TREE NEWS update: US President Donald Trump said on September 18 that The New York Times and The Washington Post are also “fake news media” and could be added to a White House press ban. He reiterated the ban he announced earlier on social media on CNN, MS Now and Politico, barring the three outlets from the White House.
Trump Names New York Times, Washington Post as Possible Additions to White House Press Ban
The significance here is the expansion of a White House press ban beyond the three outlets named earlier to two of the most established national newspapers, a move that turns a targeted restriction into a broader question of press access. It affects the credentialed reporters covering the president and the outlets' ability to report from inside the White House. Whether the threat is acted on, and whether other outlets are named next, is the open question.
