Donald Trump, the President of the United States, announced on Friday an unprecedented decision to ban journalists from three media outlets, CNN, MSNBC, and Politico, from entering the White House due to what he called the publication of "fake news." In a post on Truth Social, he stated that these media outlets "constantly write or report stories or lies" about his administration, although he did not provide any specific examples. Shortly after this announcement, Trump responded to reporters' questions, saying that "others may join them," but he did not name any specific news organizations. CNN quickly reacted to this action, condemning it as an "illegal attack" on press freedom in the United States.
