The President's Press Block: A Threat to Transparency Donald Trump has announced a ban on three prominent news outlets – CNN, MSNBC, and Politico – from accessing the White House.
This move is a thinly veiled attempt to silence criticism of his administration and a brazen disregard for the First Amendment's protection of press freedom.
The President's justification for this ban is that these outlets engage in "fake news" and report on his administration with a negative bias.
