Well, you're just wrong on that front given the examples shown

The examples given are about Trump limiting access for news agencies to the government, and trying to bully big news orgs. How would those things prevent someone writing a story about a public website disappearing?

Don't get me wrong, what he's doing is bad for press freedom and will have a chilling effect on the more complicated stories that need more journalistic input and explanation to gain traction and public understanding, but as I said "this kind of story" isn't exactly complicated and saying "stories like this will disappear" is just not realistic.

You seriously wrote that first paragraph and can't see what the other person is saying?

I think it's hyperbolic, that's the whole point of my first comment
