Trump bans media outlets CNN, MS NOW, Politico from White House

On September 18th, President Donald Trump announced on social media that he was banning three news outlets from the White House: CNN, MS NOW, and Politico. The ban came as a response to the outlets' perceived "constant 'reporting' of FAKE NEWS." Trump stated that he would announce additional names of outlets that would follow suit.

He expressed his frustration with media outlets constantly publishing fiction and lies while covering the President, the Administration, and the United States. CNN, MS NOW, Politico, and the National Press Club did not issue any comments on the matter. Trump's history includes urging broadcasters to drop news programs he disagrees with or that have criticized him, as well as calling for the FCC to strip stations of licenses for airing unfavorable news or programming.
