Trump anuncia el veto al acceso a la Casa Blanca de CNN, MSNBC y Politico

El presidente anuncia en un mensaje en Truth Social la medida, que supone una grave escalada en sus ataques a la libertad de prensa

Trump anuncia el veto al acceso a la Casa Blanca de CNN, MSNBC y Politico

US President Donald Trump has announced that he is banning CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House, effective immediately. According to the Jerusalem Post, Trump described the networks as "fake news" and singled out MS NOW for having changed their name from MSNBC due to lack of viewership and credibility.

The ban was announced in a Truth Social post, where Trump also accused Politico of receiving an "illegal and ridiculous $8 Million Dollar subscription" from the US government under President Joe Biden, which he claimed sounded like "corruption". Trump stated that media outlets shouldn't be able to constantly write or report "FICTION and LIES" when covering the President or the US administration.

The Winnipeg Free Press reports that Trump threatened that more media prohibitions could be coming, which would test constitutional First Amendment protections guaranteeing the freedom of the press. The ban is due to what Trump called unfavorable coverage from the three media outlets.
