Trump announced that CNN, along with MS NOW and Politico, would no longer have access due to their alleged &#8220;constant fake news.&#8221; Trump justified the ban by accusing these outlets of reporting fiction and lies. CNN&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-boko-haram-isis-wing-funnels-43-million-a-year-through-nigerian-banks\/\" title=\"Report: Boko Haram ISIS Wing Funnels  Million a Year Through Nigerian Banks\">chief media analyst<\/a>, Brian Stelter, questioned what specific content might have upset the president, noting there was no clear reason given. Despite the initial stance, CNN reported that their staff remained at the White House shortly after the announcement. However, on the following Saturday, reporters from CNN, MS NOW, and Politico were officially barred from entering the White House premises, with some having their press credentials confiscated. CNN and MS NOW stated their commitment to holding the government accountable and defending press freedom, emphasizing that the White House is for the American people and funded by taxpayers. The incident raised concerns about press independence and the impact of presidential assertions on media access.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>CNN read and criticized President Donald Trump\u2019s announcement that their reporters would be banned from the White House.<\/p>\n<p>Trump revealed on Friday via  that CNN, as well as MS NOW and Politico, would no longer have access to the White House because of their \u201cconstant \u2018reporting\u2019 FAKE NEWS.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMedia Outlets shouldn\u2019t be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES when they\u2019re covering the President of the United States, the Trump Administration, or the United States of America,\u201d Trump added, warning that \u201cOther Fake News Media Outlets\u201d would be banned as well.<\/p>\n<p>After the  post was read in its entirety on the network, CNN chief media analyst Brian Stelter was brought on to comment about it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a very unusual post from the president, and the first question I had when I saw it was, \u2018What did CNN and MS NOW and Politico write that might have made the president so upset?\u2019 There is no specific answer in his post,\u201d Stelter said.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">LOL.
