Fox News contributors denounce Trump’s ban on CNN, MS NOW, Politico
The move drew bipartisan criticism as Trump suggested The New York Times and The Washington Post could be next, media figures said.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump announced an immediate ban on CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House, framing the action as a response to reporting he dislikes.
- Critics denounced the move as an authoritarian attack on press freedom. Fox News contributors compared Trump's rhetoric to dictators who silence the press, with one noting the parallels to communist regimes.
- During a debate on Anderson Cooper's program, David Urban argued that "simply banning people from showing up does not mean that the coverage stops." Navarro countered the president should focus on being a "good president" rather than weaponizing the FCC.
- President Trump suggested in the White House that additional news organizations could face similar bans. Critics warn such actions threaten constitutional press protections that do not depend on presidential approval.
- The current dispute echoes 2009, when the Barack Obama administration attempted to exclude Fox News from certain White House access. Historical precedent suggests this may represent short-term exclusion rather than permanent policy.
