Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime destroyed freedom of the press and strictly censored all media in Germany starting in 1933. We know how it began. Hopefully, enough Americans remember how it ended.

Does NO ONE see that Trump’s mental ability has declined? Why are no journalists questioning his cognitive state??? This is unacceptable. If the fire is too hot, then close your presses down.

From 50 stenographers, you can kick out 49 and still get a faithful account of what was said. Since none of you push back on his neverending tsunami of bullshit and lies, or back up your colleagues when he answers a substantive question with “fake news and you’re ugly,” nothing of value was lost.

I assume you are going to pull your journalists from the pool in solidarity with these journalists and in protest at this attack on the first amendment? Or does democracy actually die with burying your head in the sand?

Long-running protocol? "Only a free and unrestrained press can effectively expose deception in government. And paramount among the responsibilities of a free press is the duty to prevent any part of the government from deceiving the people...." Supreme Court justice Hugo Black, 1971.

How about this. You ALL stop covering him. All he does is lie. You do not need ACCESS. It's just pathetic there are still news outlets who parrot his lies without fail.

It is obviously wrong that he is doing this, but I’m not sure much is lost. The White House is a source of more misinformation than news.

A veil of secrecy is hiding Trump’s White House visitor logs; and for good reason; the logs would show how many times under age girls are being admitted into the White House for Trump's benefit. - @CNN
