Well this is confusing. The page linked above has "hours after access was restored, MS NOW and CNN journalists were blocked from covering a Thursday night event with President Xi Jinping at the White House’s North Portico."

But if things are back to normal, that's good.
Until the next illegal move by Trump.

No totalitarians can be trusted, not just communists. I think that's obvious.

Now they know their credentials cannot be removed for writing negative stories on the current administration, those organizations are free to write whatever they want without fear of repercussions.  One would think they would take advantage of their new freedom to write what they really feel, in order to save their market share, which has swooned.  Their coverage today is not noticeably different than before.  Ben would not one think those news outlets would start to write negative stories now that they are free to do so?  Very puzzling.


Like I say, back to normal. For now.
If their coverage is not noticeably different than before, you can be sure that Trump still doesn't like it. He's still trying to sue several news outlets, including the BBC.

One encouraging sign in all these nonsensical and dangerous events is that even his own supporters are starting to turn against him, apparently. Next month should be 'interesting'.
