Most media coverage of Trump is already negative. So if they stop covering him? That’s actually a WIN for him. Fewer smear jobs, less noise. Legacy outlets need the ratings more than he needs their hit pieces.

Let me get this straight, CNN, ABC, and NBC, you banned Trump's speech on your networks back in July, and now you're whining because he banned you from the White House?
ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX are saying they’re going to be boycotting White House Press Coverage in solidarity with CNN, Politico, etc. This might unironically be the healthiest thing that could happen to the country. Watch as everyone’s anxiety goes down and people start smiling more
Correct me if I’m wrong but Trump didn’t restrict CNN’s or anyone’s free speech.
He restricted them from the White House.
There are millions of journalists in the World.
They aren’t invited into the WH either.
Who would you prefer as the GOP candidate for President in 2028?

CNN claims Trump is violating their constitutional rights by revoking their privileged access (NOT their right to report however they wish). Turns out the Supreme Court has disagreed since before I was born.
Houchins v. KQED (1978): The First Amendment does not require the government to give the press access to information or places under government control. It “is neither a Freedom of Information Act nor an Official Secrets Act.” The press’s core protection is the right to communicate information once obtained, not a right to collect it from the government.
Pell v. Procunier (1974) and related cases: The press has no constitutional right to information or locations not available to the public generally.
Zemel v. Rusk (1965): “Entry into the White House [is not] a First Amendment right. The right to speak and publish does not carry with it the unrestrained right to gather information.”
@AP_CorpComm Standing for the constitution is commendable!
Now do the 2nd amendment too!
Or is the press part of the 1st the only piece you fight for and comment on?
@AP_CorpComm NO member of the press has a “right” to White House access. If they do, I declare myself a citizen journalist and will be there with all 340 million of my friends who are also citizen journalists in a few hours.
