Judge Orders Trump Admin To Reverse ‘Fake News’ White House Ban

/4 Comments/in , /by

By Daily Caller. A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to restore press credentials to CNN, MS NOW, and Politico after the president “banned” them from the White House Friday.

The ruling comes after the three outlets joined forces to sue the administration to restore their press credentials. U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly granted the outlets a temporary order to reinstate their access on Monday, but reports claim journalists are still being denied entry to the White House.

“The brief makes clear what the law has long established: the government cannot remove journalists from the White House because it dislikes their reporting,” White House Correspondents Association President Jacqui Heinrich said in a post on X.

“That is viewpoint discrimination, and a clear violation of the First Amendment.”

“It is called the Oval Office, and it should be treated with Decorum, Respect, and Dignity, not defiled by Third Rate Clowns, who purposefully distort, twist, and degrade with everything they write or publish,” President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post following the lawsuit. “Virtually every story about me, or anything having to do with me, is negative, wrong and, in many cases, DANGEROUS for our Country! No matter how GREAT my Achievements, they trivialize and demean.” (Read more from “Judge Orders Trump Admin To Reverse ‘Fake News’ White House Ban” HERE)

3 US news outlets return to White House after judge orders Trump to lift ban

By Miami News 7. Three news organizations banned from the White House for days were back Thursday, after a judge handed CNN, MS NOW and Politico a reprieve in an extraordinary showdown between President Donald Trump and outlets whose coverage he dislikes.

But media coverage of Trump’s White House was hardly normal. On a high-profile day when Chinese leader Xi Jinping was visiting Washington and planning to attend a state dinner, no major American network was airing live coverage.

After the White House banned CNN from a rotation of five major U.S. broadcast outlets who take turns shooting and sharing video, the other four — in a show of solidarity — were still declining to participate in the so-called video pool.

It was part of a chaotic day at the White House and in court. (Read more from “Judge Orders Trump Admin To Reverse ‘Fake News’ White House Ban” HERE)

Legacy Media Outlets Suing Trump Admin Over White House Ban

/0 Comments/in , /by

MS NOW, CNN and Politico announced Monday that they are suing President Donald Trump’s administration for banning reporters’ White House access.

Trump said in a Friday Truth Social post that the three news outlets would be immediately blocked from accessing the White House for writing “FICTION and LIES” about his administration. MS NOW, CNN and Politico’s lawsuit seeks to stop the ban and immediately restore White House press access and credentials for the outlets’ reporters.

“The President banned CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO, and the individual reporters covering the news for those media organizations, in disregard of the most basic guarantees of the First Amendment and the Due Process Clause,” according to the lawsuit. “He did so expressly for the improper purpose of retaliating against Plaintiffs for past news coverage because he deemed it ‘negative’ and chilling future reporting about him and his administration’s policies and actions.”

“This ban could not be a more direct assault on the First Amendment nor a more blatant violation of our most fundamental constitutional principles,” the suit claims.

The complaint also alleges that the ban is “already severely impeding the ability of CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO to cover the President and his administration.” (Read more from “Legacy Media Outlets Suing Trump Admin Over White House Ban” HERE)

Iran War, Epstein Files Causing Male Voters to Abandon Trump: Support has Cratered by an Astonishing 20 Points

/0 Comments/in , /by

During Wednesday’s episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, Kelly pointed to fresh polling analysis from CNN senior data analyst Harry Enten, who said Trump’s approval among men has swung sharply negative since November, with the steepest declines among men under 45 and men under 25. Kelly argued the numbers pose a serious political risk for Trump and Republicans ahead of the midterms.

“Trump won in 2024 because of men. They are abandoning him right now,” Enten said on Tuesday.

According to CNN’s analysis of multiple national polls, Trump won male voters by 13 points in the 2024 presidential election. That advantage has since flipped. Enten said Trump is now seven points underwater in net approval among men overall—a roughly 20‑point swing in just over a year.

The movement is even more pronounced among younger men. Enten reported that Trump carried men under the age of 45 by five points in 2024 but now holds a net approval rating of -9 with that group. Men under 25 show a similar collapse, shifting from backing Trump in the election to registering a net approval of minus 19 in recent polling.

