Trump bars CNN, MS NOW and Politico from White House over coverage he calls ‘fake news’

US President Donald Trump said Friday that he was barring CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House over what he described as unfavourable coverage and “fake news”. He also warned that other media organisations could face similar restrictions.

The move is the latest in Trump’s increasingly aggressive response to media coverage he considers unfavourable and could have implications for press freedom and the First Amendment.
