The duty and power of the media

(Kaieteur News) – CNN, MS Now, and Politico enraged. A broadside was their presidential; gift. Banned from the White House pool. In Moscow, Pyongyang, Beijing, that’s normal. Not in America’s Washington. To the courts this has gone. A test to determine the substance and resilience of the First Amendment.

CNN, MS Now, and Politico drew an impressive following. Storied names such as ABC, NBC, and CBS would have none of it. They refused to abandon three sister entities. Rejected waiting to see how the wind blows. Will not be a party opening themselves to be next in line. Picked off, at will, should they agitate America’s Caesar. They are boycotting the White House pool. Mr. Trump can speak to himself; enjoy the echo.
