Just watched Todd Blanche on ABC. He is a national embarassment as AG. He just said that its a national security issue if the press misreports what the administration does. He also said that the press needs to be fair and balanced.

The media is so fucking stupid. No wonder people dont have faith in our media. Trump says he is banning CNN, MSNOW and Politico. So what does CNN do? Show his live press conference. The right thing to do is say "Fine, we will stop cover anything about Trump and just the news"
