News Outlets Seek Court Relief Over White House

India Today · politics

CNN, MS NOW, and Politico have asked a court to halt the White House ban on their access, arguing it is applied inconsistently and is an attack on press freedom. The news organizations claim the administration will reinstate the ban if given the chance, causing irreparable harm. Their lawyers stated the ban punishes reporting the president dislikes, constituting retaliation and viewpoint discrimination. The filing repeats arguments from the original lawsuit, highlighting recent instances of inconsistent access.
