CNN didn’t have any problem calling for the banning of Fox from the WH when Biden was POTUS.

And what was your response then? ….

I just have enough sense to realize that kicking a propaganda network off of Air Force One has nothing to do with free speech or civil liberties.


Especially since CNN screams that we are at war and undermines everything this administration does. Same with MSDSC.

What part of free speech is a guaranteed right to travel on AF1 with the president?


I swear these people think it’s written in the Constitution or something.

The judge is clearly a radical activist trying to get a slop news org back.

This means that, by circumstance and availability, all the other worthwhile news outlets were banned…….and fake news outlets like CNN took their spot due to elitism.

Donald Trump is essentially a hero to the liberals of the 70s and 80s, but today’s progfilth won’t admit it.

He’s a rich man trying to erase elitism by allowing worthwhile news outlets to actually report what he is saying.

You are one retarded Panican, nothing close to a Constitutional scholar. What civil right guarantees CNN to that seat over another news outlet?

Fair enough. This is what I am getting at.
quote:

A lot of people wrote in, both in comments and in my DMs, after yesterday’s article criticizing Donald Trump’s goofball policies with White House credentials. It’s true that no one has a right to a press pass. It’s also true that presidents deny passes all the time for political reasons. The issue is that a president can’t say, out loud, that he or she is denying a pass for speech reasons. From Perry v. Sindermann:

For at least a quarter-century, this Court has made clear that, even though a person has no “right” to a valuable governmental benefit, and even though the government may deny him the benefit for any number of reasons, there are some reasons upon which the government may not rely. It may not deny a benefit to a person on a basis that infringes his constitutionally protected interest, especially his interest in freedom of speech.

This doesn’t rate high on my personal list of First Amendment threats (I actually laughed the first time I heard about the “Gulf of America” story), but it’s clearly verboten and when Trump does things like this, it underscores that he doesn’t care about rules. If you want to show that you “cherish” the free press, do what every president does: mess with them legally.

He should have allowed them to board the plane and then removed them at the last minute.

Blow it all out your arse. CNN deserves everything it gets. They have no respect for the constitution so why should they be able to hide behind it when it suits them?

No violations occurred. CNN can buy their own ticket to Tennessee and cover everything at their own expense. Still able to exercise freedom of press..... they just have to pay for it, instead of getting a free ride
