’s dinner after “so-called comedian Michelle Wolf bombed so badly last year,”  USA Today reports.

To which Wolf replied: “I bet you’d be on my side if I had killed a journalist.”

The White House has restored the press credentials of CNN’s chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta, and as a result, CNN will drop its lawsuit against the Trump administration, CBS News reports.

CNN had requested an emergency court hearing earlier today, saying the White House warned it could revoke Acosta’s press pass again at the end of the month.

“I think the press loves him. All day on TV — and I don’t even watch TV, except sports. But he says somebody had a horse face — all day we hear about that.”

The White House Correspondents’ Association announced that author Ron Chernow will be the featured speaker at next year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner on April 27, Axios reports.

A federal judge granted CNN’s request for a court order that would temporarily reinstate network correspondent Jim Acosta’s White House press pass, which had been suspended indefinitely in the wake of a fiery exchange between the reporter and President Trump a week earlier, CNBC reports.

Axios: “In his ruling, Judge Timothy Kelly is setting a precedent that future White House administrations and other elected officials need clear evidence of a security threat or operational burden created by reporters’ actions in order to have the justification to revoke a press pass.”
