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

This will form part of a defensive perimeter denying enemies access to Washington, to be known as the
MAGA No Line.

Trump's panicking about the widespread revulsion against his Arch, and is trying to cloak it in national security to jam it through or go around the normal approval process.
It's even more important to stop it now, as a test case of not letting him use "national security" to justify illegal acts.

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.

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...
