6. Prior administrations did engage in a sort-of boxing match vs. the press, but F47's is a sideshow magic act for rubes

F47's set up a sleight-of-hand stage-magic/reality show where the front row seats are reserved for the coward press, too timid to honestly report on what they see and hear. When some Botox-riddled spokesfreak gets up there in front of them and waves around the imagery of a headless Biden administration issuing irresponsible EOs that must be summarily reversed, none of the cowards bother to ask what tricky shit they're hiding up their sleeves. The coward press has its marching orders and a schedule of consequences spelling out exactly what will happen to it and its credentials and broadcast licenses if it wanders off the approved "journalistic" path.
