Since that time, viewpoint discrimination has long been viewed as not a reasonable basis for exclusion.
In this case, the White House gave no procedural protections or any reason other than the president's view that these outlets were publishing quote fake news.
The White House will have to argue that it can deny access without notice, procedural protections, and based entirely on the content of coverage.
In other words, it will have to argue that it can engage in viewpoint discrimination.
This would create a dangerous and unfettered power.
Future presidents could use it to bar conservative media outlets that expose government abuse or waste.
Whatever the outcome of this litigation, it is not a policy that advances our core values and traditions.
Now here's what the left is saying.
The left opposes the ban with some tying it to Trump's past actions against the press.
Many argue the action violates the First Amendment.
Others suggest the move will backfire.
The New York Times editorial board said Trump is attacking press freedom and disregarding the law.
Twice during President Trump's first term, his administration tried to prevent a journalist whose work it did not like from reporting at the White House.
Twice judges rejected the moves as unconstitutional and restored the journalists' access.
Now the administration is attempting the same move, barring journalists from CNN, MSNow, and Politico from the White House because they had written what the president called purposefully negative stories.
The seeming arcane question of which media organizations have access to the White House fits with a larger pattern of Mr.
Trump's attempts to control the media.
Officials from his administration have searched the home of a Washington Post reporter and served subpoenas to staff members of the New York Times.
He has impinged on press freedom in ways that no other modern president has.
If he now gets away with punishing CNN, MSNow and Politico, he'll be able to credibly threaten other organizations.
