"How to piss off a judge you appointed (and who issued a relatively modest ruling) in three easy steps."

Ironically, the White House Media ban should remind journalists to center American democracy - rather than the President.

Sure "access journalism" has its place, but when power is being consolidated in the Executive Branch as it is now, access journalism can reinforce autocratization.

I hope the White House's refusal to let these journalists in is just incompetence and not deliberate defiance of a court order. If the latter, we are in very dangerous waters regarding our democracy.

"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.

Federal judge: restore press access immediately, the ban is unconstitutional. Trump’s White House: seizes a Politico reporter’s credentials anyway and keeps Betsy Klein locked out. Courts don’t matter to men who think they’re kings. This is what fascism looks like up close
