President Trump is on a roll!
Trump on Thursday ordered the General Services Administration (GSA) to cancel “every single media contract” funded by the agency.
Contracts for Politico, BBC, Bloomberg and Politico Pro were canceled. Politico Pro costs $10,000 per year!
Axios reported:
The White House has directed the General Services Administration to terminate “every single media contract” expensed by the agency, according to an email obtained by Axios.
What they’re saying: “GSA team, please do two things,” a Trump administration official wrote:
Pull all contracts for Politico, BBC, E&E (Politico sub) and Bloomberg
Pull all media contracts for just GSA – cancel every single media contract today for GSA only.
Why it matters: President Trump is targeting the federal government’s media contracts after Elon Musk and his allies discovered millions of dollars in agency subscriptions to Politico Pro, a policy tracking service widely used in Washington.
The fake news media took a hit this week.
