Trump ain't special in that regard.
Major networks have long opted to not cover presidential addresses they considered to be thinly veiled political rallies or just not particularly newsworthy. They did that exact same thing to Obama and Biden too.
We all know that it's unconstitutional as hell for him to ban specific outlets because of their viewpoint, whether you're keen to admit it or not.
How did you feel about your President Trump being banned from Twitter, facebook and other social media platforms? I guessing you were fine and dandy with it?
Are any of those spaces new gathering organizations? Who was the Twitter and Facebook pool reporter?
Well, one could argue yes as many news organizations and commentators, journalists…etc. use these sites and more to get their information out.
You seem okay with one certain person being silenced but not others? Interesting this is.
