Senior correspondent Donie O'Sullivan interviewed members of the so-called "new media" about their newfound White House access and fawning coverage.
CNN senior correspondent Donie O’Sullivan met with the MAGA influencers who have joined the White House press corps under President Donald Trump, asking them about their fawning and favorable coverage.
O’Sullivan interviewed several members of the so-called “new media,” including former boxing announcer Cara Castronuova, right-wing podcast co-host Natalie Winters and Brian Glenn — who is notably dating pro-Trump Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.).
“We’re all biased, right?” Winters, who co-hosts the “War Room” podcast with Trump’s former chief strategist Steve Bannon, told CNN in the segment released Wednesday. “We just wear our bias, which I think is a pejorative term to begin with, on our sleeves.”
The segment was filmed April 2, the same day Trump announced steep international tariffs that upended global markets. O’Sullivan noted that while legacy outlets at the White House covered the resulting fallout, Trump’s “new media” celebrated the news for their viewers.
“This is the first day where a sitting president put America’s working class first,” Winters told her “War Room” viewers at the time, as shown in the CNN footage. “And it’s a glorious day to be standing here at the White House and to be able to say that and bring that to you.”
