Media: Trump Bans CNN and 'Politico' From White House Access
The US President is waging a fight against media that report critically about him. Now it's CNN's turn and others. They are not the first to be affected by bans.
US President Donald Trump has banned CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from accessing the White House, accusing them of spreading false news. The ban would exclude their reporters from press conferences and events at the Oval Office. CNN is a well-known global news network, while Politico is owned by German media conglomerate Axel Springer.
This is not the first time Trump has restricted media access, with the Associated Press facing restrictions in January 2025. Trump's administration has also been criticized for favoring right-wing influencers and lodging lawsuits against critical media outlets, including the New York Times, BBC, CBS, and ABC.
