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

[iamwhatiseem]

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

Yes they did, especially on Air Force one.

First Amendment:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

If they have a right to be there, so does every podcaster who calls him/herself the press. Obviously, there's limited space so discrimination will happen. Basically, all the other media outlets just need to get there first, leaving these outside.

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.

They can pick up printed copies on the table outside the door.

President Trump made no law.

And since when can a judge order reporters into the Oval Office and onto AF1?

AP has the same access to press releases as anyone else, they have merely been denied access to the Oval Office and AF1. Capiche?

AP has no right to such access, and claiming they do would mean every reporter could claim access. How many people can get into the Oval Office do you think? Or onto AF1?

Remember that Trump censored the AP ... because they wouldn't say "Gulf of America". That's how much a pissy fascist loser Trump is.

And Trump's followers all love him specifically because he's such a pissy fascist loser. Like attracts like.

No one is forcing the Trump cultists here to lovingly tongue fascist rectums and praise censorship. They all do that voluntarily. None of them has the guts to criticize DearLeader in even the slightest way. You don't have to be 'nadless to worship Trump ... oh wait, you actually do.

In case I'm not being clear, I'm highlighting how every Trump cultist on this thread is a whiny ... kitty. It's kind of what defines the Trump cult, their overwhelming ... kittitude.

Wow, glad that's not going on. That sounds crazy, almost like democrats.

White House Stops Responding to "Journalists" With Pronouns In Their Email Signature Lines​

Nonsense pronouns means nonsense questions and nonsense hit pieces.

MxM News: White House stops responding to reporters with pronouns in emails

White House stops responding to reporters with pronouns in emails

mxmnews.com

The Trump White House has begun declining to respond to media requests from reporters who include gender pronouns in their email signatures. The move aligns with the administration's broader rejection of what it calls "gender ideology" in the federal government.

Key Details:

"As a matter of policy, we do not respond to reporters with pronouns in their bios," Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt wrote in an email to a New York Times reporter asking about climate research.


Katie Miller, a senior adviser at the Department of Government Efficiency, echoed that approach in a separate exchange, telling another Times journalist, "I don't respond to people who use pronouns in their signatures as it shows they ignore scientific realities and therefore ignore facts."

The policy reflects a broader Trump administration stance that has barred federal employees from listing preferred pronouns in government emails and cracked down on DEI-related practices across agencies.

Another judge trying to tell the President what he can and can not do.

This is not a First Amendment issue.

It's an Executive Powers issue.

The only place that the press doesn't have a right to is a prison. Any other public place can be patronized by the free press.

Yes, it is a First Amendment issue. Trump has a problem with them because they failed to recognize his edict, which is not a legal reason.

So how does one determine which journalists are legit and which arent?

Can some online blogger with 5 followers say "Im a journalist" and then can't be barred?

It's all interesting. Especially since it was said that some media outlets were warned if they asked certain questions of Biden that they would be barred. That's what I head on Fox News I believe by some whistleblower, a former Dem I believe.

They apply for a lottery of rotating pool of bloggers, journalist and reporters.

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

That's MSDNC and they are a wing of the DNC.

Get a transplant?

What does that have to do with the topic?

What does that have to do with the topic?

That's my final answer.

 

[toobfreak]

This will be quickly appealed,

It is being appealed.

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.

Fact. Trump has the right to whomever he wishes at his pressers and certainly on AF1. The press are there at his pleasure.

That's my final answer.

Don't be mad..

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.

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.

Orange bag O' shit fucks up again. Must be a day that ends in 'y'.
