On Thursday, several conservative podcasters were invited to the White House to participate in Podcast Row, an event meant to engage alternative media by granting them hours of unprecedented access to senior Trump Administration officials. The White House intends to make this a recurring event. Bringing in new media outlets has obviously been a priority of this administration and we will explore all options that allow us to reach as many Americans as possible, Kaelan Dorr, White House Deputy Communications Director, told The Verge. According to NewsNation correspondent Libbey Dean, administration attendees included Cabinet and Cabinet-level officials Lee Zeldin, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Linda McMahon, Scott Bessent, Russ Vought, as well as outgoing Counselor Alina Habba, who was recently tapped to serve as interim U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey. Online figures streaming from the room included Natalie Winters from Bannons War Room, Canadian YouTuber David Freiheit, and podcaster Breanna Morello. The new administration has made a point of engaging what they refer to as new media predominantly right-wing podcasters, streamers, and other online influencersEver since Donald Trump returned to the White House, the new administration has made a point of engaging what they refer to as new media predominantly right-wing podcasters, streamers, and other online influencers with the point of spreading their message to loyal audiences who are more than willing to listen to them for hours at a time. Back in January, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that one seat in the Brady Briefing Room would be dedicated to correspondents from non-legacy new media outlets, who could apply for a credential to attend press briefings. Over 10,000 people applied, according to a subsequent statement. While unusual, it was only one rotating seat for the entire world of right-wing podcasters and more the Podcast Row event is a significant step forward in expanding their access and proximity to the Trump White House.The event also served as a jab at the Washington press corps, who have become a piata for the Trump administration. In recent months, theyve revoked the Associated Presss press credentials after the wire service did not change the name of the Gulf of Mexico, leading to the AP suing the White House. The White House also announced that they would handpick outlets in the traveling press pool. Podcast Row is, implicitly, the next step in boxing them out. I bet you that the people in that room have more views than CNN and legacy media, Leavitt said in an X video touting the event, adding: Just saying.See More:

The latest Kindle Scribe is a far better value now that you can save on all three configurations.Unsurprisingly, Amazon is discounting a variety of e-readers during its Big Spring Sale, including its first color e-reader. But if you like to take notes while reading, theres only one Kindle that allows you to do so: the Kindle Scribe.

You can also pick up the 32GB and 64GB versions at Amazon for $339.99 ($80 off) and $364.99 ($85 off), respectively, or the last-gen Scribe for $264.99 ($75 off) if youre a Target Circle member.Overall, the Kindle Scribe offers a far better writing experience than it did when it first made its debut. Thats thanks to a plethora of new AI-powered features Amazon baked into the second-gen model, which are also available to first-gen Scribe owners. Notably, Amazon now lets you write directly on ebook pages and scribble notes in the margins, which makes for a more intuitive note-taking experience. The Scribe can also now summarize any notes you make in the built-in notebook, when connected to the internet, and refine your handwriting.In addition to its new note-taking capabilities, the 10.2-inch Scribe continues to provide an excellent reading experience. The latest model offers thinner bezels and a textured display, but is otherwise almost identical to its predecessor, with a sharp 300ppi display thats a pleasure to read on. It also retains an adjustable warm light for nighttime reading, which is a feature that many big-screen, note-taking ebook readers lack.Read our Kindle Scribe (2024) review.
