Quote:It's temporary and makes complete sense when trying to change or update policy. This is really nothing new for the White House to invoke. Obama controlled media releases quite regularly. The difference in this case, Trump is actually too transparent in his agenda and actions.

 

I really hope this is the case, and it is certainly a possibility.  The rogue social media accounts make it seem like the order was a little more permanent, though.  There have also been reports of scientific findings not being allowed to be released until approved by the Trump administration, which is a little unsettling.

 

Honestly, the fact that the administration and the media are saying two completely different things makes me very uneasy.  It's very easy to say that the media is out to get him, but I don't remember a time where there has been this much discrepancy between them.  It's like the media is reporting something and he's just saying, "No.  That's not true."  Very odd.
