Trump bars CNN MSNBC Politico
10m
President Donald Trump barred reporters from CNN, MSNOW and Politico from White House access, saying he took the step because they published "fake news" about his administration.
A free press and an informed public are the strongest defenses against authoritarianism and fascists like Trump et al.
He's killing the election and has steadily gone after the press. Chip chip chip and we circle the drain.

Yes. It’s right to ask that the president be honest and fair.

The move could pose another First Amendment test for the Trump administration, which has faced legal challenges over efforts to restrict press access based on an outlet’s coverage.

The little-known 'the president doesn't like their coverage' exception to the First Amendment
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.
