Trump bans CNN, MS NOW and Politico...Yep, American fascism..

Posted by amazed gm on 9/18/2026, 6:52 pm

I'm cracking up but this isn't funny..
President Trump has suddenly, and without any reason given, banned CNN, MS NOW, and Politico, from the White House pool and from attending his press conferences.

😲🫢...but here's the question I keep asking: how is he able to do this? Aren't there rules, regulations, guardrails, etc to protect against such dictatorial moves? And why haven't other president's acted this way? Scary shit!!

Wow, Trump is actually implementing the ban..
The reporters from the banned networks were stopped from entering the White House and their badges & security papers were taken and confiscated by White House security personel..
WAT DA FORK IS GOING ON IN AMERICA?

And why are the rest of the press not showing solidarity with CNN, MSNow, and Politico? Scary!

they're suing President Trump.......BUT

Of course they'll win!.

yh--
MS NOW, CNN and Politico are suing President Donald Trump and other administration officials over a decision to ban the three news organizations from newsgathering at the White House...

Cool, this should be a really easy one, no doubt.

BUT, what is shocking is the lack of solidarity from other news networks. You'd think other legacy media would immediately boycott the White House ,& Trumps press conferences, but what we're getting are fluffy statements about "concern" etc. Very alarming and no wonder Trump feels emboldened to continue doing all kinds of fascist shit. Scary times indeed.

ok, now there's some solidarity among media...

Keep Hope Alive?

nyt--
Major Television networks on Monday agreed to suspend their pool coverage of President Trump after the White House refused to allow CNN to serve as a pool representative on Monday..

Trump's fascism & dictatorship is a thing right now ,- there's no disputing it!

In true dictatorship & fascistic style, Trumpkkk and his White House acolytes have launched their own TV network..

ap--
The White House launched what it is calling "TRUMP TV" on the heels of President Trump's ban on three media outlets from accessing the White House---but so far, it's lots of reruns...

I don't know whether to laugh or cry, but Trump's shit is getting scarier and to my mind not enough people seem to take these moves seriously, particularly legacy media. Sighhhhĥ
