TRUMP TELLS CNN YOU SHOULD NOT BE HERE – Fake News Ban Escalates to New Heights
In a shocking display of disdain for the press, President Donald Trump told CNN's Kaitlan Collins that she "should not be here" covering him at the United Nations. This is just the latest escalation in the bitter conflict between Trump and news outlets he deems as "fake news." The White House had banned CNN from White House grounds, along with MS NOW and Politico, and removed the network from pool duty. However, CNN was allowed into the UN as regularly credentialed media. Trump doubled down on his remarks, saying negative coverage is "dangerous" for the country and that he has a right to "clean out fake news." The ban and lawsuit are part of a long-running conflict between Trump and media outlets he finds unfavorable. The standoff has sparked a collective media action, with other outlets refusing to publish photographs of presidential events or replace CNN with another network on coverage. Analysts say the long-term impact may be more serious, with audiences potentially being deprived of important civic information. Trump's remarks labeling negative media coverage "dangerous" are particularly troubling, as they seem to disregard basic freedoms of the press. As the standoff continues, it remains to be seen how long the ban and collective media action will last.