Reacting to the data, Kelly said the figures suggest “the coalition Trump relied on is no longer as solid as it looked on Election Day,” warning sustained losses among young men could reverberate across battleground districts in the midterms.

Former CNN host Don Lemon was reportedly released from custody without bail after he was arrested for live-streaming anti-ICE protesters who stormed a Minnesota church, according to multiple reports.

Matt Finn, a national correspondent for the Fox News Channel, revealed in a post on X that Lemon is “free, no bail.”

“Breaking: Don Lemon is free, no bail,” Finn wrote in a post on X. “Per producer in the courtroom.”

TMZ reported that “Lemon was released without bail,” and that he said “he looks forward to vindication at trial”:

Lemon was released without bail. He says he looks forward to vindication at trial.

Prior to addressing the media Lemon appeared in court where a judge decided he could go without having to post bail while his federal case plays out.

Lemon wore a crisp, all white suit … waving and smiling at supporters — and winking at his husband at one point.

Disgraced Former CNN Anchor Don Lemon Arrested for Church Riot

/0 Comments/in , /by

Don Lemon, a disgraced former CNN anchor, was arrested Thursday night in Los Angeles, according to news reports.

Lemon’s attorney Abbe Lowell said in a statement released Friday morning:

Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy award. Don has been a journalist for 30 years, and his constitutionally protected work in Minneapolis was no different than what he has always done. The First Amendment exists to protect journalists whose role it is to shine light on the truth and hold those in power accountable.

Instead of investigating the federal agents who killed two peaceful Minnesota protesters, the Trump Justice Department is devoting its time, attention and resources to this arrest, and that is the real indictment of wrongdoing in this case. This unprecedented attack on the First Amendment and transparent attempt to distract attention from the many crises facing this administration will not stand. Don will fight these charges vigorously and thoroughly in court.

Hopefully, Don will fight these charges until he’s bankrupt. He spent the night in police custody and is expected to make a court appearance Friday morning. (Read more from “Disgraced Former CNN Anchor Don Lemon Arrested for Church Riot” HERE)

CNN Just Cracked Open Pandora’s Box That’s Worse Than Any Fake News Hoax

/0 Comments/in , , /by

CNN has opened up a Pandora’s box that’s worse than any fake news hoax the outlet could ever possibly peddle.

On Tuesday, the network announced an “official partnership” with the online platform Kalshi, which allows users to wager on anything from a sports game to whether J.D. Vance will be the GOP nominee in 2028, to how much money Darth Vader’s lightsaber will fetch at auction. Kalshi is a “prediction market,” and users are trading “contracts” on future events. So, somehow, it is legally distinct from gambling.

“As part of the partnership, CNN will get access to Kalshi’s data through an API, or backend interface, that automatically updates in real time,” Axios reported. “That data will be featured on CNN’s air through a real-time data ticker and can be referenced across CNN’s platforms when journalists discuss news predictions.”

Of course, neither CNN nor Kalshi has addressed the ethics elephant in the newsroom, as of publication. CNN anchors, reporters, and commentators do not determine events throughout the country and world. But they certainly influence them, enough to move markets. For example, if CNN published a story that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had a terminal illness, but that story later turned out to be false, Nvidia’s stock would have likely plummeted regardless, and billions of dollars could have been wiped out in a matter of minutes.

How will this power affect their coverage now that they are partnered with a betting platform? CNN will likely get a cut of the Kalshi gambling revenue, so how will that affect which events they choose to cover? Will the popularity of bets on Kalshi’s platform drive their coverage? Are they going to do segments on Darth Vader’s lightsaber because it drives the most wagering? Will all these CNN employees, from the executives to the bookers, be barred from betting on people or events they cover in the news? Where are the guardrails? What if anonymous sources, whether in government or working for a sports franchise, leak them stories to drive betting markets in a certain direction?

Scott Jennings Delivers Sharp Retort When Asked About FBI Investigating Dems Who Told Military To Ignore Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

Republican strategist Scott Jennings shut down a CNN anchor’s line of questioning in a discussion over whether the FBI should investigate the six Democratic lawmakers who urged the military to disregard President Donald Trump’s authority.

