Unfortunately Trump is about to have it handed to him by the courts.

Theres no right to a press pass or media access. However once you allow the media in, you can’t selectively choose who gets in because you don’t like their coverage.

That’s viewpoint discrimination. The First Amendment’s core rule is that the state may not punish speech because of its message. Trump’s stated reason, “negative stories” and “I don’t have to let them into the people’s house,” is almost a textbook admission of that.

How are they punishing speech?

They can print what they want, can’t they?

Good for Fox for reciprocating from when Obama tried to ban Fox from covering an event.

They’re punishing free speech because the ban is because of the reporting, not a content-neutral space, security, or logistics rule applied to everyone.

The government can’t use official access as a prize for friendly coverage, and a penalty for unfriendly coverage.

Imagine if the democrats were allowed to do this.

Helping everyone realize how irrelevant these people are isn't a smart move on their part.

How? Why?

If the White House doesn’t get to decide who gets in then who?

Does WWL sue s o they get a seat??

This will fail in court.

:

When WaPo, CNN...joined in against the boycott of Fox News and others by Obama.

Obama entered in that woman in a bathtub of footloops and milk. I think Obama caved.

Trump wont cave he doesnt have a comms lady. After Fox fired Maria. Who needs em or WaPo?

If Trump has something to say he doesnt need Peter Doocy.
