A boycott of the White House press pool by the major networks deprives Trump of the oxygen of screen time... He had to rely on NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani to get on air, not at his own White House but as a guest at Gracie Mansion in the heart of liberal America. #USA www.nytimes.com/2026/09/21/u...

A boycott of the White House press pool by the major networks deprives the president of the oxygen of screen time. But he is still finding ways to get on the air.

Maybe Trump banned the media so they wouldn't televise him at campaign events

And giving us a MUCH needed break from having to see or hear him every waking moment! 🥳🫣🥳
A huge thank you to CNN, MS NOW, Politico, ABC News, CBS News, NBC News, Fox News, PBS News, NPR, The New York Times, The Washington Post, HuffPost, the Associated Press, Reuters, Getty Images, and AFP for standing together in defense of a free press.

On the blog, I briefly explain why the lawsuit by CNN, MS NOW, and Politico should succeed. I then note that access to the White House is not crucial to reporting on the administration but that the symbolic blow to press freedom is worth contesting, as succumbing to bullying invites more bullying. 👇
Trump's Ban on CNN, Politico, and MS NOW is Plainly Unconstitutional: Is it Also Important?
On Friday of last week, President Trump announced via Truth Social that he was "banning . . . CNN, MS NOW . . . and Politico . . . from the ...

Pathetic US president. SHAME.
First, Trump banned independent news from the White House.
Now, he's launching what is quite literally state-run TV to try drowning out the fact that he and his corrupt administration are failing the American people.
This is truly autocratic behavior from a failed President.

The press is his megaphone.
Turn it off.

The solidarity of the media in response to Trump reveals a fundamental truth: The most successful way to respond to a megalomaniac like him is to unite against him.
It's also apparently, at least in this instance, one of the better ways to silence his bloviating.

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

Firstly, it is highly unusual to see any solidarity in MSM, let alone US corporate media. They might sense a weakness here. With midterms coming up and Trump's disapproval ratings worsen, the GOP needs to reach non-Trump loyalists through the usual channels. They won't be watching Trump TV.

Could this be a turning point in the anti-MSM politics trend? Or is it just be an eddy in the ebbing of mainstream media political power? Seems to me that Trump's usual attempts to bypass and subvert the usual channels might not work this time. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
