Donald Trump, the American president, immediately banned CNN and MSNOW news television, as well as the Politico newspaper from the White House, and ordered the banning of further media outlets. Those affected were considered to have violated the constitution by the action - according to the MTI.
The American president announced his decision on the Truth Social social media platform.
I ban CNN, MSNOW, and Politico from the White House, for which they constantly report fake news
- Trump wrote, adding: "more fake news providers will follow".
The 80-year-old Republican president has repeatedly attacked journalists and media outlets for not liking their reporting in court, on the Truth Social platform, and during conversations with journalists.
He also banned the AP American news agency, which was considered moderate, from the Oval Office, as he was unwilling to name it Mexican. The president has already targeted The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, the BBC, and other media outlets.
Publishers complain about constitutional violations
CNN reacted to the current decision by saying that if the president's ban - if it actually takes effect - violates the fundamental right of the press to collect information without government obstruction and interference, then according to the American constitution, the press has the right to do so.
Politico also stated that they consistently defend their rights against experiments that try to limit them. Both stated that they continue to strive to report on the activities of the American government in a balanced way.
