Right-wing Trump ally demands all press and media be banned from White House — except one
Far-right commentator and ally of Donald Trump, Hugh Hewitt, is telling the incoming administration that they should bar all media from the White House except Fox News.
Speaking to the conservative Bethany Mandel on Monday, Hewitt cheered Peter Doocy, the White House correspondent for Fox News, as the only person who should remain. The Daily Caller also has a White House correspondent.
"They are obviously of no use to the country," said Hewitt.
The press never told the country that President Joe Biden was "incompetent," and thus, they can't be trusted, he said. The right has spent the past year attacking Biden as being too old to be president and alleging with little or no evidence he is incapacitated.

Mandel agreed, saying the media "failed" after years of claiming they should be respected. The right has been a target of the right for decades, particularly by Trump.
Hewitt claims that all top media outlets like ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, The New York Times, and The Washington Post, saying they refused to call out Biden's administration for covering up that the president was somehow mentally disabled. The report he referenced came from the Wall Street Journal last week, claiming that Biden had too many gatekeepers and delegated duties, which alleges his decline.
According to that report, Hewitt questioned, "Is there any way that you can say anything that any of them say?"
Hewitt went on to lambast Biden for removing 37 people from death row. They will now serve life sentences without the possibility of parole.
