Trump says CNN, MS NOW, Politico banned from White House

US President Donald Trump announced that he is banning CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House, effective immediately. He accused these outlets of constantly reporting "fake news", "fiction", and "lies" without providing specifics.

According to Trump, media outlets should not be able to report inaccurately when covering the President, the administration, or the country. He made the announcement on his Truth Social network.

The Jerusalem Post reported that Trump singled out MS NOW for changing its name from MSNBC due to low viewership and credibility. He also alleged that Politico received an "illegal and ridiculous" $8 Million Dollar subscription from the US government under President Biden, suggesting corruption. Trump hinted that other "fake news" media outlets would face similar bans.
