I’m glad that the Trump administration barred a CNN reporter from a Rose Garden event last week after she’d asked the president some tough questions. The resounding media condemnation was a needed moment of press unity. From Fox News to MSNBC, everyone could agree that the White House had gone too far. It was a reminder that reporters are in this together and that they serve the people, not the whims of the president.

The Trump train continues on its dangerous track, using propaganda against America’s free press. CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins was serving as the official pool reporter for the White House press corps during an Oval Office photo-op. She asked about Russian President Vladimir Putin and Michael Cohen, two men who were high in the news cycle that day and surely high on President Trump’s mind. She did her job.
