John Kelly blocking Breitbart, Daily Caller articles from reaching Donald Trump: Report (THIS DOES NOT SOUND GOOD. LEFT-WING FOX NEWS IS THE MOST CONSERVATIVE NEWS THE PRESIDENT HAS ACCESS TO. EVERYBODY ON THERE EXCEPT FOR A COUPLE ARE SAYING HOW THE WALL IS NOT IMPORTANT TO AMERICANS. SCARY.) Part of larger effort to ensure president doesn’t get information that hasn’t been ‘vetted’ washingtontimes.com In this July 31, 2017 photo, President Donald Trump talks with new White House Chief of Staff John Kelly after he was privately sworn in during a ceremony in the Oval Office with President Donald Trump in Washington.

Hardly one month into his tenure as Mr. Trump’s latest chief of staff, Mr. Kelly has made a noticeable impact on the president by reducing the number of right-wing news articles making their way to the oval office, The Times reported Friday. “ Mr. Trump does not have a web browser on his phone, and does not use a laptop, so he was dependent on aides like Stephen K. Bannon, his former chief strategist, to hand-deliver printouts of articles from conservative media outlets,” the Times reported. “Now Mr. Kelly has thinned out his package of printouts so much that Mr. Trump plaintively asked a friend recently where The Daily Caller and Breitbart were,” conservative websites typically supportive of the administration and its policies, the report said. Mr. Trump’s chief of staff hasn’t entirely curbed conservative news from reaching the president, however. “ Mr. Kelly cannot stop Mr. Trump from binge-watching Fox News, which aides describe as the president’s primary source of information gathering,” according to The Times. The president appeared to respond to The Times report Friday, tweeting: “General John Kelly is doing a great job as Chief of Staff.”
