Press Freedom in the US: Trump Bans US Broadcaster CNN 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 accessing the White House, accusing them of spreading false news. The ban, announced on Truth Social, has sparked criticism that Trump is trying to intimidate the media and attack press freedom. The restrictions would reportedly bar reporters from these outlets from attending press conferences and meetings at the Oval Office. CNN and MS NOW reported that they had not yet seen any efforts to enforce the ban.
