Blanche defends Trump's White House media ban
Original: Blanche defends Trump's White House media ban: 'It's a privilege ... not a right' https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/20
Todd Blanche, Donald Trump's deputy attorney general, defended the White House's ban on certain media outlets, saying press access is 'a privilege, not a right'. The remarks drew criticism from press freedom advocates who argue the administration is punishing unfavourable coverage by restricting journalists' access to the president.
Why now: Press access fights between the Trump administration and news organisations remain a flashpoint for debate over press freedom.
