Breaking News: President Trump said that he was banning CNN, Politico and MS NOW from the White House
Bill Kristol :: @BillKristol Other news organizations should leave the White House. They can of course still cover the administration--almost none of their coverage depends on being there physically. But they shouldn't stay there, raising their hands in the briefing room, as if it's business as usual. + “Donald Trump is going to find himself in the same position again,” says former CNN chief White House correspondent Jim @Acosta , who clashed with the first Trump administration over press access. “No judge is going to say that you can throw news organizations out of the White House,” he told @MimiGeerges in response to President Trump’s new ban of three media outlets from WH grounds. + Stonekettle Station Jim Wright Trump: "I've banned Freedom of the Press!" Yes. He said that. And he's now banned CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House. Those are just the first, they won't be the last. Big surprise. Didn't have that one on the old fascism checklist. Totally couldn't see that coming from the Penthouse of Trump Tower about ten years back. No, Sir. Totally out of left field. No one could have predicted this. No one except every dictatorship for the last 1000 years. No one except those of us who've been sounding the alarm since the first time this asshole ran for president back in 1992 under Ross Perot's tiny high-pitched libertarian banner of technological fascism. It's bitterly hilarious to me that America is suddenly all, wait, what? He's banning Freedom of the Press???! but but but... And no one is more surprised and outraged than The Press itself. Hilarious. That's the very definition of irony. They used to teach that in Journalism School, but those were different days. This would be the same Press who have done nothing but carry water for this goddammed fascist since the 1970s. Trump is almost literally a creation of the American Press. They can't get enough of him. He's their monster, lurching around the countryside and tearing the limbs off the peasants.…
