After the Trump administration excluded them from the White House, CNN, Politico, and MS NOW filed a lawsuit against it. On Friday, President Donald Trump announced the ban, claiming that the organisations had written “fiction or lies” about his team. On Saturday, the corporations claimed that their reporters were not allowed to enter the building.
They claimed they were taking legal action to “defend the principle that the government does not decide what the press reports” in a joint statement released on Monday. There may be a void as Trump travels to New York for the UN General Assembly because major US TV networks later declared they would halt their combined White House coverage of him.Courts have long interpreted the First Amendment’s prohibition on “abridging” press freedom to mean that the government cannot discriminate against the media based on the content of their coverage.
CNN, Politico, and MS NOW released the following statement: “The White House revoked our journalists’ credentials without notice or process because it objected to our reporting.”Press freedom and the public’s right to independent journalism free from government intervention are at risk if this goes unchecked.
