Press Freedom in the USA: Ousting from the White House: Trump's Dispute with Media Escalates
Donald Trump describes the world-famous TV station CNN and other media as trash, compares them to cancer - and bans them from the White House. However, he is facing resistance.
US President Donald Trump has banned CNN, Politico, and MSNBC from the White House, sparking a feud with the media. The three outlets have filed a lawsuit against the ban, calling it a threat to press freedom and the public's right to independent journalism. The ban has also led to a halt in the usual TV coverage of Trump's events, as the outlets that are part of the rotation have stopped providing coverage in protest.
The lawsuit, filed in Washington, seeks to have the ban lifted immediately. Trump has accused the outlets of spreading "fake news" and has previously criticized CNN, calling it a source of "FAKE NEWS" that has "infested" the US like a cancer.
