Trump announced he is banning CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the WH

This is hilarious



"“banning” CNN, MS NOW and Politico “from the White House.” He said it was “effective immediately,” but there was no indication his administration had taken steps to follow through."

"The three national news outlets President Donald Trump banned from the White House — CNN, MS NOW, and Politico — filed a critical First Amendment lawsuit to restore their access.

The emergency request is set to go before a federal judge in the DC District Court and could result in hearings and legal arguments from the administration as soon as this week.

“This ban could not be a more direct assault on the First Amendment nor a more blatant violation of our most fundamental constitutional principles,” the outlets said in their lawsuit, which is asking the court to act immediately to revive their journalists’ access to the White House.

The lawsuit will allege Trump’s ban violates the First Amendment and the Constitution’s due process protections.

“This morning, we notified the government that we are filing a lawsuit today to protect our First Amendment rights and defend the principle that the government does not decide what the press reports or publishes,” the three news organizations said in a joint statement on Monday.

“Without notice or process, the White House revoked our journalists’ credentials because it objected to our reporting,” the news outlets said. “Left unchallenged, this threatens press freedom and the public’s right to independent journalism free from government interference.” "




Here goes they sued for access to the briefings.

When is all this petty bullshit going to end ???

This will get overturned in a heart beat

[gspotman]

Has any otherpresident ever banned a news organization from the WH?

[tacnet]

This is what happens when Trump is not surrounded by professional people like he was in his first term. Now he has surrounded himself with sycophants and ass kissers who go along with every crazy idea he throws out there

Somebody should have told him this was going to get overturned in the courts and while they're at it, maybe someone should have told him that now is probably not a good time to start your own state sponsored TV channel - Trump TV !!

Does he really think he is going to turn America into some sort of authoritarian state ??

[killah]

Give it time this will get over ruled in the courts based on the first amendment.

Who would have not guessed this out come:


" Federal Judge Timothy Kelly has ordered the Trump administration to temporarily reinstate CNN, MS NOW and Politico’s access to the White House after they were banned from the premises by President Donald Trump.

In the ruling issued early Thursday, Kelly found the revocation of reporters’ press badges was done without “constitutionally adequate due process.”

The ruling - which comes just hours before Trump is set to welcome Chinese leader Xi Jinping - means journalists should now be able to return to work at the White House complex.

Some CNN staff, however, were unable to gain access to the White House early Thursday morning. CNN reporter Betsy Klein and a photojournalist were denied access to the White House grounds in the 6:00 a.m. hour. There was no reason provided for the refusal and CNN will continue to try to gain access as regular business hours start.

One CNN producer was able to enter the White House using their pass after 6:00 a.m. It was not immediately clear why the person had been able to access the building.

Reporters from MS NOW and Politico were also barred from entering the building early Thursday morning, according to the outlets."
