AP wins reinstatement to White House events after judge rules government can’t bar its journalists

[TroglocratsRdumb]

The left-wing bias in the news is not a policy thing.
It is a cultural thing.
The left hates the Republicans because of the types of people who vote Republican.
The Republicans get the majority of the votes from White people, Christians, middle class people, rural people, suburbanite people, married people, Southerners, Midwesterners, wasps......those are the types of people who the left hates.

‘A federal judge ordered the White House on Tuesday to restore The Associated Press’ full access to cover presidential events, affirming on First Amendment grounds that the government cannot punish the news organization for the content of its speech.

U.S. District Judge Trevor N. McFadden, an appointee of President Donald Trump, ruled that the government can’t retaliate against the AP’s decision not to follow the president’s executive order to rename the Gulf of Mexico. The decision handed the AP a major victory at a time the White House has been challenging the press on several levels.

“Under the First Amendment, if the Government opens its doors to some journalists—be it to the Oval Office, the East Room, or elsewhere—it cannot then shut those doors to other journalists because of their viewpoints,” McFadden wrote. “The Constitution requires no less.”’

AP wins reinstatement to White House events after judge rules government can’t bar its journalists

A federal judge has ordered the White House to restore The Associated Press’ full access to cover presidential events.

Very good.

Let’s hope this encourages other news agencies to stand up to the fascist Trump regime.

Dumb. The White House isn’t forcing them to follow the name of Gulf of America. It’s choosing who they allow into the White House. They are under no obligation to allow certain outlets or journalists.

The AP will be given a seat in the backrow.
And Trump doesn't have to take their questions.

 

[g5000]

Which TV news channel is the most Democrat?
ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN or MSNBC?

I would say MSNBC.

MSNBC is the Fox News of the Left.

 

[Scoutster]

This will be quickly appealed, and hopefully a stay of this stupid order will be coming.

The AP has no right to be on AF1 or in the Oval Office, as this judge ordered; there is no mention of an AP in the Constitution.

Leftist scum hate everything. Given time, they will turn on everything and everybody.

Look at how they treat Jews, who still (stupidly) vote 80% dimocrap. Look how rhey treat Black Males. Look at how they treat women. Look at.... They even hate each other.

Anybody else? Who haven't dimocrap scum back-stabbed?

They even stabbed their own PRESIDENT in the back!! And now, they're back-biting Kumswalla.

dimocraps be some diseased muthafukkas. The whole cabal. From the lowest voter to the top of the ticket -- Sick.

We should start a pool...... Who will be next? They can't back-stab me because I'll never turn my back on them. I know what's coming if I do.

Associated Propaganda has no right to be included.

 

[22lcidw]

The Democrats never banned journalists. Or even suggested it, despite what crazy stories FOX made up.

Republicans are unique in being such censor-happy authoritarian ratfuks.

Trump will not be putting up with the Prog Socialist Commies he did in his first term. He learned lessons and you did not. He controls you now within his confines. Pope John Paul 2 before he passed away stated...."America has lost its way". When he became Pope and visited early as the pontiff he stated. "America is a beacon". John Paul 2 died 20 years ago. And we are worse off now.

Make them fill out an application form, submit fingerprints and passport photos, and pass an FBI background check. And pay a $200 tax per news article. And then take 18 months to approve it.

Meh, just because they have access doesn't mean anyone has to take a question from them. They can simply be ignored.

Nobody "deserves" to be in the press room at the white house. That's a pretty small room and not every news agency can get a seat in there. AP, nor any agency has a 'right" to be in there. The white house doesn't even have to give press briefings.

Not allowing someone into the press room isn't a violation of freedom of speech, they are free to print whatever they want. Nobody had a right to have access to the press room.

I don't see how the courts think they have the authority to say who gets a seat in the press room. That's a bit of over reach I think

 

[ThisIsMe]

As the left never censored

Uh..mark Zuckerberg would like to have a word with you about that..

 

[ThisIsMe]

That's the same thing. It violates the judge's order.

Where does the judge get the power to determine who gets a seat in a very limited space?

 

[BluesLegend]

Breaking: Trump installs a soundproof booth in the White House briefing room for the AP.

Absolutely. It would be easier, cheaper and more accurate for them to just stay home and report what they hear on OAN or Fox.

You kids have completely lost what little mind you ever had.

As usual, you’re jut a moron,

Why is the Biden White House Kicking Reporters Out?

This week, we spoke to veteran White House Reporter Fred Lucas and Daily Signal Executive Editor Rob Bluey to find out what’s going on John Popp: From The Heritage Foundation, this is Heritage Explains.

In July, the White House culled about 30% of the “hard passes” that allowed reporters into daily White House briefings.

President Trump isn't Congress, and he's made no law.

The President always chooses which members of the press have Oval Office and/or AF1 access, and AP has no special privilege to be among them.

Glad to have straightened that out for you.

Several Supreme Court holdings firmly point to the conclusion that the Free Press Clause does not confer on the press the power to compel government to furnish information or otherwise give the press access to information that the public generally does not have.<a href="https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/amdt1-9-1/ALDE_00000395/#ALDF_00006069">5</aany respects, is the press entitled to treatment different in kind from the treatment to which any other member of the public may be subjected.<a href="https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/amdt1-9-1/ALDE_00000395/#ALDF_00006070">6</a has ruled that [g]enerally applicable laws do not offend the First Amendment simply because their enforcement against the press has incidental effects.<a href="https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/amdt1-9-1/ALDE_00000395/#ALDF_00006071">7</ame time, the Court has recognized that laws targeting the press, or treating different subsets of media outlets differently, may sometimes violate the First Amendment.<a href="https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/amdt1-9-1/ALDE_00000395/#ALDF_00001311">8</ait does seem clear that, to some extent, the press, because of its role in disseminating news and information, is entitled to heightened constitutional protections—that its role constitutionally entitles it to governmental sensitivity, to use Justice Potter Stewart’s word.<a href="https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/amdt1-9-1/ALDE_00000395/#ALDF_00006072">9</a

AP is not a person it is a news organization and Trump can't keep AP from accessing the press releases he allows other news organizations access to.
