Trump Bans CNN, MS NOW, and Politico From White House Over Coverage Dispute
US President Donald Trump announced an immediate ban on CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House, accusing them of repeatedly publishing "fake news" and unfavorable coverage. Trump warned that other media outlets could face similar restrictions. The White House Correspondents' Association and press freedom advocates condemned the move as a threat to free press and First Amendment rights. Following the announcement, MS NOW and CNN journalists were reportedly denied access to the White House grounds, while the exact scope and legal basis of the ban remain unclear.
