The Wall Street Journal's editorial board, no stranger to criticizing Trump during his second term, publicly questioned the point of his ban on CNN, Politico and MS NOW from White House grounds. A federal judge issued a temporary order pausing that ban while litigation continues, though the board noted banned outlets can still report on the administration without the cameras.

The board's closing line wondered whether Trump, who reportedly considered relocating the press corps out of the briefing room that was once a swimming pool, actually loves swimming or just loves being on television.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

When even the Journal's editorial page is asking why the cameras got banned, that is not exactly a fringe complaint anymore. A man who has spent decades chasing television attention picking a fight with television cameras is the kind of thing a neighbor would just shake his head at over the fence. The judge's pause on the ban suggests the courts had the same question the editorial board did.
