Trump banning CNN raises questions about Biden’s cognitive functions

- by Jake Tapper
TAPPER: I would ask if you could convey to Trump to let CNN back in the pool. It was not okay when Obama tried to freeze Fox out. I don't think we want a world where presidents get to decide who covers them

WALTZ: We need fair, objective, & well-sourced reporting. I've been victim of this nonsense

Back online this morning and here is another update that was posted late last night. Fox News reporter Bill Melugin got Trump himself on the phone late last night to confirm that this policy, whatever it was (they’re calling it a miscommunication), was going to be overturned.

Trump's relentless dishonesty has become a central feature of US and world politics. Voters and members of Congress, allies and adversaries, CEOs and investors alike have had to try to figure out how to read a man whose words are so frequently not true.

I regret to inform you that the brief period of bravery from the press was very brief indeed.
The major networks are set to resume their collective television coverage of President Trump on Sunday, even though the White House blocked CNN from participating in the TV pool over the weekend, according to people briefed on the deliberations.
TV Networks to Resume Trump Coverage, Even as White House Excludes CNN
The White House TV pool went dark this past week amid a standoff between CNN and the president. Network leaders, however, believe an indefinite suspension may be untenable.

if you're outraged about the networks covering Trump despite @cnn.com being banned, as you should be, you also must be outraged at @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social for giving Trump free press coverage through their joint press conference when CNN was banned. Few on here are.

Trump's ousting @cnn.com from Air Force 1 was foreseeable, because a 2-1 panel of the DC Circuit let him do that to the AP, after it refused to switch to “Gulf of America” in its stylebook. But that was an “unpublished” stay order—not binding precedent. …
