Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Monday, September 21, 2026

Donald Trump said on Friday he is banning three major news outlets - CNN, MS NOW and Politico - from the White House in his latest move to crack down on the independent press. The move is almost certain to face legal challenges as free speech experts said it conflicts with the US Constitution's First Amendment protections for free speech and a free press.

President Trump is relentlessly trying to punish the media for coverage he doesn't like. This is an unconstitutional assault on the freedom of the press.

Oops, Pres Trump accidentally says how he views the White House, but catches himself at the last second ...

"I don't have to let them into my, into the people's house."

Following in Obama's and Auto-pen's footsteps is not a good look.

Re 3

So true. Accidentally I'm sure.

Nothing criminally incompetent and criminally negligent Trumpy can do would be a "good look" compared to previous administrations.

Never forget that the Biden White House KICKED OUT African Journalist Simon Ateba for Asking Questions..
Not one member of the corporate press called it out as an "attack on free speech".
They stayed silent.
Where was CNN?
Where was MSNBC?
Where was Politico?
Ateba sued and was allowed back into the briefing room. Where Karine Jean Pierre stuck him in the back and never called on him.
Legacy media doesn't care about free speech or journalism they only care about their power to lie, smear and manipulate
