Networks Play Follow the Leader Out of White House in Hyper Hissy Fit Over BansThree days ago, freedom of speech came to an end.
Donald Trump kilt it.
Or you would have thought he did from the uproar, when all he in fact did was tell a few rude and obnoxious guests that they and their brand of targeted journalisming were no longer welcome at the house he occupies while he has legal residence there.
CNN, MS-NOW, and Politico no longer had access to the Oval Office.
ZOMG DEMOCRACY IS DEAD
The meltdown over the abrupt evictions was pretty hilarious in light of the amnesia on display amidst all of the cries of 'HOW DARE HE?!' and 'Freedom of speech is dead!' and the sanctimonious reminiscing of one of the worst thin-skinned censorship offenders who ever held the office.
From the not-so-far back machine:

Obama, Yesterday: "I'm trying to think what would've happened if I had said, Fox News, you're out of here. It's unimaginable!"
Obama Admin 2009: Attempts to boot Fox News from pool coverage.
Obama: "If media (Fox News) is operating basically as a talk radio format, then that's one thing. And if it's operating as a news outlet, then that's another."
"David Axelrod argued Fox News is not a real news organization..."
Axelrod to Stephanopoulos: "And the bigger thing is that other news organizations like yours ought not to treat them that way."
"And today, the White House took its first concrete step in that direction...the administration specified that all members of the pool were welcome, except Fox News..."
He knows he will avoid any serious media pushback on flat-out revisionist history like this, because the Democrat allied media doesn't like to question or criticize Barack Obama.
There are several videos of Democrat stooge boot-lickers explaining why that was "fair and reasonable" which were and still are hilarious from the Pravda left-tards.
