Anon I woke up and started researching the same exact thing because I remembered another anon back on Tuesday evening dropping a bomb that the White House was getting pressure about violating ethics rules and 1A rights.
If one does a cursory search of violate ethics rules and 1A rights Jan 15 a whole bunch of Liberal blogs and fake news sites come up all directing pressure towards the Trump administration that if they proceeded with the "Fake News Awards" they would get sued….
IMHO this is what derailed the WH portion of the Fake News Awards "We" accomplished our mission beautifully :)