The Pentagon opened an inquiry into Democratic Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly on Monday after he joined five other lawmakers in a video telling U.S. troops they could refuse “illegal” orders from Trump. During a panel discussion on “The Arena,” Jennings said the real issue isn’t the inquiry — it’s that sitting members of Congress pushed a narrative suggesting the commander-in-chief was prepared to issue illegal orders.

“Democrats who are in power and there are Republicans who are making political videos, right? Are they going to use the FBI to investigate them too, right?” host Kasie Hunt asked Jennings.

“Plenty of Republicans are outraged about this. This video was clearly designed to try to create a narrative among the American people that the president had been or was about to give illegal orders. And it appears to me that it all has to do with what he’s doing with Venezuela,” Jennings said. “That seems to be what they’re mad about, although they did ask Elissa Slotkin on TV, and she cited a Hollywood movie to rationalize or justify what she had done. I don’t know what the truth is about these interviews, and I don’t know if they’ll ever be compelled to do it or not.”

Jennings said Republicans are furious that Democrats produced a video suggesting the commander-in-chief was prepared to issue illegal military orders. (Read more from “Scott Jennings Delivers Sharp Retort When Asked About FBI Investigating Dems Who Told Military To Ignore Trump” HERE)

MTG: Trump Calling Me a Traitor Puts ‘My Life in Danger’

/1 Comment/in , /by

Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said President Donald Trump calling her a traitor put her life in danger.

Host Dana Bash, “As you just heard, and I know you saw, the president says he’s withdrawing support for you, encouraging primary challengers. You were one of his biggest supporters. What do you think happened here?”

Taylor Greene said, “I stood with President Trump when virtually no one else did, campaigned all over the country, spent millions of my own dollars helping him get elected. And I think that’s incredibly important. And I do support him and his administration. I support them in delivering the campaign promises we made to the American people. His remarks, of course, have been hurtful. However, I have something in my heart that I think is incredibly important for our country, and that is to end the toxic fighting in politics. This has been going on for years, and it has divided our country, split up friends and families, neighbors and it’s not solving our problems.” (Read more from “MTG: Trump Calling Me a Traitor Puts ‘My Life in Danger’” HERE)

Nancy Pelosi’s Daughter Invokes CNN Reporter’s Dead Child To Defend Democratic Gerontocracy

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Nancy Pelosi’s daughter invoked CNN reporter Andrew Kaczynski’s dead daughter after he called out Democrats for putting senior citizens and people with serious illnesses in positions of power.

Kaczynski, who goes by the Twitter handle “KFILE,” noted 47-year-old Democratic California Rep. Robert Garcia winning his party’s top spot on the House Oversight Committee on Tuesday

“A top committee spot is going to a Democrat that is under the age of 75 or doesn’t have cancer,” KFILE tweeted.

Garcia, who defeated Massachusetts Rep. Stephen Lynch, takes over the Ranking Member spot from former Democratic Virginia Rep. Gerry Connolly, who died from cancer in May at the age of 75.

Before Connolly, the Democrats’ ranking member was Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin, who was also diagnosed with cancer while serving in the role. He is now the Ranking Member on the House Judiciary Committee.

Tulsi Gabbard Accuses Media of Taking Her Out of Context After Trump Addresses Iran Assessment

/0 Comments/in , /by

Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard tells CNN she and President Donald Trump are “on the same page” when it comes to Iran’s nuclear capabilities and timeline. She accused the media of taking her out of context by leaving out her full testimony.

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins asked Trump aboard Air Force One to respond to remarks reportedly made by Gabbard.

“Tulsi Gabbard testified in March that the intelligence community said Iran wasn’t building a nuclear weapon,” Collins said.

“I don’t care what she said,” Trump replied. “I think they were very close to having one.”

In response, Gabbard clarified in a post shared by CNN Capitol Hill reporter Sarah Ferris that she and the president were aligned in their assessment in March. (Read more from “Tulsi Gabbard Accuses Media of Taking Her Out of Context After Trump Addresses Iran Assessment” HERE)
