  "account": "US President Donald Trump has announced his intention to ban CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House, citing their frequent reporting of \"fiction or lies\" about his administration. Trump made the announcement on Truth Social, stating that the moves are \"immediate\" but did not clarify the specifics of the ban. CNN, MS NOW and Politico released statements condemning the ban, asserting that it would be an illegal violation of the First Amendment's protection of the press. The networks and outlets also vowed to defend their rights and continue reporting on the White House. Trump's move follows a series of clashes between his administration and the White House press corps, including his previous ban of CNN correspondent Jim Acosta. Media advocacy groups have criticized the ban, stating that it is unconstitutional as the White House press pool is a \"public forum\" under the First Amendment.",
  "summary": "Trump said that the outlets \"constantly write or report fiction or lies\" about his administration, although he provided no examples.",
