Trump says he's banning CNN, MSNOW and Politico from the White House

President Donald Trump announced on his social media platform, Truth Social, that he has banned CNN, MSNOW, and Politico from the White House. This decision comes as a response to what Trump perceives as negative coverage, labeling the journalists as "petulant attention addicts obsessed with what people he claims to hate say about him."

The statement was made on Truth Social, where Trump often shares his unfiltered views. Trump hinted that similar bans would follow, though he did not provide further details about the implementation of this ban. This move is not the first time Trump has taken action against media outlets he disapproves of. In the past, he banned The Associated Press from the Oval Office and other press opportunities due to its refusal to use the term "Gulf of America" instead of the correct "Gulf of Mexico."

This latest ban is more extensive, targeting multiple outlets for unspecified offenses against the administration. Trump also suggested that The New York Times and The Washington Post might be next on his list of targets. CNN, however, has not received any official communication from Trump or his team regarding the ban. The network responded to the news by reaffirming its commitment to its reporting, emphasizing its right to do so under the U.S. Constitution without government interference.

Should Trump's ban come into effect, CNN views it as an illegal assault on their fundamental constitutional right.
