3. Worth reading the whole thing

Lastly, your utter disdain for America’s free and open press is perhaps the biggest threat to our democracy of all. Your administration’s hinted at making drastic, unprecedented changes to the media’s access to information including limiting or eliminating daily White House briefings, the Saturday morning presidential address, press conferences and the press pool. You’ve also threatened to expand our libel laws which would allow you greater ability to sue reporters and media outlets who are critical of you and your administration.

This is what fascism smells like.


He refuses to answer questions from the media or allow anyone around him to do so; that's why he's denying them access.

It's as bad as we all thought it would be, and will likely get worse than we can imagine.
