Trump bans CNN, MS NOW, Politico from White House

President Trump announced Friday he is banning CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House "effective immediately," citing what he called unfavorable and false coverage. Journalists from all three outlets were denied access to White House grounds on Saturday, though legal challenges based on First Amendment grounds are anticipated.
Left-leaning outlets frame this as an unprecedented attack on press freedom and the First Amendment. They emphasize Trump's use of terms like "fake news" and "FICTION and LIES," and note this represents an escalation in his conflict with mainstream media outlets.
Center outlets note the ban and expected legal challenges without strong editorial stance. They report the facts of the ban, the outlets affected, and that courts will likely need to address First Amendment concerns, while observing that some Fox News contributors have also criticized the decision.
Right-leaning outlets characterize the banned outlets as purveyors of left-leaning bias and "fake news." The Federalist describes them as "infamous for coverage that skews radically to the left," while Reason raises constitutional questions about presidential authority to restrict press access.
