Press Freedom: Court Extends Protection for Several US Media Outlets
A federal judge is continuing to temporarily shield CNN, Politico and MS NOW from being excluded from the White House, but the fundamental issue remains unresolved.
A US federal judge, Timothy Kelly, has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from revoking the White House press credentials of CNN, Politico, and MSNBC's Washington, D.C. bureau. The judge's ruling extends a previous temporary injunction that was set to expire. The media outlets had sued the administration, claiming that President Donald Trump's decision to ban them from the White House was a form of punishment for their critical reporting and a violation of the First Amendment. The judge's decision does not make a final ruling on the constitutionality of the media ban.
