What prompted President Trump to ban CNN, MS Now, and Politico from the White House press pool?
From executive producer Isaac Saul, this is Tangle.
Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, and welcome to the Tangle Podcast, a place where you get views from across the political spectrum, some independent thinking, and a little bit of mind take. I'm your host, Isaac Sol, uh fresh off a Yom Kippur fast and a day spent in synagogue yesterday. I feel sufficiently reminded of all the things I have to atone for from the last year and also how much I need coffee. And water. Uh, I was dying yesterday. Special thanks to Will Kback who hopped in on the take yesterday, which was a fascinating listen on the evolving situation in the Middle East. Highly encourage you to check it out if you have not yet. Today I'm back to write about the president's media diet, which apparently excludes CNN politico and MS now, as those outlets are now banned from the White House press pool.
Plus, a reader question about Congress's early recess and an under-the-radar story on enforcing a law against firearm sales to 18 to 20-year-old buyers. It's a great episode. I'm excited to lock it in. I'm gonna pass it over to Will K back to get us started.
Thanks, Isaac. Alright, let's get into today's quick hits. Номер ван А фельдшел корт реинated Missouri congressional map designed to net republicans an additional seat in the US House, finding that requiring the state to use the previous version of the map would be unconstitutional. The case is now expected to go to the Supreme Court. Number two, the Federal Aviation Administration grounded flights at major airports in the Northeast after a telecommunications outage. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said that quote an Amtrak construction crew accidentally cut into a fiber line in New Jersey, end quote, which caused the outage. Three, Paramount and a group of state attorneys general reached an agreement that will allow the company to proceed with its eighty-one billion dollar merger with Warner Bros.
Discovery. As part of the deal, Paramount said it will create an editorial independence board to oversee CNN and CBS News. Number four, the United Nations General Assembly begins today in New York City with President Donald Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Iranian president Mazoud Pajeskin all expected to be in attendance. And finally, number five, President Donald Trump said his administration is negotiating a deal with Belarus to buy potash, salts used as agricultural fertilizer, amid the United States' ongoing trade war with Canada, its largest potash supplier. However, Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko said his country does not have available supply to sell.
Trump silenced by his own hand. Today, Trump held a ribbon cutting event to show off his new helipad. A helipad he's bragged about again and again, talking about the grass around it, and you know, he walks people out there. He's really proud of this. He was thrilled to show it off. Except for the fact that nobody could hear him when the big ribbon cutting happened because he banned CNN, Politico, and MS now from the White House. Networks all stood for the First Amendment and refused to bail him out by providing the pool coverage of presidential events that CNN was slated to deliver today.
On Friday, President Donald Trump announced he is barring journalists from CNN, MSNow, and Politico from the White House. The president accused the outlets of inaccurately reporting on his administration and suggested that additional news organizations could also be banned in the future. On Monday, the outlet sued the government for allegedly violating their First Amendment rights. In a truth social post on Friday, Trump wrote, quote, 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, end quote. On Monday, he said the ban was not an assault on the free press, but quote, an assault on the fake news, something that has grown like cancer in our beloved United States of America, end quote.
