Former President Barack Obama excoriated President Trump’s shocking ban of three media outlets from White House access — but glossed over his own history of trying to block Fox News from covering him. Last Friday, Trump ignited a First Amendment firestorm by announcing a ban on CNN, Politico, and MS Now from accessing the White House to cover his administration, citing their “negative” coverage of him, a move that Obama panned. “My imagination could not foresee some of the stuff that is going on right now,” Obama said during a discussion at Colgate University.
