Narrator: Look at him there. Gesticulating. Talking. Maybe even shouting. But we can't hear him. Narrator: He banned CNN, MSNOW, and Politico from the White House. Took away their journalists' passes. Refused to let them do their jobs. And, amazingly, the other TV outlets in the pool stopped showing up in solidarity with their colleagues. Narrator: People easily forget the President of the United States may be the most powerful office in the world, but only so long as other people go along with it.

NEW COMIC TWO OR THREE TIMES A WEEK, OR WHEN THE MOOD STRIKES

The American press has, for most of Trump's bifurcated regime, been spineless and subservient. You might even say most of them are shameless bootlickers. But it turns out they can be pushed into action. All it took was for three of them -- CNN, MSNOW, and Politico -- to be banned by Trump from covering the regime from inside the White House. At long last ABC, CBS, NBC, and even Fox News found a little bit of backbone to stand up to the Propagandist-in-Chief and stage a blackout of White House coverage, leading to the amusing pantomime of presidential events MOS (without sound). I think we could all get used to not having to hear his fucking voice.
