Internet Censorship.

Except this administration has already barred BBC, CNN, and others from multiple press functions so far.

No worries though, I don't actually expect you to care.

that's cuz they were out of line and he had every right to do so, still, he stopped short of banning them permanently, de platforming or taking away their license no?

"well when Trump banned people for speaking it was totally different! he didn't agree with what they were saying. See?"

I don't know what de platforming means, really, never mind knowing how one would do it.

CNN doesn't have nor need a license.

Neither does the BBC.

I guess the guy who drives the camera crew around needs a drivers license; probably a commercial class one.

If byco was still around he could corroborate this; he used to get driven around in the CNN van.

I thought he banned or uninvited specific reporters, not entire networks. Is that not correct?

It was some chick from CNN. Obviously CNN had access to all the information that everybody else did.

Fox News to its credit shared in the criticism of the ban of CNN, or I guess I should the one reporter, as they should have.

I posted a link of FOXNews’s response Somewhere on one of these threads.

EDIT: Here is again. The reporter was Kaitlin Collins.

There was a much more appropriate time and place for their out of line questions and he didn't ban anyone just let them know it was inappropriate and not to come back to the next one while they think about how inappropriate it was but I agree he could have handled it better, he should have just ignored her then ripped her a new one at the next standard opportunity. But all in all you are correct, Trump was wrong to do ban her even for a day or one event.

Does the White House run a socialist sociall media site it could de platform CNN and BBC from? I thought those TV networks.

should they have? I think if there was a FOX news personality who treated Obama and that Jay Carney chick the way Jim Acosta treats Trump and Sanders, the rest of the media would be up in arms about his/her lack of decorum, respect for the office, racism, etc, etc, etc. And if that individual was uninvited to a couple of events, they'd be applauding the move - probably even suggesting it in their coverage of it. I don't know what this CNN chick did but I'd have no issue whatsoever if the White House told CNN to send someone else because Acosta's not welcome - that doesn't seem to anything resembling stifling the freedom of the press.

Okay well if you want you can contact Fox News and encourage them to rescind their support of CNN?s criticism of the White House.

probably not worth the effort particularly since I don't really care what FOX News or anyone else thinks about CNN. I don't think they should have but I don't really care that much that they did.

I just think it's a bit much to equate barring a reporter from a White House press event or even a permanent ban with suppression of a free press. this whole bit about Trump being an authoritarian dictator and comparing a ban to what Putin does (actually kill journalists) is pure paranoia and Trump derangement syndrome in the extreme.

Does CNN ever say or in for that Trump is an authority and dictator? Maybe they do, I also don?t watch CNN that much either.

I know there are some people who sort of say order in for that but just the fact that they can do it is proof of the otherwise. Also Trump has lost a lot of court cases, most authority and dictators don?t do that.

Judge Rules Against Alex Jones and Infowars in Sandy Hook Lawsuit

A Texas judge denied the motion by the conspiracy theorist Alex Jones to dismiss a defamation lawsuit brought against him and his Infowars operation by the parents of a Sandy Hook shooting victim, in a ruling released on Thursday.

The lawsuit was filed in state district court in Austin by Veronique De La Rosa and Leonard Pozner, parents of Noah Pozner, who was 6 years old when he was killed in the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.

On his radio broadcast and in videos, Mr. Jones for years spread bogus claims that the shooting was a “false flag,” an event staged by the government as part of an effort to confiscate Americans’ firearms, and that the parents of the children killed were “crisis actors.”

After Mr. Pozner succeeded in getting an Infowars video casting doubt on the shooting removed from YouTube, Mr. Jones showed his audience Mr. Pozner’s personal information and maps to addresses associated with his family, court documents say. Mr. Jones also falsely accused Ms. De La Rosa of participating in a faked interview with Anderson Cooper of CNN after the shooting, according to court documents.

Subsequent death threats and harassment have forced the Pozner family to move seven times. They currently live in hiding.
