FPF comments on Trump’s media ban announcement

1 month 2 weeks ago

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

New York, Sept. 18, 2026 — President Donald Trump announced today that he plans to ban MS NOW, Politico, and CNN from the White House.

The following can be attributed to Seth Stern, chief of advocacy at Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF):

“It’s difficult to imagine a more blatant violation of the First Amendment than Trump banning news outlets from the People’s House for criticizing the government. It’s also hard to imagine a dumber move. The historically unpopular president has been retaliating against the press for years, but it hasn’t helped him. The press keeps exposing his corruption and his failures. These outrageous attacks only demonstrate how scared he is of an informed public.

“The press must continue to fight back to protect their rights, not only to access the White House but to access the public records and whistleblowers this administration so desperately wants to keep from them. In the meantime, though, they can take a break from getting lied to and insulted at the White House. There are plenty of places to find news, and reporters will continue to do just that no matter how many tantrums Trump throws on Truth Social. Just like he can’t keep his name on the Kennedy Center, he can’t keep it out of the headlines.”
