USA: Trump bans CNN and "Politico" from White House access
The US President is waging a battle against media that report critically about him. Now, just weeks before the important midterm elections, it affects CNN and others. They are not the first.
US President Donald Trump has banned CNN, MS NOW, and the news portal Politico from the White House, accusing them of spreading false news. The ban, announced on Truth Social, would exclude reporters from these media outlets from press conferences and events in the Oval Office. CNN is a well-known global news network, while Politico is part of the Axel Springer media group. It is unclear how far-reaching the ban is, and whether journalists will also be barred from traveling on Air Force One.
