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.

White House reinstates access for banned reporters

The reinstatement should mark the end of a broader press boycott that left the American public without key visual coverage of President Trump over the past few days.

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>

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
