CNN Sues Trump For Violating Its First Amendment Right To Fabricate News


In the latest wave of legal turmoil enveloping the nation's capital, cable network CNN sued the Trump administration for allegedly violating its First Amendment rights to fabricate the news.

CNN, MSNOW, and Politico expressed outrage after President Donald Trump expelled the outlets from the White House, arguing that his administration was denying them their constitutional rights to make things up and report them as facts.

"He has no right to keep us from making things up," said CNN personality Kaitlan Collins. "It is the right — and indeed the duty — of major news outlets in the United States to carefully fabricate false narratives to undermine Trump's leadership and foment anger and fear among the populace. How are we supposed to erode confidence in the administration if we're not allowed to spread fake news? Our rights are being violated."

Trump remained defiant in response to heavy criticism of his decision. "They're just a bunch of losers," he told the remaining reporters in the Oval Office. "They have always been very unkind to me. Very unkind. But now, they'll have to be unkind outside, because I won't let them into the White House. Kaitlan Collins. Have you seen her? Not very attractive, sadly. She looks like someone made her with Silly Putty, doesn't she? Silly Putty Kaitlan, we call her. Sad."

At publishing time, a spokesperson for CNN's legal department said the network hoped to reach a resolution quickly and be back reporting blatant falsehoods from the White House press pool as soon as possible.

@sunsporter1649 Well, Fox have walked out in solidarity with those who are banned. The line has been crossed

If it is so obvious that they have "made things up", why does Trump need to ban them? Here in the UK we have media outlets such as GB News, X, The Daily Mail, etc, who produce reams of utter drivel every day. We laugh, we point out their errors, we move on. We don't behave like a frightened little dictator and try to silence legitimate debate.

@SunshineGirl false statements of fact, inciting violence, obscenity, etc. aren't protected by our 1st Amendment

technically, it's no more legal for a so called news agency to claim validity in a fake story than you calling in a fake bomb threat or shouting "fire" in a crowded building to incite panic.

It is of course just possible that at least some of the stuff that CNN et al have reported on that makes Trump look bad...is just bad stuff

@Lhayezee

2023: The Biden Administration restricted more than 440 reporters from White House access through a new, retroactive press credentialing process — with independent and conservative journalists taking a heavy share of the hit. The White House Correspondents’ Association barely objected.

@sunsporter1649 Obama blocked only FOX

@Lhayezee Well, he is because he didn't do anything. If you actually think for yourself and do a little digging, you will see that it was Trump who reported Epstein to the FBI after hearing about what he and Hollywood, Obama, and the clintons were doing there. There is absolutely no proof Trump ever did anything regarding Epstein. Now CNN just said it. To be exonerated, you actually have to be charged legally and go to trial and acquitted. To claim someone did something illegal, publicly, in an attempt to tarnish them personally or professionally is illegal and can be punished criminally and civilly. They are still being investigated for trying to influence voters by slandering Trump before an election.

if the founders wanted us to have a free press they should’ve written it down somewhere
Nobody has said they can’t keep printing their propaganda.
They can’t print till their printing hands fall off..
if CNN has a inherent right to the White House. So do the other 1M journos in the country.. better upgrade that ballroom ..

@Richard65 Yup, that ruskie disinformation laptop that was reported was a barrel of laughs

@Richard65 when you examine most of the claims of trump being treated “unfairly”, the media is simply reporting a direct quote, reposting a tweet, or linking a video - a direct source.
