KARL: Do you support Trump banning news organizations because he doesn't like what they're reporting?
SCALISE: Look, Biden removed the press credentials from 400 agencies
KARL: That's not true. 400 reporters who had credentials didn't reapply. They weren't banned from the WH. That did not happen.

The networks banned from the White House do not have to choose to have representatives from the Trump administration on their political talk shows this morning
But they will because they love lying liars

The law is that “Although the WH is not required to open its doors to the news media, once it establishes press facilities for credentialed journalists, it cannot deny access based on the content of a journalist’s coverage.” That's exactly what Trump is doing. joycevance.substack.com/p/its-a-nice...
It’s a Nice First Amendment You’ve Got There…
Mea culpa for the long post on a Saturday night, but read on and see if you don’t agree that it’s essential.

We should all be disgusted of the White House Press Corp. No one walked out
No one told Trumpy to go fuck himself.
No one said mean things to Trumpy after he chopped down another pillar of American Democracy.
No one asked for proof any of them published 'fake news'.
No one did anything.
Sad.

Just a quick dispatch to share my CNN Newsroom appearance yesterday in which I discussed the measles outbreak with Fredricka Whitfield.

It's as if Trump says lies that paint him in the most favorable light. Media organizations with investigative journalists to uncover the facts would never fall for that, right? RIGHT?!

The White House Press Corps should just boycott the White House and stop covering Trump in solidarity with their colleagues. He would wither without any media attention.

More NYT: too bad for them
Journalists from CNN, MS NOW and Politico were denied entry to the White House on Saturday. First Amendment experts condemned President Trump’s ban on the news outlets as unconstitutional. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/09...

The press is supposed to be able to scrutinize the government, EVEN when the president hates the coverage.
That’s Freedom of the Press!
Yesterday, Tapper made it clear that journalists aren’t simply going to stop doing their jobs because the president wants them gone.
That matters.
Well done, Jake!

We can call it what it is - Fascism!
The First Amendment does not care whether or not a president likes his media coverage.
This overreach is unlawful and unconstitutional. We will continue to support and fight for the free press and journalists. ⬇️

The president banned reporters for asking questions. He can’t defend his record. And if you can’t take the heat, then get out of the kitchen.

Even if the journalists were mediocre, the intimidation and punishment would still be equally wrong and outrageous.
Our colleagues at @cnn.com @msnownews.bsky.social and @politico.com are thorough professionals doing an excellent job of covering the White House. Proud of their courage and commitment to independent journalism in the face of intimidation and punishment.

No news outlet ought to participate in White House briefings or events until this is repealed.
Journalists from these organizations have now been denied entry into the White House, press IDs revoked.
Trump is banning CNN, MSNOW and MSNBC from the White House so presumably the First Amendment doesn’t count any more.
