Pressefreiheit in den USA: Trump verbietet US-Sender CNN Zugang zum Weißen Haus
Der US-Präsident führt einen Kampf gegen Medien, die über ihn kritisch berichten. Jetzt trifft es wenige Wochen vor den wichtigen Parlamentswahlen CNN und andere. Sie sind nicht die Ersten.
US President Donald Trump has banned major US news outlets, including CNN, MSNOW, and Politico, from accessing the White House. The ban was announced on Trump's platform Truth Social, where he accused them of spreading fake news. Critics argue that this is an intimidation tactic and an attack on press freedom. Journalists from these media houses have been barred from press conferences and meetings with Trump in the Oval Office.
CNN, one of the world's most prominent news broadcasters, has stated that they have not yet seen any signs that the government will implement its ban. MSNOW and Politico reported being able to access the White House as usual during the time of Trump's announcement. The White House has not yet clarified whether the ban extends to government flights on Air Force One.
Trump's ban comes as he continues to criticize the media for what he sees as biased reporting and spreading of false information. He has vowed to take legal action against media outlets he believes are spreading misinformation. The White House Correspondents' Association has condemned Trump's decision, emphasizing the importance of press freedom and the American people's right to comprehensive and independent reporting on the activities of those in the highest office of the nation.
