  "account": "MS NOW, a news network, announced on Saturday that its journalists were denied entry to the White House grounds, a day after President Donald Trump announced a ban on their access. Politico and CNN were also reportedly barred, but there was no immediate information about their situations. This move intensified Trump's ongoing attempts to restrict coverage by journalists he considers unfavorable. MS NOW reaffirmed its support for its journalists, emphasizing that the White House is a public facility whose operations are funded by tax dollars. The network vowed to employ all necessary measures to defend the First Amendment rights and the crucial role of independent journalism in the United States.",
  "summary": "NEW YORK (AP) — MS NOW said its journalists were denied access to the White House Saturday morning, a day after President Donald Trump said he would ban the network and two other news outlets from the complex. There was no immediate word about access for the other two — Politico and CNN.",
