The mainstream press should boycott Trump’s free form fascism explorations until the AP’s access is restored
By 
The AP continues to be barred from Trump’s press events because it won’t refer to the “Gulf of America”:
The White House said Wednesday that news organizations that refuse to use President Donald Trump’s new name for the Gulf of Mexico were telling “lies” and insisted it would continue to bar Associated Press journalists from presidential events.
Trump has decreed that the international body of water — which borders Mexico, the United States and other nations — be called the Gulf of America. In its influential Stylebook, the AP said it would continue to use Gulf of Mexico, while also noting Trump’s decision, to ensure that names of geographical features are recognizable around the world.
The White House’s outright attempt at regulating language used by independent media — and the punitive measures attached to it — mark a sharp escalation in Trump’s often fraught dealings with news organizations.
The next step should be obvious: every actual news outlet should boycott’s Trump’s alt-right improvs (or the sessions where he sundowns while a dork who does more speed than Bob Dylan in 1965 rambles almost as incoherently) until the AP’s access is restored. Trump needs the press a lot more than it needs him — he wants these events to be covered — and the downside is non-existent:
If the legitimate press just permanently stopped attending these events and were replaced by propaganda outlets, that would be both optically clarifying and improve actual journalism.

Needless to say, I think the route chosen is much more likely to be the collaboraiton/total capitulation we’ve already seen from big tech.
