I agree with you. At the same time, I don't see how anyone can say that the public is starved for information. if anything there is too much. If the NYT and CNN ceased to exist, I doubt they would be missed.

Personally, I think there is a difference between snubbing certain journalists and censoring them. They are still free to print and say whatever they want.

You could be right. It is also true that some journalists have publicly vowed to oppose the Trump administration. Perhaps his fear is that they will twist and distort his words and deeds. (Something they have already done.) Why should he give them ammunition to do so?

Anyway, that's pretty much all I have to say on the topic.
