President Trump Bans CNN, MS-NOW, and Politico from White House Following Negative Coverage
President Trump has banned CNN, MS-NOW, and Politico from the White House. This decision came after his aide, Natalie Harp, reportedly showed him negative media coverage from these outlets, particularly clips criticizing his administration and unfavorable polling data. The ban has led to these news organizations being denied entry to the White House, with Secret Service agents pulling their hard passes. This action has sparked a lawsuit from the three outlets. The ban occurred during a critical foreign policy week, which includes the UN General Assembly meeting and planned meetings with international leaders such as Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Xi Jinping. The absence of these outlets from the press pool means that a significant portion of the press will be blinded during potentially momentous international discussions.
