Is it "censorship"?

The daily press briefings have undertaken major changes in how they are presented to the American people.

They have recently forbid the networks and cable news from having any video of the questions and answers from the White House press spokesman, neither Sean Spicey or Sarah Huckabee.

They have been putting out an audio of the event, but not in real time. They can edit it if they wish, before the people get a chance to hear it.

Is that censorship?

Instead of getting our news from the White House spokespeople, we now get our news from the direct "tweets" of Donald Trump. Like a Third-World dictator, he tells us what we need to know.

How far can this go? What will be the next step in this process of censorship?
