Politics donald trump dr. oz media ban
Dr Oz tried to explain why Trump banning media outlets isn’t a First Amendment violation and immediately made the case for why it is
The White House has stopped admitting the media inside. Well, some of the media.
As of this week, MS NOW, CNN and Politico have been barred from entering the White House and covering Donald Trump.
As much as that might sound like a relief, it is also a clear violation of the First Amendment to the Constitution.
Trump is saying the quiet part out loud. He doesn’t want to deal with anyone who might dare question or criticize his decision making.

It’s a scary thought. One that should not be supported. And yet, Trump’s cronies are falling right in line.
Most notably, his Administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services says the ban is totally fine. Don’t worry about a thing.
Q: Don’t you think that Trump banning media outlets from the White House is a violation of the First Amendment?
Dr Oz: He doesn’t ban them. He just doesn’t want them around him. pic.twitter.com/6b58F923Q0

Dr. Oz is a former TV doctor who is now making life-altering health decisions about millions of Americans. He is pretty much at the top of the list of people who should be questioned.
His word salad response to banning a free press just brought up more questions than it answered.

Oprah owes America a big apology for giving us Dr Oz https://t.co/j4s1gDUgAg

This guy continues to embarrass himself. He was better when he played TV doctor and sold vitamins.

Oh, I see the difference. Trump doesn’t ban CNN, MS Now and Politico from the White House. He just doesn’t allow them in the White House. https://t.co/mI1skdNOC0

Dr Oz is a liar, Trump absolutely banned the news, as was found out today when he has their press passes confiscated by security. Oz lies when his lips move
