The regime media, and no one else, is up in arms over the fact that Donald Trump refuses to give special White House access to CNN, Politico, and MSNOW. Of course, the hyperventilation of the journalismists brings to mind the Shakespeare quote: “It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” And I do mean signifying nothing. No one cares. I suggest we run my Kurt Schlichter Give A Damn Challenge™ – go out and find 100 people, normal people out on the street, and ask them what they think of what happened with the White House press corps last week. Of them, 99 will shrug and look at you like you’re stupid, while the remaining one will have an opinion, but will also reek of oaky box Chardonnay and live with a bunch of cats.

Now, was this controversy just Donald Trump going off on another tangent, randomly picking a fight that’s good for a week of breathless news coverage, or was this a brilliant four-dimensional chess move where Trump cleared stories about gas prices and data centers off the front pages in the run-up to the midterms? Who knows? More importantly, who cares?

You shouldn’t. This whole frenzy of faux outrage about how Donald Trump is throwing the entire First Amendment into the furnace because he’s not being nice to a bunch of regime media outlets that do nothing but push Democrat propaganda is illustrative of how our opponents work. It also illustrates how some of our True Conservative™ allies work. I know you’ll be just as shocked as I was to find that they took an almost orgasmic pleasure in being upset with Donald Trump again. Well, they have to get their action somewhere; it’s certainly not going to be from other human beings.

Put the merits of this decision by Donald Trump aside for a moment. You can think that, in the abstract, it’s a good thing or a bad thing to limit regime media access because they are fake news propagandists – maybe some court will rule for them in their inevitable lawsuit – but that’s not the key point. The key point is you don’t have to care. You get to choose what you’re upset about. It’s all up to you. You have limited bandwidth for what you can care about in your life. You have a set time on this planet, and it is up to you how you spend each and every minute of it. Let me tell you how I see it. I am not going to spend even a second, not even a fraction of a second, intervening on........
