I wouldn't be able to make videos like these if we didn't have free-flowing, balanced access to information.

On September eighteenth, President Trump banned CNN, MSNBC, and Politico from the White House in an egregiously anti-free speech move.

Thankfully, just yesterday, at time of recording, a judge ruled this unconstitutional and overturned the ban.

When I read this story on Ground News, I get the reassuring news that both sides of the political spectrum are covering it pretty evenly, but with subtly different messaging.

Left-leaning outlets are saying Trump had banned these news networks because they were fake news and fiction and lies.

Right-leaning outlets, meanwhile, vaguely note that the administration cited national security concerns for the ban.

Unfortunately, there's not really a reason to think Trump is done trying to censor the media.

In times like these, getting a full picture of the world's events is more than important.
