CNN, MS NOW, and Politico filed a lawsuit on Monday against President Donald Trump’s administration, days after being excluded from White House grounds. According to France 24, this selective ban, based on the content of their media coverage, constitutes a “blatant violation” of the First Amendment.
This exceptional measure marks an escalation in Donald Trump’s long-standing efforts to restrict media coverage he deems unfavorable, notes Kethevane Gorjestani of France 24.
