so it looks like trump is at it again, this time leaving cnn off the travel pool for his recent trip to tennessee and honestly this just shows how he treats the media like a toy he can control, which is pretty concerning for anyone who cares about free press and accountability, right? it’s like he’s trying to create this bubble where only his favorite outlets get to play in the sandbox while others are left out in the cold and this isn’t just about cnn, it’s about the principle of a free press being able to cover the president without being sidelined, it’s like he wants to rewrite the rules of engagement to fit his narrative and that’s dangerous, especially when we’re living in a time where facts are already under siege, and we need all the eyes on the issues to hold leaders accountable. if we let trump dictate who gets to report on him, we’re basically giving him a free pass to operate without scrutiny, which is like handing the keys to the kingdom to a kid who just wants to play king without any checks and balances, and that should worry everyone who cares about democracy. if we want to keep the lights on in our democratic system, we have to push back against these kinds of moves that undermine the very foundation of a free society. we need to stand up for the press, because when they’re silenced, we’re all in trouble. https://www.facebook.com/aviationgallerys/posts/cnn-left-off-air-force-one-for-trumps-tennessee-tripthe-white-house-has-left-cnn/1132895642426049/
