“For President Trump, this is the tree-falls-in-the-forest moment of his administration. If the most television-addicted president in history suddenly finds the cameras missing, is he really still president? Not the kind he has been, anyway,” the New York Times reports.

“Mr. Trump, for whom television is better than any narcotic, finds himself for the first time at least partially deprived of the major networks that have covered nearly every movement and utterance he has made for more than a decade. No longer can he snap his fingers and appear live in millions of homes. No longer does he totally dominate the airwaves.”

Deadline: Networks halt TV pool coverage of Trump in protest of president’s ban on CNN.

“President Trump has repeatedly discussed kicking journalists out of the White House, where they have worked for decades, and moving them to a nearby building, according to current and former administration officials,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“The president raised the matter as recently as last month, as his frustrations with media coverage of his second term escalated, one of the officials said. Some of Trump’s advisers have cautioned against the move, the people said.”

“Donald Trump’s ban on CNN seems to already be taking on water,” The Wrap reports.

“The news organization has already been credentialed to cover one of the First Lady’s events at the United Nations just days after the president announced a White House ban on them, MS NOW and Politico.”
