So, for example, excluding the Associated Press from the White House press pool wasn’t just about punishing the Associated Press for its editorial choices. It was about sending a chilling message to other news organizations who might choose to defy Trump in some way or other. And indeed last night a Trump aide posted that the New York Times’s Peter Baker would be excluded from the pool too, for the temerity of raising concerns about the White House’s media restrictions.
