Trump: "I am proud to announce that, effective immediately, I am banning Fake News CNN, MSNOW, and Politico ... from the White House as a result of their constant 'reporting' FAKE NEWS!"
I am proud to announce that, effective immediately, I am banning Fake News CNN, MSNOW (who recently changed their name from MSNBC due to lack of viewership and credibility!), and Politico (The recipients of an illegal and ridiculous $8 Million Dollar subscription, an All Time Record, directly from the United States Government, under Crooked Joe Biden, in order to keep them “alive.” Seems like corruption to me!), from the White House as a result of their constant “reporting” FAKE NEWS! Media Outlets shouldn’t be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES when they’re covering the President of the United States, the Trump Administration, or the United States of America. Other Fake News Media Outlets to follow. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

The little-known 'the president doesn't like their coverage' exception to the First Amendment
atrupar.com Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 3h
Q: You posted that you intend to ban CNN, Politico, and MS Now from the White House. Every president takes an oath to uphold the Constitution, which includes the First Amendment. How do you justify this?

TRUMP: Because they're fake news. There may be others to join them.

This is illegal. The president is not the CEO of the country nor the owner of the White House, a great institution owned by the American public.

Punishing media for dissent excretes on American values and our Constitution. It sullies all of us, every Conservative and every Liberal.

Trump says he's banning CNN, MSNow & Politico from the White House.

If he goes through w/ this, the WH press corps needs to boycott.

Fox too

No more of the correspondents association's white-tablecloth, gladhanding bullshit.

Pentagon reporters showed they don't need in-house access. You can too.

@jaketapper.bsky.social wrote a book about Biden while Trump was president this time. He texted with his bestie Trump like they were a couple of teenagers gossiping. And all he got for that was getting his network banned from the White House.
