When Only Praises can be Sung

The free press, I guess you know what that is
Let me tell you what it isn't
It isn't when something's happening
And you're not allowed to be present

The Associated Press
Has been banned from the White House
Reuters and HuffPost also can't come
Unless they sneak in quite as a mouse

Once an independent group
Decided who was in the press pool
But when Trump took office
He snapped away that jewel

He now decides who comes and goes
And guards more carefully
And if you ask hard questions
He responds like a big bully

The free press isn't free
When you have to watch your tongue
No, the free press will disappear
If only praises can be sung
