Fox News and Newsmax sign letter urging Trump to rescind ban on the AP - eviltoast

Summary

Fox News and Newsmax joined 40 news organizations in signing a letter urging the Trump administration to lift its ban on the Associated Press (AP) from White House events.

The ban stems from AP’s refusal to adopt the term “Gulf of America” instead of “Gulf of Mexico,” following a Trump executive order.

Newsmax defended AP’s First Amendment rights despite ideological differences.

The White House Correspondents’ Association and the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press also protested the ban, but Trump remains firm, calling AP a “radical left organization.”

    Maybe if you didn’t enable him and everything he’s been doing for 10 fucking years we wouldn’t be in this situation in the first place. Now if you go against him you get shut out, which is probably what would happen to Fox and Newsmax. It’s all for the good of America until they come for you. I’m sure within the next week we’ll get to hear about how “woke” fox news is.

    It’s the same feeling I have towards Mitch McConnell. We literally wouldn’t be in this situation if it wasn’t for him.
