Trump White House escalates feud with AP, threatens to bar reporters from Air Force One
Short read, but very telling how Politico spun this. After decades of Established Leftist Media, they accuse Trump of unfairness?
Talk about stupid!
After repeatedly stopping reporters from The Associated Press from being in the same room as President Donald Trump, the White House on Friday doubled down, appearing to bar the organization's journalists from traveling on Air Force One as well.
The feud, which the White House Correspondents' Association has called a violation of the First Amendment and Trump's own executive order on free speech, began Tuesday and stems from AP's recent decision to ignore the president's Day 1 order renaming the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of America."
In a post on X, Trump deputy chief of staff Taylor Budowich said that ignoring the "lawful" renaming is "divisive" and "exposes the Associated Press' commitment to misinformation."

Question: does ANY administration have to allow ANY news organization in the White House or in Air Force One to begin with? We, the taxpayers, pay for The President to live in the White House and travel on Air Force One (not these fake news organizations). Make them travel on their own dime, or bill them. How about we bill them for use of the briefing room? The electricity? The wear and tear? The administrative costs to sign them in on the regular?
Freedom Of Speech does mean to have total access to every where, to do anything you want. I can show you how local judge put on one of those YouTube frauditors in contempt of court and put that punk in county jail.

If memory serves me, the "White House Press Corp" was created by the media themselves, and is completely separate from actual Govt.
I was just telling the wife, that Trump could legally kick out all the lSM and let in an entirely new group, and there wouldn't be a thing they could do to stop him.
