Donald Trump bans CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from White House over unfavorable coverage

On September 18, 2026, President Donald Trump announced a ban on CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House, citing their reporting as 'fake news.' He stated that the ban was effective immediately and suggested that other media outlets could also be banned. This decision has raised concerns about First Amendment rights and the freedom of the press, as reporters from these outlets continued to cover the White House despite the announcement.
