Trump's Press Ban: A Dubious Attempt at Suppressing Dissent The latest salvo in President Trump's ongoing battle with the press is nothing new, but it serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of unchecked executive power and the erosion of a free press.
The president's announcement that he's banning CNN, Politico, and MS NOW from the White House is a transparent attempt to intimidate and suppress dissenting voices, cloaked under the guise of "protecting" himself and his administration from what he claims is "fake news".
This move is predictable, given Trump's history with the press.
