The President's Press Pass: Free Speech on the Chopping Block The White House's ongoing war against "fake news" has led to a disturbing trend.
Last week, CNN, MS NOW (formerly MSNBC), and Politico were barred from White House briefings, sparking widespread criticism from media organizations and free speech advocates.
Critics of this decision argue that it is an attempt to muzzle critical reporting. The fact that Trump announced the ban via his social media platform rather than through official channels adds to the sense of unease.
