Is it too much to ask for news only and not opinions and slants?

Very clear distinction there.

Those reporters were prohibited because there was a clearing of the access rosters and streamlining of how many reporters from each outlet were allowed access.

They didn’t ban their newspapers outright. That’s what happened here.

Please show your same viewpoint on this when your black Jesus banned media.

Didn't they leak USSS details on Trump in a food cart?

What difference does it make anyway?

Let's not split c@nt hairs, when we are already so far into Smith-Mundt Act, CIA Lies and Propaganda, 4 AM Talking Points, six Jewish owned Corps controlling 97% of all digital and print media, etc..

It's all a farce on the viewing public in the first place.

These networks provide the audio and video feeds used by most of the industry. so, DJT is going offline effectively. It'll be interesting to see how the admin reacts to no coverage at events, especially this close to the midterms.

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.


The AP case from last year is still working its way to trial, but the DC Circuit did allow Trmp's "ban" on the AP to continue due to likelihood of Trump winning. it stated"

quote:

The White House is likely to succeed on the
merits because these restricted presidential spaces are not First
Amendment fora opened for private speech and discussion.
The White House therefore retains discretion to determine,
including on the basis of viewpoint, which journalists will be
admitted.

CNN is not free press. They are bought and paid for by foreign countries.

Elements of CNN should be investigated for treason.
