Was interviewed for this piece about "Trump TV" in @fastcompany.com www.fastcompany.com/91611853/tru...

Trump loves good ratings. He won't find them on 'Trump TV'

A just-launched YouTube channel that shows nothing but 24/7 Trump clips is having trouble attracting viewers.

On the very day that Trump hosts Xi at the White House, we're talking about him denying members of our free press access to cover it.

Xi must love it.

He gets to watch an American president generate headlines over one of the freedoms that has traditionally distinguished our system from his.

No update on White House position on CNN placement in the press pool. Media maintains position of solidarity - no CNN, no pool coverage.

If the goal was to inform the American people on actions & impact of President on US, they could do a much better job if they did not prioritize his steady stream of lies & hate. Ending access to White House would be the best thing that ever happened to journalism of covering the presidency.

"CNN reporter Betsy Klein was allowed to reenter the White House on Thursday. She was previously denied access despite multiple attempts to enter the complex on Thursday morning."

An open question remains: White House position on CNN etc in press pool.

Phew! I was so sad & worried & confused for the few days when those intrepid "journalists" were unable to drink (and amplify) Trump's firehose of lies & hate, and forced to possible consider real reporting on what Trump is doing. So thankful that nightmare is behind US <sarcasm emoji>

I think the media needs to do some hard reflection on why we libs are just chuckling at their discomfiture. They helped put Trump back in office, knowing there would be vile chaos, and thinking we'd flock to them for coverage. Nope. I'd much rather watch sports and documentaries.
