Trump has Truth Social tantrum over press coverage again after replacing CNN with LindellTV

The Independent • • general

Key Points:

  • President Donald Trump criticized the media again after a federal judge ordered him to lift a White House ban on CNN, MSNBC, and Politico, following their exclusion from White House grounds and press events starting September 18.
  • Trump questioned why these outlets should have access to the White House, labeling them "fake news" and accusing them of negative and biased coverage against him and his administration.
  • CNN, MSNBC, and Politico filed a lawsuit claiming the ban violated their First and Fifth Amendment rights, while the Justice Department defended the ban on national security grounds, asserting White House access is a privilege, not a right.
  • U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly ordered the temporary reinstatement of the press badges on September 24, but the White House subsequently excluded CNN from Air Force One coverage during Trump's trip to Knoxville, replacing it with conservative outlets like LindellTV.
  • Trump maintains a contentious relationship with the press, frequently accusing major news organizations of unfair reporting and branding them as purveyors of "fake news."
