Judge orders White House to restore access for CNN, MS Now and Politico
Original: Judge extends White House access to banned media outlets CNN, MS Now and Politico
A federal judge has ruled that the White House must extend press access to CNN, MS Now and Politico, outlets that had been barred from covering the president. The decision compels the administration to treat the banned media organisations like other news outlets for access purposes. The ruling is being read as a check on the administration's ability to punish news organisations it dislikes, and is likely to fuel debate over press freedom and the limits of presidential control over media access.
Why now: A judge has just ruled against the White House's exclusion of major news outlets, raising press freedom concerns.
