President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he would immediately ban CNN, MSNOW, and Politico from the White House.
Trump accused the left-wing outlets of repeatedly reporting falsehoods, vowing that more news outlets would also be banned.
“I am proud to announce that, effective immediately, I am banning Fake News CNN, MSNOW (who recently changed their name from MSNBC due to lack of viewership and credibility!), and Politico (The recipients of an illegal and ridiculous $8 Million Dollar subscription, an All Time Record, directly from the United States Government, under Crooked Joe Biden, in order to keep them “alive.” Seems like corruption to me!), from the White House as a result of their constant “reporting” FAKE NEWS!” Trump posted on Truth Social.
He added that “Media Outlets shouldn’t be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES when they’re covering the President of the United States, the Trump Administration, or the United States of America.”
Trump revealed that “Other Fake News Media Outlets to follow,” implying that other establishment outlets would also lose their White House access.
He signed the post with, “Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP.”
Prominent conservative journalist Nick Sortor commented on the move shortly after the announcement.
