What is the Trump administration’s “ban” on CNN, Politico, and MS Now about?
You can't entertain Americans when you actually hate the average American, their values, their belief systems, you know, the country that they love. Enter the Daily Wire. Our newest release, Run Hide Fight Infidels, is finally streaming. Radical jihadists will destroy our freedom, but only if we let them. If you're a fan of those over-the-top action-packed films from the 80s and 90s, Red Dawn, Toy Soldiers, this is a movie you're not going to want to miss. Red-blooded American Good Guys taking on the radical Islamic terrorists. To regain their freedom. Watch Run Hide Fight Infidels. It's streaming now, only on the Daily Wire. Okay, so President Trump just banned CNN Politico and MS Now from the White House.
And I could not care less. Why? Well, because for decades, Democratic White Houses have worked hand in glove with compliant media while targeting right-wing media. And nobody said a word because, you know, they were polite about it. They checked all of the proper boxes. Well, President Trump doesn't do quiet and he doesn't check boxes. He just does the thing out loud. Is it ideal? Not really. We've been way past ideal, however, for a long time now. I'll explain it all in just a moment. Plus, we'll get to a New York Times Pulitzer Prize winner explaining that she betrayed her own child for the sake of political correctness. Miss Rachel's and Zorn Mamdani's favorite photojournalist simply loves terrorism, and Patrick Clancy speaks out.
This is the Ben Shapiro. Hero show.
Okay, so on Friday, President Trump put out a statement on Truth Social in which he said he was essentially banning CNN, MSNow and Politico from the White House. Here's what he said: quote, I'm proud to announce that effective immediately, I'm banning fake news CNN MS Now, who recently changed their name from MSNBC due to lack of viewership and credibility in Politico, the recipients of an illegal and ridiculous $8 million subscription in all-time records, directly from the US 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. 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.
Other fake news media outlets to follow. Thank you for your attention to this matter, President Donald J. Trump. All right, so what access did the administration actually pull? Let's start with that. Well, they're not like going to the CNN headquarters and just pulling the plug or occupying the building over at MS Now or something. Here's what they actually did. They deactivated the press badges from entry to the White House. If you had a press badge from MS Now, they pulled your press badge that included the briefing and workspaces in the lower press offices in the White House, just like a press office in the White House or some of the Journalists and pseudo-journalists work, outlets were also removed from the presidential press pool.
Okay, that is where basically There there's essentially one stringer who works for all of these outlets and then puts a microphone and a camera aimed at the president. And then all of these various outlets share the feed. And it's basically what was happening here. So let's start at the very beginning here. This is not exactly a ban on press. It certainly doesn't violate the constitution. There's no institution called the press that gets special rights in America. We all as American citizens have the same rights. So I'm gonna read you the first amendment because people never refer back to the text when they talk about this stuff. Congress shall Shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press, or of the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Okay, so again, Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of the press.
